It has felt like forever since The Killers released their last album “Day and Age” which was heavily criticised as it was so different from the previous albums, but now they are back. This time with a new single called “Runaways” which comes from the hugely-anticipated album “Battle Born”. Oh haven’t they just returned to their best! This sounds similar to their earlier albums, yet unique enough to avoid the label “unoriginal”. At the beginning the song slowly builds up until it reaches a huge climax with a clash of drums and guitars together making a beautiful sound which can only be described as 80s rock. “Runaways” takes a while for most listeners to find it catchy, but it shows The Killers are finally back to their best, which they haven’t been for 6 long years. If the album is anything like this song, Battle Born will be a great album which I cannot wait for. They are back.
Rating:9/10
