Had to purchase Battle Born on vinyl today. This is my first Killers album on vinyl. Found the Double LP in red with the 20 page booklet on Poshmark for $13!!!
Yeah. It was used but looked like it was in great condition. Even had the plastic/stickers. Poshmark is social marketplace. Mainly for clothing/shoes, but there’s other stuff on there too. I’ve bought shoes from there before but when I searched for the vinyl on google, an ad for the Poshmark posting popped up.
I found Battle Born for half off at my local record store on Black Friday a few years ago. I think the sticker price was $22, so I got it for $11. That was an awesome find.
This place always has awesome half-off bins on Black Friday. I make a point of stopping in every year.
In for it. Last album was good but it didn't stand the test of time for me. There's a handful of very good songs on it. Since Wonderful, Battle Born has been my go to for these guys.
I only end up feeling like WW is a little weak because I know what these guys are capable of. I really like "Rut", "Life To Come", "Some Kind of Love" and "Money On Straight" a lot. Title track, "Run For Cover", "Tyson vs. Douglas" and "Out of my Mind" are all pretty good too. "The Calling" is a little bit of an outlier but I think it's fun. The bummers for me are that I think the closer is pretty terrible despite that sweet, sweet Knopfler guitar, and "The Man" not cutting the mustard as a Killers single. Its okay musically, but the lyrics are odd and they usually have such fantastic singles.
