August 28, 20204 yr This is a really solid album if not mindblowing - 'Caution' has remained my favourite song on it by some distance (I'm surprised that song has seemingly been so divisive) but I think every song on it is enjoyable, the 2 collaborations (especially 'Lightning Fields' as a few have already highlighted) are definitely the strongest of the album tracks along with 'Blowback'.

I like all those ones too but my favourite is still 'My Own Souls Warning' fantastic Sams Townesque rock!
August 29, 20204 yr I like all those ones too but my favourite is still 'My Own Souls Warning' fantastic Sams Townesque rock! Same :wub: The riff is just incredible - in fact speaking of Sams Town this album has quite a few throwbacks to their older material style wise
August 31, 20204 yr Number 8 debut in the US, its their lowest charting studio album but top 10 is still great.
August 31, 20204 yr Author From what I've heard it's the lack of tour bundles which they've previously had a lot of boosting their position
August 31, 20204 yr The Killers are bigger in the UK too aren’t they than what they are in the US. Although I am surprised they’re #8 I thought they’d manage top 5 at least.
August 31, 20204 yr 'Wonderful Wonderful' is their only #1 album in the US and that was entirely because of tour bundles, they're really not anywhere near as big a name there as they are here.
September 1, 20204 yr The tour bundles do really work for opening week in America, seeing they dont have this time they did ok. I think they were always bigger in the UK really and they were also huge here in Ireland.
September 1, 20204 yr Billboard 200 is garbage - getting views on a hit single on YouTube somehow equates to album sales! It makes a mockery of the album format letting hit singles be so easily translated into album sales. Shows the UK downweighting works better. They are #2 on the billboard album sales chart, which you could argue is a fairer comparison to their previous records that charted on sales alone pre Wonderful Wonderful.
September 4, 20204 yr Hopefully they can hold a top 7 in the uk today and the same or higher in Ireland.
September 4, 20204 yr I think bands likes this really do rely disproportionately on touring to promote and sell their new music, so they will suffer the most with the collapse of touring.
September 4, 20204 yr Author Well from the performance of this, not really Though of course it does help
September 4, 20204 yr Down to 7 but coming for silver next week. That’s not too bad, I’m sure it will climb back up when the Vinyl comes out next month.
