“Battle Born” has an extra American rock flare

You may have heard of “Runaways,” the newest single from The Killers, yet that’s only a snippet from their most recent album, Battle Born.

Their newest album has the same sound as one of their previous albums with an American rock flare to it. As it is their fourth album, fans expected meaningful lyrics, pounding drums, and a track list they wouldn’t get tired of listening to. The Killers delivered in all of these categories, leaving their listeners extremely pleased.

Lead singer Brandon Flowers sings, “What are you made of?” letting his admirers interpret the lyrics while listening to the catchy beat of the drums.

The Killers threw in a track, “Miss Atomic Bomb,” which is a historic reference to their past studio albums. It was inspired by Sir Elton John after his advice to name the titles before writing the lyrics of a song. Not only do they have electronic, upbeat songs such as “The Rising Tide” and “A Matter of Time,” but they also deliver with smooth, catchy songs like, “Here With Me” and “Be Still.”

When I first heard that The Killers were coming out with their fourth album, I was a bit apprehensive on whether or not they would be able to convey an album that attracted all types of listeners. But I can now say that with their variety of tracks, there is a song that everyone can enjoy or relate to.
