Killer Tracks
NME gets an exclusive listen to the new album's finished songs
Why Do I Keep Counting?
Concerned with Brandon's fear of flying, it's a sprawling mini-epic, reminiscent of Bowie as much as Springsteen, opening with a twinkly synth part and culminating in the soaring climax of, "If I only knew the answer, I wouldn't be bothering you".
BonesPossible first single, with a definite Queen flavour running through it. Very catchy, summery feel, with Brandon saucily urging us to, "Feel my bones/It's only natural". Topped off by a brass section that'll sound fantastic at next year's festivals.
When You Were Young
The album's most Springsteen-esque moment, with lyrics relating to "A beautiful boy/He doesn't look a thing like Jesus but he talks like a gentleman was supposed to/When you were young". Another possible single.
Uncle Johnny Did Cocaine
The closest thing to 'classic' Killers, it's based around a relentless dark and twisted guitar riff, and almost sounds like '70s-era Iggy Pop. "My appetite ain't got no heart", sings Brandon, "I feel a burning in my body core".
Read My Mind
Almost unrecognizable as The Killers, this is a slow, stately '80s mega-ballad, with Brandon delivering an impassioned vocal ("I never really gave up, I never once said die/I never wanted more than anybody else, can you read my mind?") - possibly his best to date. Definitely an anthem in waiting.
Sam's Town
A raucous guitar intro gives way to a synth-heavy verse, before settling into a big singalong mantra ("I see London, I see Sam's Town/It takes my hand and lets my hair town') at the end. It's a nastier-sounding song than the others, but undeniably catchy. Our ears may have deceived us, but we're sure there's a violin in there somwhere, too. [/quote]
