I'll probably host a Killers singles rate once this album is out for a while!

 

Amazing idea :)

It will be interesting to see how the new singles fare against the older tracks! I can definitely see My Own Souls Warning contending for Top 10 with Caution lower in the Top 20. I’d also appreciate a climb for Run For Cover too, seeing as it’s done nothing but grow stronger on me in the last two years and is definitely up there with the classics

I am here for a The Killers single rate x -forgets to vote in it anyway-

 

'Caution' is still easily the best single from this era so far tho (although I do like 'My Own Soul's Warning' a fair amount too)

Early reviews are starting to come out, and I'm incredibly excited for 'My God'! The Sunday Times wrote about it:

 

There is a new song by the Killers called My God that is so overblown, it reminds you how both ridiculous and exhilarating big rock music can be. It is a mode that suits this band well. Their best-known songs, Mr Brightside and Human, occupy territory between the absurd and absolutely brilliant, and My God is no different. Towards its end, the cult American singer Weyes Blood coos a gorgeous bridge, before the whole thing climaxes in a tumult of choirs and drums, with the frontman, Brandon Flowers, chanting at peak preacher range. It is fabulous.
Weyes Blood is an interesting choice of collaborator, looking forward to hearing that song! (Not an artist I have heard much from but I have been meaning to get into her stuff more as the BJSC entry 'Movies' was an excellent song and her album got pretty much blanket positive reception)
Probably my least favourite so far but still a strong 8/10!

opposite for me, Dying Breed is what I'd like the Killers to sound all the time, more bold and risky

a million times better than Caution

Ronnie has confirmed that Dave Keuning will return to the band for their next album! He's been on a break since WW and ITM will be their first album without him.
