Track of the Day: The Rising Tide - The Killers


If there is one song on The Killers' latest album Battle Born that indicates a return to their former sounds pre-Day & Age, then 'The Rising Tide' is surely it.  Opening with an impressive 40 second electro infused intro that wouldn't sound out of place on debut Hot Fuss, the track then evolves into a surge of rocking guitars, powerful vocals and atmospheric lyrics, reminiscent of the Springsteen influence that was ever so present on 2006's Sam's Town.  'The Rising Tide' has all the qualities of a future single, and is one of the standout tracks on what is admittedly a grower of an album.
