The Killers: Battle Born
Oct 16th, 2012 by dcronin
“The great open secret about the Killers is that they only make sense when they operate on a grand scale. Everything they do is outsized; their anthems are created for fathomless stadiums, a character quirk they’ve grown into over the years as they’ve gone from scrappy wannabes fighting their way out of Las Vegas to the international superstars they’ve longed to be….And Battle Born is indeed a dazzling spectacle, an inversion of the blueprint handed down from 2008′s Day & Age, where the band emphasizes songs over sound.” –All Music Guide
