Thanks! I think I'll use it a little closer to release though.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Speaking of "Flamingo", every Killers fan should listen to it. It's not perfect but it has quite a few good songs.

Without a doubt, I was about to list some favorites off the album, but I was about to list over half of it. Just listen to it, it's good stuff, and I think lyrically is better than some of the Killers stuff.

I think "On The Floor" might be my favorite, but it's pretty tough to choose just one.

I hate, hate this little thing Brandon does with his voice when he sings: "Teenage rush" and "But that ain't much". Runaways was ok, not anywhere near their best ones.

Didn't know there was an OT for the new album. Bueno.

Runaways is such a good song. I can't stop listening to it. It got me back to listening to their previous albums.

Based on the three tracks I've heard (Runaways, Miss Atomic Bomb and Flesh And Bone)...... this is going to blow away their three previous albums.

I wouldn't say that, but it's very very encouraging.

I only liked 3 songs TOTAL on Day And Age. I've only heard 3 songs off Battle Born so far.

At the very least, Battle Born will be better than Day And Age. At the very least.

Day and Age basically turned to shit after the first three songs.

This will have to be pretty damn special to beat Hot Fuss as a cohesive, solid album, though.

The entirety of Day & Age sounds much better live.

Whenever I want to listen to some of it's track, I just go for the Live from the Royal Albert Hall version.

True. Which is why I just said "based on these three songs" ;)

Obviously if the rest of the album is Day And Age calibre, then it won't top Hot Fuss or even Sam's Town. But I'm not worried about the rest of the album. I think these guys have really grown and matured musically.

Certainly, I get the impression that the break was a really good creative boost for the band.

Hell, even their Christmas singles got better in that time period.
 
I guess I didn't notice that synth part when I saw them live.

Damn you Solo, I want that deluxe edition. I'm sure I could get the red vinyl at my record store...right?

Human is fricking awesome, and although it's not quite as relistenable as the other Killers greats Dustland Fairytale is very underrated as well.

Need to relisten to the rest, been too long. I think I'll blast all four previous albums in the days leading up to BB's release.
