So close to Imploding the Mirage, which may be my favorite Killers album...hmm...I hope its quality. Exciting stuff.
Seriously one of their best albums.
I can't wait to see them live again.
Can't wait.
I'm generally pretty skeptical of those "part 2" albums that always just seem to have leftovers from the previous album but, like, they didn't have to spend time touring, right? And it's been a year.
Big Killers fan and Imploding the Mirage was a big return to form for them.
I hope this keeps with the Day & Age and Imploding the Mirage styles. Killers THRIVE when their songs are more upbeat.

ITM was such a blessing mid pandemic last year. This seems like it's going for bleaker themes so it'll be interesting to hear. It's so soon!
I figured that it would be better to post this in a new thread instead of bumping the old Imploding the Mirage one. And, as the title says, the Killers are releasing their next album on August 13, 2021. Apparently, Phoebe Bridgers will be featuring in one of the tracks and the whole album is going to be 11 tracks long with 5 songs that are going to be over 5 minutes long.
I´m going to post the full press release as there's some interesting information about the album's inspiration there.

Imploding the Mirage was its best work for me since Sam's Town.
Can't wait to see how this pans out.

Revealed via the album cover on social media. After Imploding The Mirage, I hope it's a similar swing upward in quality after those rough years.

My bad. I did glance at the search results but didn't see it come up.Already a thread:

Looks like tickets for their Imploding the Mirage tour (in 2022) are going on sale soon. Definitely looking forward to seeing them live again - and hey with 2 new records' worth of material to pull from.
Kicking out another album so soon, what a treat! I was only hot on about half of Imploding the Mirage though. Leaned a bit heavy on spirituality, and there wasn't a lot of variance in song style. We'll see how this is.
That sounds interesting, but, without having heard a single song off it, I wonder if this might have been better suited as a solo Flowers album instead 🤔
Yeah fr, I don't come to the killers for slow and long rock songs
to be fair, Imploding the Mirage sounded closer to a Flowers solo album at its poppiest moments too.
Apparently the band was sending out concert presale codes to a random number of people. If anyone here happened to get one and doesn't want it, I'd love a PM
Some folks from Reddit have compiled some of the teasers the band has shared throughout the year in a short video, and it does sound like it's going to be a slower record.
From "In The Car Outside" -
Looking forward to this, but... I'm not immediately loving the small snippets we've heard so far, unlike Imploding the Mirage where I was on board with nearly everything.

Wow. Love that these guys keeping going at it. Exploding the Mirage was not my favorite but definitely kept up the quality. May have to give it a relisten.
All their shit is so good. Fuck people forget about Battleborn and nearly every track on that album is fucking 10/10. A lot of bands can't measure up to their worst albums

My copy arrived early in the mail today.
I am really digging it- t's different and sonically quieter than their usual stuff but still has that Killers sound to it. The mixture of quiet songs with more uptempo songs really shows the range of Flower's voice. The title track in particular gave me goose bumps when Flower's switches to a falsetto backed up with really lovely guitar and fiddle. The full version of In the Car Outside is the closest to what you would call a traditional Killers track and it has a really nice groove with some great guitar work from Keuning. Other tracks that I love from the first listen are West Hills, Runaway Horses and Cody.
The interviews that they have stiched between tracks really adds to the concept of exploring small town american life- it really works as an album that shouild be listened to as a whole rather than in pieces.
I think this is going to end up being a lot of people's favorite Killers album. It's a more mature sound, but unlike on Wonderful Wonderful it manages to pull it off.

I absolutely love Quiet Town with the harmonica sections and it's not often a song brings me close to tears but Flowers voice on Pressure Machine is simply beautiful.
He has one of, if not, the best voices in music today.
The album is fantastic, a massive change up from Imploding The Mirage and yet still that distinct Killers sound.
I can't wait to see them next year after the tour being delayed twice, I'm absolutely dying to have My Own Souls Warning performed live in front of me.

I'm hyped to see them live next year- MOSW and Dying Breed I imagine are going to be huge when they play them live. I'd love them to play In the Car Outside, Quiet Town and Pressure Machine from the new album live. I'd imagine Pressure Machine would be a difficult track to sing live night after night
agreed his voice is sublime on Pressure Machine - you can feel the emotion come from it. West Hills is a beast of a track- such an amazingly strong opener to the album.
Listening through for the first time this morning and enjoying it - only up to track three and have to call out that Terrible Thing gives me serious Nebraska-era Bruce vibes, love it
My initial reaction on first listen is a negative one. This seems to be a concept album and that concept is Depression in Small Town America. At a certain point it all just started bleeding together.
I'll give it at least one more listen to be fair, but right now I don't like it at all.
