The Desired Effect by Brandon Flowers... was an unexpected favorite listen in 2015.
I'm not really a big fan of the Killers (Sam's Town may be the most important sophomore album of the 2000's) but anything produced by Ariel Rechtshaid should get a patient listen. I'm not sure if this album got any ground in Radio or not but there's a number of songs on here I thought could own the Summer.
The "Thriller" font gave me great pause...
I've always considered Brandon Flowers to be newer Billy Joel... I hear a lot of Springsteen on this record and I'm holding him now in much higher regard.
