The Killers - Battle Born

[Cruyff14]

How do people hate on Sam's Town? Great album.

Prize Fighter is my favourite track. Like The Rising Tide a lot too.

 

[screech]

OK, after a few listens I am really starting to like this
Runaways is a gem - grows each time
Here With Me has one of the most powerful choruses I have heard for a long time
From Here On Out sounds like they have taken The Grateful Dead's Touch of Grey, cleaned it up, removed the excess and turned it into a 2.5 minute classic.

 

[King Elvis]

Sam's Town is brilliant; very strong album from start to finish.

Battle Born probably my favourite song on this album so far, but I'm warming to a few others.

Prize Fighter and Rising Tide are great too.

 

[King Elvis]

Grown on me a bit.

 

[Cruyff14]

It's a solid album, I don't see peoples problem with it.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Couple of really good songs, a couple of really s**t songs, and a fair bit in the middle.

Grown on me a bit.

Yep, the more I listen to it the better it gets

 

[King Elvis]

Battle Born is awesome; Miss Atomic Bomb is up there with Brightside.

The Desired Effect is prett damned good too.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Still can't get into it, but Shot at the Night off the greatest hits is a ****** choon and a half.

 

[The Big Sauce]

The album was decent, but Battleborn is the only song off of it that I absolutely loved.

I still think it was a better record than Day & Age though.

So is Just Another Girl

 

[Cruyff14]

Runaways by far the best track on there and one of the best they've done.

 

[Grizzly86]

Yep, the more I listen to it the better it gets

That generally sums up each Killers album I've listened too. Given 10-15 spins, I'm usually very keen on each album.

Concurred! Comfortably in their Top 5.

Yeh I absolutely love this song. I still love Mr Brightside though especially as I feel it has a double meaning in the chorus:

"Open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr Brightside"

"Open up my eager eyes, cause I Missed the Brightside."

 

[The Big Sauce]

Shot at the Night is a good song but it isn't in their top 5.

Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
Mr Brightside
Sweet Talk
Midnight Show
When You Were Young

Are my personal top 5 and I'd have at least another 5 songs before we got to Shot.

 

[Cruyff14]

All These
Reasons
Brightside
WYWY
Read My Mind

Not necessarily that order, but they would probably be my top 5. All These their best IMO.

 

[Grizzly86]

When You Were Young
Mr Brightside
Tranquilize
Shot at The Night
Runaways

 

[Cruyff14]

Runaways, great shout, would maybe have that instead of Read My Mind.

This River is Wild is ******* rad too.

This River is Wild is ******* rad too.

Yep, Top 5 is difficult with the soaring chorus of This River is Wild, songs like All These Things I've Done, Sam's Town, Spaceman and Jenny Was a Friend of Mine all being worthy.

 

[bok_party]

Jenny
Shot at the night
When you were young
Runaways
On top
Under the gun
Smile Like you mean it
Mr Brightside.

Hard to seperate for me.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Runaways, great shout, would maybe have that instead of Read My Mind.

This River is Wild is ******* rad too.

It annoys me that I left off This River is Wild. That would probably sneak into my top 5.

Read My Mind & All The Pretty Faces would also be in my top 10.

 

[King Elvis]

Brightside.
Miss Atomic Bomb.
A Dustland Fairytale.

Clear top 3 IMO.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Read My Mind
Spaceman
Everything Will Be Alright
On Top
Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf
