Bonus Feature: CD

Devoid of liner notes, images, or special thanks, The Killer's Bonus Trax CD is a genuine treat. In limited release, courtesy of Stormtrance, consider yourself lucky to get a copy of this collection of B-sides, covers, collaborations, and the like.

Simple handwritten track titles belie an explosive blend of tunes. Although I'm partial to Flowers and Co cover of the Bright Eyes song Four Winds--there's so much more here. Tidal Wave is a gentle caress that belongs on Day and Age. Forget About What I Said is a hook-filled, radio-friendly track that won't see the light of day that throws back to Hot Fuzz.

Three holiday tracks are smashed in the middle of the 14 song mix. Joseph, Better You Than Me features Elton John and Neil Tennant. Beautifully rendered, the song highlights gorgeous vocals from all three. This holiday single was released last year continuing the tradition of digital downloads from the band. Fans may remember proceeds benefited Bono's Project Red campaign.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but there's not a bad song on the disc. Tell Me It's Not Over Yet is another favorite. The origins of this piece are unknown {Stormtrance, jump in}, but it is a wonderfully danceable and wickedly singable track.

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get better, The Killer's whip out Replaceable {see Sam's Town} and Waiting for Love which contains a danceable wall of sound.

Rounding out the disc is Soft Surrender and Desperate. With the synth wailing and grooving bass, I dare you not to move.

The Killer's Bonus Trax CD is a must own for fans of the band. Special thanks to Stormtrance!!
