Brandon Flowers - Crossfire
Does anyone else think that this is one of the best tracks of the year so far. I didn't know what to make of this when I first heard it, but It's really grown on me over the past few weeks. Hope it's number 1 when it get's released.

It's up there in my top 5 favourite songs released this year so far. Iw ould love for it to go to number one, but Taio Cruz is releasing Dynamite that week, which is a sure fire number one. I think Crossfire will go top 10 though. I predict his album will be top 5.
He is also on Chatty Man in the next few weeks, promoting, which is good. |

I prefered your first reply tbh. I know what a ballad is, and I don't think it has it's qualities in Crossfire. Why change your answer to a rude one
![]() You're odd. Edit: From wiki: The most common use of the term ballad in modern pop music is for an emotional love song From thefreedictionary: 2. A popular song especially of a romantic or sentimental nature. |

i changed it because I looked at what you said again and realised your ignorance. And you obviously don't know what it is if you don't see any qualities of a ballad in this song.

nevertheless I give a 7/10 I was very interested to hear what his solo stuff would be like, only just listened to this for the first time and I'm sitting here thinking I'm quite underwhelmed. And I think you summed up exactly why. It all seems a bit middle of the road and unimaginative, which isn't really what I was expecting. Difficult to dislike it, but it just doesnt feel like it's anything special. I'll probably still get his album though! ![]() Edit - big props for a video with ninjas in though! |

Oh dear... I know they aren't the most reliable source but are you actually suggesting they're lying about that?
And oh the dictionary lies too I'd like to know your definition of what a ballad is. ![]() I don't think it sounds like a ballad. It's more uplifting than that. You must lead a pretty sad life if you are getting bitchy with me because I disagree with something you think is factually correct.... |

i dunno if it will reflect the rest of the album, he said he chose it as first single because it was his son's favourite, which i thought was pretty cool.
