Killers' New Song & Greatest Hits

Due to the lack of great success on their last album (I assume), the Killers have decided to release a greatest hits' compilation called Direct Hits on November 11th. It even features two new tracks (a bit presumptious on their side- what if like the singles on the last album, they are in fact not hits?) called "Just Another Girl" and "Shot at the Night," the latter of which is the first single and can be heard below.

The Killers have had four studio albums to date. Hot Fuss was a great success in 2004, brining the world their favourite Killers' tunes including "Somebody Told Me," "Smile Like You Mean It" and "Mr. Brightside." Sam's Town followed this up in 2006 with "When You Were Young" and "Read My Mind" amongst others, Day & Age had "Human" in 2008 and last year, they released Battle Born after a hiatus, from which "Runaways" and "Miss Atomic Bomb" were released. The album features 15 tracks:

Mr Brightside
Somebody Told Me
Smile Like You Mean It
All  These Things That I’ve Done
When You Were Young
Read My Mind
For  Reasons Unknown
Human
Spaceman
A Dustland Fairytale
Runaways
Miss Atomic Bomb
The Way It Was
Shot At The Night
Just Another Girl

For the chronological order which incidentally also places their more popular to least popular material in order, we thank the Killers. Who's kidding though- lacklustre Brandon Flowers' solo album aside, there are at least seven tracks here everyone will know. On the Deluxe Version, you will also find "Mr. Brightside" (demo), "When You Were Young" (Calvin Harris remix) and a track called "Be Still," but still no "Here With Me," "Bones" or "The World We Live In." Here's that new song:

So Killers' fans, what did you think? Is it perhaps time for Brandon Flowers to pack it up and get working on Flamingo 2? Or are the Killers as great as they ever were and should release a new album next year? Please comment below.
