You can probably see me in some of those videos: 5 or 6 people back from the stage, on the left side. Such a good concert.

Wow, haha, that's fantastic! I didn't even know they were doing concerts again, I thought Brandon would be resting for a few days because of his throat.

Tegan and Sarah mentioned it, but honestly, he killed it. I couldn't tell that anything was wrong at all.

From Here On Out has really grown on me.

Also, Sam's Town > Battle Born > Hot Fuss > Day & Age. Final answer.

The Killers' set at Big Day Out was - pardon the pun - killer. Brilliant, they absolutely nailed it.

I've still only heard bits and pieces of Battle Born, I need to sit down and actually listen to the whole thing.

Man, this is one of those few albums where I can play every song and not get tired of it. Love this band!

Still have F&B, F&Br, BB, and FHoO on my playlist. 620 plays across those four songs.

I was kinda meh on A Matter of Time at first but I've come to realize how amazing the song really is. So good.

It's probably my most listened to track on the album.

It was a matter of time
Cant you see that it's tearing me up inside
Look what's laying at our feet
It's the wreckage of broken dreams and burned out halos
And it's here on our streets

So good.

Just for tickets to see them in May in HTX. Haven't seen them live since Sam's Town tour in 07. Really excited.

Have they been playing any covers regularly? I know they so occasionally in the past. I'd love to see them perform one.

Hype through the fucking roof. Ronnie's right, but I really hope that they aren't rushing anything.

Meanwhile, I fell back in love with Sawdust. Where the white boys dance, Move away, Glamorous indie rock and roll, Romeo and juliet, it's an amazing album. Nowadays I only listen to Runaways, MAB, BB and F&B from Battleborn, but I'm still convinced that's one of their best works.

I wonder what sound they'll have this time. Every album has been different.

However, going back in the studio so soon after BB may result in them having 2 albums sound the same for the first time.

I won't mind that. Not at all.

I really liked Battle Born, so it is good to see them going back.

I honestly think if they ditched some of the electronic stuff they could make something amazing and Meatloaf-esque. I wish they would try something more grand and orchestral because the singer's voice would really lend itself to something like that.

They'd blow my mind of they could somehow synthesize the new wave sound of Hot Fuss with the heartland rock of Sam's Town, the dance feel of Day & Age, and the arena rock of Battle Born.

Just imagine if Smile Like You Mean It, Read My Mind, Space Man and Flesh And Bone were all on the same album :eek:
