Staff Web Pick of the Week:
The Killers’ "Human" video
We still haven’t quite figured out how to translate those lyrics. Meanwhile, if its new video is any indication, "Human" is all about how it feels to…er…rock out in a lonely Southwestern desert for an audience composed of steep mesas and a snow leopard. Hey, when the song is this much fun, who cares what it all means?

    So in a word, you’re rating HSM3 above the new AC/DC??? You must be insane!

  • Eric Friedmann

    It’s truly sad and pathetic when some EW hack would actually have the balls to give a higher rating to the soundtrack of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 over an album by possibly one of the greatest rock bands of all time (AC/DC)! With all the unemployment out there, I can’t believe this idiot actually has a job like this!
