December 22, 201212 yr The album did get some promotion like Alan Carr etc but overall i think it could have been promoted more. I could be wrong when i say that though as i live in ireland and sometimes miss out on some of the uk promo.
February 11, 201312 yr 'Flesh & Bone' is on the release schedule! Due for April! YESSSS! I'm happy with that (I would have been happier for 'Battle Born', but that's for purely selfish reasons) :P. Hopefully we get a cool video for it!
February 11, 201312 yr They really need Radio 1 to get on board for it to become any kind of hit though. Let's hope they see sense this time after criminally ignoring Here With Me!
February 11, 201312 yr Great another single release not so great it will be another flop. We can only hope it will boost album sales which to date are extremely underwhelming for Battleborn.
February 11, 201312 yr Underwhelming for a The Killers album, definitely. But I still think it's a big success for them and I know thousands of other artists who would die to have those sales, especially in todays sales climate. They were due an underperforming album/era anyway. It was handled so wrong and messy. Was HWM an official single? Why was it released so close to MAB's release? Why have they done little promotion for the album? They need interviews on these chat shows they perform on :(
February 11, 201312 yr Who knows if HWM was an official single, the lines are so blurry these days. Radio 2 playlisted it though, if that means anything! But yeah there should definitely have been a lot more promotion, maybe they will for this single. Anyone know how much Battle Born has sold so far?
February 15, 201312 yr The whole era has been handled badly and its got hardy any promotion and taking that into account the album has done well bu iit had the potential to do so much better for them. I agree they are one of the few bands of their era so still remain successful and so many bands would kill for the success the killers are still achieving. I still wish the album had sold better though.
March 6, 201312 yr This release has been so messed up, such a shame. "Runaways" would have probably gone top 10 OA/OS. The whole second single debacle was ridiculous, they gave "Miss Atomic Bomb" the airplay and "Here With Me" the great video. Should have pushed the latter properly and left the former for this time of year in place of "Flesh and Bone" which I think is one of the weaker tracks. "The Way It Was" next please.
March 6, 201312 yr 'The Way It Was' would have been preferable to F&B, but I still love F&B, so if it IS that song that gets a release then I'm all for it. But I agree that this era has been a complete mess and it's clear they rushed everything! Which is a huge shame. Had they thought about it properly, we'd be getting bigger sales for both the albums and the singles would be doing their jobs. I'm just thinking of this as their "flop gem" (like their equivalent to 'Blackout', 'My December' etc..).
March 18, 201312 yr This article claims they've started 'working on a new album'. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/3...llers-stay-put/ I don't expect this before Summer 2014 but at least it's nice to know they're not going on another break.
April 8, 201312 yr I saw them live on March 31st and I can positively say it was the best night of my life :cry: I can't believe it's gone, I still can't believe it's been a week, I feel it was just yesterday. It was such a special night, I loved it and I love them more than ever! Definitely the best concert I've ever been to, and it's the third time I see them live!
April 8, 201312 yr Oh, and I'm getting a BATTLE BORN tattoo next week... I'll post pics if anyone's interested :D I'm overly excited.
April 9, 201312 yr Yes Luciano! :o A photo would be awesome! Is it just gonna be the 'Battle Born' font (with the lightning bolt as the E)? Should look great! So pleased you had a good time and that it seems to be your favourite gig, despite being to a couple of their previous ones :o Doesn't look like it! :( But anyway, I do hope the article regarding new material is true. The more "The Killers", the better (obviously).

August 12, 201311 yr I won't start a new topic until something's been confirmed for definite... (because they've apparently been recording for a brand new album) Just got this from Rihanna's forum: Apparently, she ISN'T releasing anything this year. Lee Thompson @leethommo 10 Aug So, Xmas Album Watch Update. That Robbie 'Swing' album's coming, along with Killers Gt Hits, something a bit special from Queen & no Rihanna (This guy seems pretty reliable too, he called Katy Perry releasing in October months ago.)I'd obviously much rather a new studio album, but a greatest hits would be wonderful <3 (And hopefully be enough to FINALLY push 'Mr. Brightside' top 40 officially again).
