The Killers - Day And Age

[bono_man2002]

Ok, this is probably old news for some, but In my bordem at work this morning I stumbled across this:

The Return of The Killers
by Paul Cashmere - August 8 2008


The third album for The Killers will be called ‘Day and Age’.


The band has been working on the album with producer Stuart Price (aka The Thin White Duke). Price worked with The Killers on their two previous albums and also wrote the hits ‘Jump’ and ‘Hung Up’ with Madonna.

David Bowie’s ‘Drive-In Saturday’ and Roy Orbison’s ‘I Drove All Night’ inspired one of the songs, titled ‘Tidal Wave’. Their last album came after singer Brendan Flowers was listening a lot to the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

The Killers will road-test some of the new material later this month at the Reading and Leeds festivals

Its due in November. What A month that is going to be.

Indeed!

I didn't catch them unveiling a name! God, can't wait for this album, the end of this year is fantastic on SO many levels!

 

[corianderstem]

SWEET. I look forward to it.

 

[BoMac]

I saw them live earlier this month and they played one or two new tracks and they were great. One of those tracks was "Spaceman" and it was very good.

I've only recently started getting into The Killers. I love the first 2 albums, I hope this one is as well. I that they're working with Stuart Price.

When he turns his camera on the crowd I'm in there somewhere I just can't pinpoint it. I was right behind this guy but a little to his left, I think.

I've warmed up to them some since the last album. Will be interested to see if I like the new one.

 

[phanan]

I was never able to really like the last album. I liked about half of it then, and that's pretty much the way I feel about it now.

Personally, I LOVE Sam's Town. I like Hot Fuss, but I dunno Hot Fuss looses me after All These Things I've Done, its not that the second half is bad, its still good, I just don't warm to it like the first half.

Sam's Town I can listen to all day!

I kinda feel exactly the same way, though I mean, I do like the second half of Hot Fuss as well, but aside from Change Your Mind, none of the rest are favorites

 

[Zoots]

Hot Fuss was fucking delicious! Sam's Town was okay but whatsisname's vocals got really annoying on several tracks. Hope the new one is good!

 

[bono_man2002]

but whatsisname's vocals

 

[Zoots]

Haha I seriously forgot! Doh!

Now I remember.

 

[FitzChivalry]

. . . but whatsisname's vocals . . .

Ummm, his official name is: Brandon F***ING HOT & BEAUTIFUL & GORGEOUS Flowers.

You can quote me on that.

I feel exactly the same way. I LOOOOOVE "Hot Fuss" though; start to finish it is amazingly good!

I hope this new album redeems them from their sophmore slump.

new Killers!

 

[LemonMelon]

Hot Fuss

Sam's Town

New album? Well, I hope it's good.

 

[Final Straw]

Just saw them last night in Marlay Park. Unbelievable. One of the best concert's I've ever been too. Can't wait for a new album.

And I prefer Sam's Town 10 times over to Hot Fuss.

 

[powerhour24]

I don't like either album as a whole, but they each have tracks I really love...maybe this time they can fully impress me, but I don't have huge expectations.

 

[xaviMF22]

I loved Sam's town

so I'm

 

[LMP]

Cool.

Sam's Town has its moments, but otherwise it was a pretty disappointing album. Hot Fuss was just fucking awesome... hopefully the new one's more like the latter than the former.

I agree with every word in this post

I agree with every word in this post

As do I.

 

[LMP]

I agree with every word in this post

When You Were Young
This River Is Wild
Read My Mind (the Duran Duran-esque and Springsteen-esque mixes)

Are my only keepers from that album.

Yeah, this I will have to disagree with. Something about Read My Mind really grates on me. Probably because of I've heard songs like it thousands of times before, and Flowers' voice sounds terrible.

I guess my keepers would be:

Sam's Town
When You Were Young
Bling (Confessions Of A King)
Bones

If any of the other songs were wiped from existence, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Standouts:
Sam's Town
When You Were Young
Read My Mind
The River Is Wild
