So the big controversy that I heard around this song anyhow was "denser vs. dancer". Meaning during the chorus is he singing "are we human, or are we denser?" vs. "are we human, or are we dancer?" mumbling vocals and that controversy aside, this song rocks in my estimation. Great beat, interesting build/arc throughout the song and just an interesting overall sound. Now the video was a littly funky, Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, head Mormon in the group) was wearing this crazy jacket with stuff coming off, going in all directions. Weird.
By far not the best song on the album, Human was the only single to my knowledge off of Day and Age and represents the bands third effort (unless you count sawdust), which I don't so much consider another album as a CD of all the leftover crap from their first two albums (One standout however was the track there with Lou Reed). If you happen to be living in the stone age, or just woke up from a Rip VanWinkle or something to that effect and haven't actually heard this song, go check it out. The whole album is well worth it in my humble opinion.
