Shot at the Night -- The Killers

Today, The Killers release their first greatest hits album, called Direct Hits. It features 13 songs from their previous four albums as well as two new songs, "Shot at the Night" which was produced by M83 frontman Anthony Gonzalez and "Just Another Girl."

"Shot at the Night" is The Killers submission to any John Hughes movie. Producers can play a big part in the tint of songs and in this song, you can hear a lot of the ambient synths and drums Gonzalez frequently uses. It has a booming chorus, Phil Collins-esque '80s drums, and tone setting synths. Brandon Flowers vocals are as strong as ever. "Shot at the Night" is definitely not the guitar oriented rock you sometimes associate with The Killers in their songs like "When You Were Young."

But seriously, can't stop picturing a teenage girl emotionally dancing in an empty high school gym with this song booming in the background. Better late than never--this song is awesome.
