September 18, 201213 yr I was chatting to a friend earlier, an avid Killers fan, and we both agreed that Battle Born is their "Let's abandon what made our sound unique and be U2 instead" album. Their X&Y, The Resistance, Only By The Night, as it were. It seems the draw of selling £50 concert tickets was too strong for Flowers and co...

September 19, 201213 yr their unstaged concert was amazing :dance:, they only sang two songs from the new album, runaways and flesh and bone, I think runaways sounds much better live I really liked it ,and I liked flesh and bone although I didn't loved it but I think it's a really good song and it will grow on me : ).
September 19, 201213 yr Looks like they didnt show the whole set :/ At least they showed all of Coldplay's gig.. didnt they? Here is the full setlist from their show in NY.. I love the song "Here With Me" btw Runaways Somebody Told Me Smile Like You Mean It Spaceman Flesh And Bone For Reasons Unknown Miss Atomic Bomb Bling (Confession of a King) Shadowplay (Joy Division cover) Human Here With Me A Dustland Fairytale Forever Young (Alphaville cover) Read My Mind Mr. Brightside All These Things That I've Done Encore: Jenny Was a Friend of Mine When You Were Young

September 21, 201213 yr ^ Is it just me or he doesn't feel really confortable with the eagle on his hand?
September 22, 201213 yr Humble opinion. Wow, battle born is frighteningly awful. What the hell happened?
September 23, 201213 yr Humble opinion. Wow, battle born is frighteningly awful. What the hell happened? Agreed. I was a big killers fan through the first two albums and some of sawdust, i could handle day and age a bit, this is pretty bad (minus a couple tunes). "I dont want your picture on my cell phone, i want you here with me." how could he write that lyric down and say oh that's good. I think there time has come and gone pretty much.
September 25, 201213 yr am I the only one who is loving the album? the only dud is Heart of a Gir, which Brandon seems to love. and what's wrong with U2? last time I checked they were doing pretty well. Flesh and Bone, Battle Born, Miss Atomic Bomb, and Be Still are my favs
September 25, 201213 yr My track by track review Flesh and Bone: Will go down as an instant classic and one of their best openers ever Runaways: Good as a single but cant ever really get into it completely The Way It Was: Kind of strange I loved this first listen but the more I listen the more I hate it. Here With Me: I like the flow of this song but lyrically it's awful A Matter Of Time: Only listened to this a few times! Easily the 2nd worst song on the album. Deadlines and Commitments: The exact opposite of TWIW. Hated it at first but now I love it. Miss Atomic Bomb: Loved it the first time I heard it live and love the studio version. Guaranteed this will be a single! The Rising Tide: I like this song but grew tired of it cause heard live versions of it a year before. Heart of a Girl: Worst song off the album. Listened once and never again! Here On Out: Reminds me of The Clock Was Tickin' (Brandon Flowers) I prefer the live version Be Still: This version of Coldplay's Up With The Birds. Album's best song that will most likely never get played live or become a single. Battle Born: I really like this track and is good as the traditional closer but would have prefered Be Still closing. Carry Me Home: Kind of disappointed with this song! I admit I jam to it at times though. Flesh and Bone Remix: Hated all remixes on Sawdust but was suprised to find out this one was as good as original Prize Fighter: Wish this wasnt a bonus track cause it's unbelievable! Should have replaced HoaG! Still cant believe that song made album. My top 5 tracks 1. Be Still 2. Flesh and Bone 3. Prize Fighter 4. Deadlines and Commitments 5. Miss Atomic Bomb 7.5/10 Better than Muse's The 2nd Law (6.5/10) of most anticipated albums of 2012
September 25, 201213 yr Be Still: This version of Coldplay's Up With The Birds. Album's best song that will most likely never get played live or become a single. Totally agree with this :nod: it's my favorite song on the album.
September 25, 201213 yr I love love love this album, they didn't disappoint me at all (coughlikecoldplaydidcough), it's a breathe of fresh air after Day & Age for me, was not really fond of that one, never got into most of the tracks. And I adore Heart Of A Girl, it's beautiful, it's about Brandon and his wife's first meeting, and Brandon's way of singing reminds me so much of Bono's (so I guess if you can't stand Bono you're not gonna like this one, your loss :P) No but seriously, I'm so happy of this album, Brandon's voice has never been so powerful and full, can't wait to hear the new songs live in London in November :dance: edit: this is Miss Atomic Bomb from Jimmy Kimmel (guess it's a kind of confirmation this will be the second single, if we didn't already knew from the sticker on the album) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_k6P3uXnk0]The Killers Perform "Miss Atomic Bomb" - YouTube[/ame]
October 28, 201213 yr Bump they just started the tour two days ago in Glasgow and they have a longer setlist than the summer shows :D anyone planning on seeing them live?
October 29, 201213 yr Bump they just started the tour two days ago in Glasgow and they have a longer setlist than the summer shows :D anyone planning on seeing them live? I'm going to try to get tickets this thursday for their concert in Amsterdam next year. Not a huge fan, but a fan!
October 29, 201213 yr "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend, that looked like your girlfriend" << ewww!!!! i like the song though
November 6, 201213 yr I'm going to try to get tickets this thursday for their concert in Amsterdam next year. Not a huge fan, but a fan! Yeah me too, I ordered tickets for Brussels, (It's closer from where I live than Amsterdam) Not a huge fan either, but I can sing along most of their songs and I HAVE to see them live once:D Be still is a beautiful song, maybe my favorite already. For me it's like the up In Flames of Battleborn. @harrisonrules They played Be Still live:D

For me it's like the up In Flames of Battleborn. @harrisonrules They played Be Still live:D That's seems logical. Well I'm very happy with my Amsterdam tickets, finally get to hear and see Mr. Brightside live! Tomorrow it's time to buy some Mumford & Sons tickets too. It's going to be a great March!
November 13, 201213 yr I got my tickets today to see them on april! I missed them the last two times they came (but I did see Brandon solo)... Third time's the charm! Can't wait! :dance:
November 13, 201213 yr I'll chime in and say Heart of a Girl is not a bad song. there are definitely more listenable songs than others, but the synth line has this Lanois element to it that makes it awesome
