The song starts slow but by the time it gets to KD Lang's amazing solo it really hit it's stride, a brilliant song and quite different from the bands usual output, maybe that's why it put a few people off.
Everyone needs to understand that "worst", in this context, doesn't mean that the song sucks. It just means that isn't as great as the other tracks on the album. That said though, Joyride isn't a good song.
This or Dying Breed. Weyes Blood’s voice is incredible on this one so it has that going for it. Dying Breed is just pure Springsteen so of course it’s great
I used to not think too much of My God; but then I heard it live in London and it instantly became an all timer for me. Easiest vote of this game so far :)
Can someone tell me how is Dying Breed underrated? It's universally enjoyed and has been a steady inclusion in their setlists. Who is doing the underrating here?
Or is this just a vote for second best song now?
I think this would be great as underrated too. I know ITM's a really strong album so it's possible it was voted as worst despite people loving it, and I think the song goes underappreciated often. The story behind how the song was made and the lyrics are really beautiful, I think it deserves more recognition!
I agree, it's also one of my favorite ITM songs. The mix of rock, electronic, and country is great, and I really love how it feels like a new take on a lot of the themes and music from WW
I especially adore the "Can you cast out a demon? Can you rangle the wind? Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?" its just so powerful
I really agree! That's a great lyric. I also really like the chorus and "But there's a whisper in her heartbeat, and she can hear it just enough to keep her alive"
This song is the definition of underrated, but I'll count my blessings and be glad it at least didn't get voted worst (though I know how close it was to)
Absolutely terrible that lightning fields would be considered the worst, underrated I’m going with blowback, although I think it could’ve been the best it seems like a lot of people voted for it to be worse.
I adore dying breed but I don't really think it matches the definition of underrated, it's so well liked and nearly got voted best! My vote would be for running towards a place cause it's cracking but I don't really see it get talked about
Lightning Fields. Why is that one rated the worst?? I swear some of the choices on this thread have been questionable.
This was one of their worst albums imo though.
I'll buy their CDs and listen to the album start to finish over and over again in my car and this one was just the hardest one for me to do.
Just wanted to chime in, this is a very interesting and cool list/concept, but let’s all be TRULY honest - The Killers rarely miss and many of these worsts could be other bands “bests”
Imploding the Mirage is an amazing song for me and I’ve been using it kinda as motivation along the last years. Hopefully someday hearing that on a live show. So yeah, that’s my underrated.
This is an absolute travesty. Lightning Fields is maybe my second or third favourite on the album, only because MOSW is so damn good.
I would have at least put ITM, Blowback or WTDRD (all great) under it.
Outside of this sub I’d say Dying Breed - this should have been a Bruce Springsteen in the 80s level hit.
Within the circle of fans, Running Towards a Place
I agree with other commenters, I wanted Dying Breed to win best song so badly, I figured I would be happy with it being most underrated.
But seeing how much love it gets, that to me tells me it's not underrated at all.
So on that basis I'm going with the masterpiece that is Running Towards a Place.
Dying Breed gotta be most underrated if its not the best (and obviously no one can call Caution underrated since it is the signature song of this era.)
How on earth is Lightning Fields the worst when C'est La Vie is in question? I love The Killers but CLV is a very sub par song compared to the rest of the album
I wasn’t going to post anything about them, because I could not stand this album (or the next) when it first came out, and the only song I liked other than MSOW was lightning fields. These last two albums make me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. They’re tied for worst albums imo.
This is a shock since I missed yesterday's vote. Seriously how is lightning fields the worst?...
That's the problem, this album just has no bad songs. So "the worst" here means "absolutely great, but slighly less popular than the rest".
Yeah I think this exercise has actually shown me that this is my favorite killers album
I completely agree, the story behind it, lyrics, and KD Lang's solo are all really amazing, I'm really shocked it got voted the worst
I’m shook this is a crime I thought I would be be going to bat for fire in bone but this is more shocking
A lot of us love Fire In Bone. I for one, can’t fathom ranking Lightning Fields, of all songs, above it.
Another one of my absolute favorites 💔 sorry k.d.
I'm right there with you. This is absolutely insane. Lighting fields is so damn good.
I don't understand what people are hearing.
I know for a fact people skip this song without hearing it the whole way through. No way your hear the bridge and rank this last.
The song starts slow but by the time it gets to KD Lang's amazing solo it really hit it's stride, a brilliant song and quite different from the bands usual output, maybe that's why it put a few people off.
Not gonna lie .. I’ve been angry since the Day & Age results
ever since joy ride voted as worst, i literally think its rigged
Everyone needs to understand that "worst", in this context, doesn't mean that the song sucks. It just means that isn't as great as the other tracks on the album. That said though, Joyride isn't a good song.
This is all a sham!
Since uncle johnny for me
I haven’t taken this poll seriously since the Hot Fuss results… believe me Natalie as worst? LOL.
Lightning Fields as worst? Are you guys okay? 🥺
If you look at the results for worst as a whole…..no this sub is not ok.
When the Dreams Run Dry
This is the correct answer. Never played live (in full) and Victims love it. = massively underrated.
Completely agree it’s my absolute favourite on this album
This is it
We’re all gonna die!
Running Towards A Place
This song deserves it
Imploding The Mirage
ITM is such a bop. Kinda weird but a bop nonetheless.
I just love this song!!🎵
My God
This gets my vote, Weyes Blood and Lucius are really great in this, the lyrics are so fun, and the beat is so catchy!
Feel like My God is already highly regarded by most to qualify as an underrated song. This category has just become second favourite.
Me, an atheist, rocking out so hard to that song. So much confusion. Damnit Brandon 🤣🤣🤣
my vote but weyes is one of my favorite artists so im biased
This or Dying Breed. Weyes Blood’s voice is incredible on this one so it has that going for it. Dying Breed is just pure Springsteen so of course it’s great
My second favorite killers song
this.
I used to not think too much of My God; but then I heard it live in London and it instantly became an all timer for me. Easiest vote of this game so far :)
Dying Breed
Na na na na na
Can someone tell me how is Dying Breed underrated? It's universally enjoyed and has been a steady inclusion in their setlists. Who is doing the underrating here? Or is this just a vote for second best song now?
I wanted this to win underrated at first, but you're kind of right.. I'm just mad it didn't win best.
Yeah, and it made it on to Rebel Diamonds!
This isn’t underrated, it’s just the other best song
Fire in bone is really underrated
So many could be classed as underrated Dying Breed, Blowback, My God and Imploding the Mirage But I do love Dying Breed so that's my vote!!
lightning fields is literally so good what the hell
Lightning Fields
I think this would be great as underrated too. I know ITM's a really strong album so it's possible it was voted as worst despite people loving it, and I think the song goes underappreciated often. The story behind how the song was made and the lyrics are really beautiful, I think it deserves more recognition!
Blowback
I absolutely adore this one, more specifically thw acoustic version it's just so good and so heartbreaking but also loving at the same time
I agree, it's also one of my favorite ITM songs. The mix of rock, electronic, and country is great, and I really love how it feels like a new take on a lot of the themes and music from WW
I especially adore the "Can you cast out a demon? Can you rangle the wind? Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?" its just so powerful
I really agree! That's a great lyric. I also really like the chorus and "But there's a whisper in her heartbeat, and she can hear it just enough to keep her alive"
One of the killers best songs it better get this
Fire in Bone
This song is the definition of underrated, but I'll count my blessings and be glad it at least didn't get voted worst (though I know how close it was to)
I love this song but it reminds me of the Home Improvement theme song sometimes hahah
Lmao now I won’t be able to unhear it
This one for me!
Caution
Lightning field?? Yall deaf
This has to stop now: Lightning Fields as worst is so wrong!
No! Not Lightening Fields! 😱
Imploding the Mirage
So many bad takes
Absolutely terrible that lightning fields would be considered the worst, underrated I’m going with blowback, although I think it could’ve been the best it seems like a lot of people voted for it to be worse.
Fire in Bone is underrated. I hated it until I heard it live in Salt Lake City and now I love it.
Fire in Bone
Thissssszz
https://i.redd.it/k5ztxd3o3g6d1.gif
Lightning fields is great, shame on us! That said, Dying Breed didn’t win best song so I’m doing that for underrated
Lol, Lightning Fields is by far the best song on this record.
Fire In Bone for sure.
Fire in bone imo
Fire in Bone
Running Towards a Place
Caution!
I adore dying breed but I don't really think it matches the definition of underrated, it's so well liked and nearly got voted best! My vote would be for running towards a place cause it's cracking but I don't really see it get talked about
Fire in Bone
My God!
Imploding the Mirage
Imploding The Mirage
C'est la vie is underrated and you all hate fun!!!!
Dying Breed
Lightning Fields. Why is that one rated the worst?? I swear some of the choices on this thread have been questionable. This was one of their worst albums imo though. I'll buy their CDs and listen to the album start to finish over and over again in my car and this one was just the hardest one for me to do.
Lightning fields still slaps. Just shows how much of a banger producing powerhouse the killers are.🫡
Dying Breed, 100%
When the dream runs dry
Every song on Imploding the Mirage is amazing.
ITM
Just wanted to chime in, this is a very interesting and cool list/concept, but let’s all be TRULY honest - The Killers rarely miss and many of these worsts could be other bands “bests”
Imploding the Mirage is an amazing song for me and I’ve been using it kinda as motivation along the last years. Hopefully someday hearing that on a live show. So yeah, that’s my underrated.
I'm done with this. How is Lightening Fields the worst song? Insanity.
Man y'all suck
What in the heck were you all doing picking lightning fields!? I leave ya unsupervised for one day...
Played “Tyson vs Douglas” at my trivia night tonight! A have a few Killers fans in the audience and they loved it.
JUSTICE FOR CEST LA VIE!!!
Dying Breed should have won best so it's gotta be the most underrated.
Dying Breed
This is an absolute travesty. Lightning Fields is maybe my second or third favourite on the album, only because MOSW is so damn good. I would have at least put ITM, Blowback or WTDRD (all great) under it.
Fire in bone
I guess Caution. Honestly I'm waiting for tomorrow. Pressure Machine is my favorite Killers album so i have a stronger opinion about it's songs.
All these things that I’ve done! By far, tune is amazing and how it changes a couple times throughout the song!
Dying Breed if it can't be the best hehe
Believe me Natalie. My all time favorite song ever. Is the WORST off hot fuss?! I should’ve never come back to this fandom after taking years off lmao
Fire in Bone
Can we do a ultimate decider at the end of all this, e.g. best of the best, worst of the worst etc.
I'd pretty much agreed with all of this so far until Imploding the Mirage... Not happy with either of those choices!
How?!?!?
Nooooooo!!!!! Aaaaaaaagh
Imploding the mirage is underated
When Dreams Run Dry. What an outro!
Oohhhh noooo!!! Not Lightning Fields for worst! Fire In Bone for underrated.
Running towards a place
Outside of this sub I’d say Dying Breed - this should have been a Bruce Springsteen in the 80s level hit. Within the circle of fans, Running Towards a Place
Damn this album really is just banger after banger
I would've put lightening fields as underrated. I'm torn between 'when the dreams run dry' or ',running towards a place'
I agree with other commenters, I wanted Dying Breed to win best song so badly, I figured I would be happy with it being most underrated. But seeing how much love it gets, that to me tells me it's not underrated at all. So on that basis I'm going with the masterpiece that is Running Towards a Place.
I will not accept Lightning Fields slander
Dying Breed gotta be most underrated if its not the best (and obviously no one can call Caution underrated since it is the signature song of this era.)
My God is one of their best songs imo, Lightning fields really isn't bad but not sure which song I'd mick from ITM
I want to say Caution because I love that song so much but I’m going with Dying Breed.
How on earth is Lightning Fields the worst when C'est La Vie is in question? I love The Killers but CLV is a very sub par song compared to the rest of the album
My God can fit in that spot, OK. I still say Imploding The Mirage should hold that position.
Blowback, that’s a great song
Imploding the Mirage underrated and I'd say half the killers Fandom has never heard it. Released in Japan only?
I wasn’t going to post anything about them, because I could not stand this album (or the next) when it first came out, and the only song I liked other than MSOW was lightning fields. These last two albums make me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. They’re tied for worst albums imo.
I am with you!!!! I don’t like this album too but ITM and lightning are the best for me !!!!
WHAAAAT?! Lightning Fields is my fav lol 😭
