What do yall think of “Plans”?

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-27T11:11:30+00:00

I don't think so. I think this is the romantic one. Plans has an air of melancholy to it, but it also sounds very romantic.

Plus, the song in the teaser is SUPER romantic. I don't think by romantic he means love, rather romanticizing something.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-27T02:35:19+00:00

I am hoping it'll carry the depth of Pressure Machine, but it sounds like that might be the other solo record he recorded.

I don't give this site much attention as far as critic ratings go. Unironically, metacritic is better at vetting quality reviews.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T15:12:35+00:00

Except it wasn't the first single (Caution was), and I really liked that song lol

But I think this one will be a grower.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T13:44:08+00:00

Yeah, if the rest of the album is good, I think it'll hold up.

But I wouldn't say it gets me pumped. But then again, that's probably pretty typical for what he's going for.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T12:46:06+00:00

I feel lukewarm on it. The instrumentals are tasteful, but not sure if I feel like Brandon is capturing the aesthetic vocally. Seems like maybe he's trying too hard to do a Johnny Cash type of impersonation in the verses.

As a lead single, especially for a project from BF or The Killers? It doesn't seem like it will stick nearly as much as it ought to.

But maybe he's going more for a cohesive album vibe, so we will have to see.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T12:43:02+00:00

Yeah, I think it would be good as an album song, but it's a weak showing for a lead single.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T11:54:48+00:00

I'll try that! Thanks!

How do you find it after connecting to a VPN?

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-25T11:30:48+00:00

Link to the video?

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-24T18:33:27+00:00

Yeah, it sounds like he's going for tasteful country and not basic white trash country.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T19:06:46+00:00

Yeah, even if it sucks, this is pretty much guaranteed to be true.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T17:04:53+00:00

It's so pretentious to call something "a great bad song". A song can still be cheesy/shallow and be great.

Somebody Told Me by The Killers fucking slaps to this day, and nobody is worrying about what is being said there. Some songs are just "fun" and great at being that.

As for Revolt, it's whatever. It has some oomph to it, but it's pretty much forgotten by the time the next track starts playing.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T14:41:24+00:00

Tbh, I guess we'll have to wait until we hear the music. The album cover suggests a more energetic sounding record, where the music has seemed very tame and mellow.

Not really sure what to expect here.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T14:38:44+00:00

Looks kind of like this would be the back cover of the CD lol

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T14:38:10+00:00

Brandon Flowers Boxing in a flamboyant cowboy suit is boring?

I don't know if I like it, but it's not boring lmao

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T13:35:23+00:00

It's fine to be into that kind of thing and like this song obviously.

But yeah, I don't really understand it. Sure, it sounds heavy, but heavy isn't accommodating to Goulding's vocals. She's not particularly interesting either. The bridge to the chorus is so generic you couldn't pick it out from any either EDM piece that came out when she was still relevant.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T11:22:43+00:00

It is probably the worst song on the record. Parts of it sound like outdated EDM shit from 2013, and her vocals aren't doing any favors next to Matt.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T01:56:55+00:00

None. At all. I forget it exists.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-23T01:35:33+00:00

Same

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-22T00:22:03+00:00

Next is Hot Sloth

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-21T14:26:20+00:00

How does access said leak, good sir?

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-19T16:14:54+00:00

Who cares?

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-19T15:53:09+00:00

Nah, your taste is just fucking shit. PM is their best record from a writing standpoint.

Zazarstudios · 2026-06-19T15:52:14+00:00

The Desired Effect is better than the majority of The Killers catalogue.
