I really like the way they made this song their own. I think it's a great cover by a great band. Joy Division is Joy Division, they wrote the song, so naturally it sounds better coming from them. But you have to look at this song as it's own to see the beauty in it.

Anyways it still is a terrific cover, you guys may not compare both versions from the same point, The Killers won't ever be like JD.

Those who think this terrible cover is better than the original are just some mongoloid cattle for slaughter, brainwashed by MTV's Emo Department.
