The Killers have ditched the disco and returned to widescreen, wind-machine Americana, but with salvos as breast-beating as "What are you afraid of/ And what are you made of?" and excesses as egregious as the half-spoken echoes of Battle Born, the cheese is amped so far that what this really sounds like is the soundtrack to some lost 90s Disney film. In fact, frontman Brandon Flowers has admitted to mining Elton Lion King John, or rather his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, for tips on creating "epic" tracks. The lumbering, laboured emoting of the ballad Here with Me confirms that the harder they strain for grandiloquence, the more ridiculous the Killers sound.
