After the excitement of last night and the thrilling comeback win, tonight the Mariners offense engaged in a sophomore slump not seen since the Killers released Sam’s Town on an unsuspecting public.
Okay, that’s not exactly fair. Sam’s Town at least features “When You Were Young,” a certified banger that recaptured some of the early glory of the Vegas band’s breakthrough debut album Hot Fuss. It’s no “Mr. Brightside” or “Somebody Told Me” but it’s a fine track in its own right, full of the soaring orchestral excitement and driving guitar riffs that made Hot Fuss some Grade-A road trip music.
