July 27, 20213 yr So what’s the strategy here then? Albums out in a few weeks and no singles or previews released at all yet?
July 28, 20213 yr Kinda crazy to make a pre-order with not even a buzz/grat single Guess they'er relying on loyal fans and that if you like the band, you're gonna buy this
July 28, 20213 yr So what’s the strategy here then? Albums out in a few weeks and no singles or previews released at all yet? Also of note all the new tour dates for *2022* are being branded the Imploding The Mirage tour not the pressure machine tour. They have also said they have been already working on the 8th album. So my take is this is a passion project concept album, apparently quieter and more restrained than usual and they are releasing it as a whole album for that reason - like AM did with Tranquility, possibly releasing a single only when the album debuts. Tbh it seems like a bonus lockdown album, which I think for that reason might be their most interesting yet. Commercially though don’t have high hopes with this strategy.
August 2, 20213 yr Author The song in this trailer is absolutely gorgeous, I am so hyped for this album! I feel like it'll be a less commercial release, but will be critically acclaimed. t6dfhRu4MfY
August 2, 20213 yr 'Runaway Horses' to be a cover of the Belinda Carlisle song please! Obvs it isn't lol but now I think about it I can totally hear Brandon doing that song, the chorus was made for him :lol: Anyway I'm here for this, whether it's a less commercial / concept album or whatever. It's always good to have new Killers on the horizon *.*
August 3, 20213 yr this is the tracklist by the way: 1. ‘West Hills’ 2. ‘Quiet Town’ 3. ‘Terrible Thing’ 4. ‘Cody’ 5. ‘Sleepwalker’ 6. ‘Runaway Horses’ (featuring Phoebe Bridgers) 7. ‘In The Car Outside’ 8. ‘In Another Life’ 9. ‘Desperate Things’ 10. ‘Pressure Machine’ 11. ‘The Getting By’
August 4, 20213 yr I thought they might have added the new version of dustland with Bruce Springsteen even as a bonus track.
August 4, 20213 yr Author I thought they might have added the new version of dustland with Bruce Springsteen even as a bonus track. It's just a new version of a song from Day & Age, it wouldn't make sense to be on here really!
August 10, 20213 yr Author 'In The Car Outside' preview! I can't believe it's just a few days until a whole new Killers album :cheer: View this post on Instagram
August 10, 20213 yr ‘In The Car Outside’ sounds good and does sound quite commercial from the preview so I’m surprised they didn’t release it before the album.
August 10, 20213 yr I was getting quite excited about this, and more so reading some of the positive things I've been hearing about it. Went to pre-order on Amazon and the CD is £14.99!! Is that how much a CD costs these days? Edited August 10, 20213 yr by CJK
August 11, 20213 yr it's 10 pounds on the official Killers store Thank you. Thats much more like it. ☺
August 11, 20213 yr I really hope this can land them their 7th UK number 1 album, going by the release schedule Pop Smokes physical release is possibly the only threat but with it available on download for a few weeks iy should weaken the threat. Another American number 1 would be nice to but seeing wonderful wonderful is their only number 1 there its unlikely as imploding the mirage only peaked at 8.
August 11, 20213 yr Author Should be an easy #1 for them, it's a quiet week! Pop Smoke's album won't do much in physical sales, I don't think
August 11, 20213 yr Pop Smoke will do ZERO on CDs :D sorry not sorry The real threat is if Kaney West releases his album but hard to tell
August 11, 20213 yr Fascinated to see what this sells given the complete lack of single / music video and the quite short time from announcement to release by their standards. My money is on ~25k… wonder how that will compare to Kanye’s downloads/streams if he releases.
