Brandon Flowers - Flamingo - Page 2 - Album Review

Okay, first of all; AbsolutePunk is an awesome site... as a news site about music. Cause the reviews are not good at all. I mean, they are well written, and there's no doubt these guys know how to write a good review. But after all, it's either hate it or love it. You guys keep bashing bands, and praising bands from review to review. And when you keep giving top scores multiple times a week, then we readers begin to doubt. It's no big deal to see an album getting top score anymore, cause it happens too often. Just my thoughts.

Loving this album

First of all, a 96%?

Second of all:

Freddy Mercury meets gospel

Uhhhh, what? I enjoy Brandon Flowers and this album, but it is definitely no where close to deserving that high of a score, nor is Flowers deserving of having his name mentioned in the same sentence as Freddy Mercury.

yikes.

Really? A 10 for creativity?
Very well written review though. Good job.

Very interesting review. I haven't heard any of his solo stuff yet, but I proly will soon.

Yeah, if it's even remotely a rehash of Sam's Town, there's no logical reason that it should receive a ten for creativity.

96 is ridiculous.

AOTY? wtf...

It's kind of impossible to answer that question since it was Thomas who reviewed LP. Different reviewers, different tastes.

**BozzBlonde** · 06:54 AM on 09/15/10 #26

Linkin Park deserves that rating.

And I was debating whether I should get this album. After reading this review, I just might.

**JordanBuell** · 07:22 AM on 09/15/10 #27

i really enjoy the album.

**Spenny** · 07:39 AM on 09/15/10 #28

Way, way, way too high of a score, but it's a pretty good album.

Good review. I enjoy this album more than the recent Killer's releases, but the score is a tad too high, in my opinion.
