Active compensatory factors: One of my daughters was a fan of this band and so I heard the first two albums a lot around the house when she was living at home.

I bought a copy of their first album because the songs were crunchy, witty, and catchy. There were four singles taken from the album, so I heard these on the radio as well: Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I've Done and Smile Like You Mean It.
The first half of this album is loaded with those familiar hits, while the second half isn't quite as effective to my ears. Brandon Flowers' vocals are worthy of note - they are consistently interesting throughout this pop smart album.
Where do they all belong? A great artifact from the early 2000s.
