The thread hadn't been bumped in awhile, which is around the sametime I stopped listening to this album back to back lol

I stopped doing the same so I wouldn't get tired of it. I've already listened to it more than Hot Fuss and Sawdust, according to my last fm. :lol

The front of the CD was plastered with a "Featuring RUNAWAYS, MISS ATOMIC BOMB, FLESH AND BONE and HERE WITH ME" sticker, so it's a fair assumption to say that they might be the singles.

Which sucks, because The Way It Was is my track of the year.

I'm starting to put "Matter of Time" on the upper echelon of this album. I just love how it explodes

Yeah. It's growing on me. I liked it before but it's really great now. "I can't put out the fire I got a book of matches in my hand" is a great line.

I initially liked Here With Me a lot then soured on it and now it's back in my good graces. Top 4 are still FAB, MAB, TWIW and CMH.

I think this is their best album now too.

my itunes has this album clocked at 35 plays even....The way it was is up to 60. While I don't particularly pay attention to any song past track 7, those first 7 tracks are addictive as hell. Great songs.

Have really started to like the song, Battle Born, really great way to close out the album. It builds up really well and just has some fantastic energy to it.

You don't pay attention to any song past track 7 because track 8 is crap. I'm loving the last half of the album as well. First 7 and Last 7 are great. Track 8 blows.

Song that sounds a lot better from the first few listens is Be Still. It's deeper than I gave it credit for.

Really love this album. My favorites are Runaway, Miss Atomic Bomb, Deadlines & Commitments, Heart of a Girl and Battle Born. I like them all though. Only one that I dislike is Rising Tide.

lol the interview they had at the Colbert Report was funny.

It sucks that they are performing a cut version of MAB, they did the same at Jimmy Kimmel too. :/

You must not be listening to the right radio stations

With the exception of Mr.Brightside, The Killers are just rock radio staples than top 40 ones

I know BB's cover art is trying to be midwestern-generic on purpose, but that still doesn't help its case.

What?! It's just electronic garbage.

It's sublime. Similar to du Cont's other remixes but still a very good song. A very unique take on the original song, you'd never get them confused.

Nothing like the horribly boring MAB remix you love that's literally the original song with a beat on top.

I don't really like any remixes. Sure, I prefer the Runaways one to FnB, both they are both just electronic wank.
