The Killers - Imploding the Mirage (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 33

The unsung hero on Battle Born is "Here with Me." It's not particularly original but "don't want your picture / on my cell phone / I want you here with me" is a chorus for the ages.

 

Do yourself a favor and don’t scroll back a couple of pages.

 

i like the way this person thinks

 

The Nokia ages, maybe

 

that's a pretty good burn

 

Yeah the production on Battle Born doesn’t do a lot of those songs any favors from my perspective. Then again, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like “Lightning Fields” at all without the atmosphere it has.

 

Finally got around to this and it's great, they pull off the synth pop sound so fucking well. Opening track is probably my favorite but Caution and My God are great too, among others

I'd definitely put this in the top half of their discography I think, though Hot Fuss and Sam's Town will always be 1 and 2 for me

 

"Makin' out, we got the radio on!"

It's so cheesy and yet so good at the same time. Definitely a top song on that album.

 

I agree on all of those songs. What about "Out of my Mind"? I haven't heard much commentary on that song. It's weirdly one that I find myself going back to often from WW. I LOVE verse 2:

"I stormed the gates of Graceland
To make you realize
Went back to back with Springsteen
You turned and rolled your eyes
So I told you about McCartney
That's a heavy name to drop
You said you don't need confirmation
But I don't know if I can stop

Cause I can't get you out of my mind!"

 

It’s one my favorites from WW. In addition to the lyrics you cited, I love the locked up synth lead/cymbals hits in the post chorus and that ever-ascending octave synth during the “oh we’re falling” section.

 

Yeah, that’s really nice. Honestly it’s an OK song, but I find the chorus itself a bit of a non-event

 

This album really hit this weekend.

The most Killers-y Killers album in some time

 

"Dying Breed" has officially ascended into one of my favorite categories of songs, which is the "I have to play this twice in a row when I listen to the album" tier.

 

My favourite from the record!

 

It’s in a dead heat with “Caution” for me. Hard to tell which I like more right now, since I’ve had one for almost six months and the other for just a few weeks.

 

Ya'll are nuts. Best track is My Own Soul's Warning by a country mile.

 

Great fucking song.

I can’t pick a favorite though.

 

Caution and Warning are neck and neck for me until that solo in Caution gives it the edge. Numbers 4 and 5 overall Killers songs for me.

 

You're all wrong; it's actually My God

 

It’s actually when the dreams run dry with my god in a very close second.

 

"My God" is an utterly ridiculous song. I love it

 

Yep
