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

Oh right yeah, Runaways. That remix is just boring.

Some of the Killers's stuff is electronic wank, careful Solo. :p

Mr Brightside had a good remix on Sawdust.

Mr. Brightside Lu Cont remix might be the best remix ever.

I like his Human one too.

I don't like the Flesh and Bone remix either. It sounds pretty bad. Electronic garbage is actually an accurate description of what it sounds like.

I think it sounds magical and pretty.

The opening starts so deliberately paced... then the claps start and I can't stop moving to the music.

Battle Born's a little weird.

Just sort of lacks that consistency throughout the album that all the others have.

"Flesh and Bone" and "Runaways" is a great one two punch. But I'm not getting the love for "The way it was" that you guys are. "Here with Me" and "Miss atomic bomb" are the only other great tracks on the album i feel.

The rest isn't bad, it's just sort of, samey..... not in a good way, but it's not terrible as well.

Bought it as soon as it came out but i haven't been listening to it a ton.

I don't know. Still i'd rather take some Killers over no Killers

Oh I'm sorry, was that you? :p

:lol no, unfortunately.

But I agree. And The Way It Was has been the song I've listened to the most this past week. I'm loving it more and more.

Flesh & Bone is still my most played, and it has been since release.

I've warmed up to Battle Born. I don't like more than a few parts of the song, including most of the lyrics, but the refrain is great and the guitar parts are too good to ignore.

Like, some of it is Brandon talking to someone, other parts are just flowery language... Feels like it's trying to tell a story, but then it isn't... hard to follow.

alright... after a lot of time with the album, i can say that i agree with your top five there. great fucking songs. where we differ is that i'd put everything else in the "ho hum" category.
