I can't wait for the new album now. Seeing them on Sunday has made me realise how much I love them as a band.

 

I don't think they'll ever be able to beat their first album personally as EVERYONE knows the singles off the first album... but who knows. Not long now anywayy until the new album.

First time i've heard the two new tracks and

 

Spaceman = :heart:

 

Neon Tiger = :wub:

DAY & AGE

The New Album – November 24th 2008

Vertigo Records

 

 

The Killers will release their 3rd studio album, Day & Age, on November 25th on Vertigo Records. The album is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2006’s Sam’s Town and 2004’s Hot Fuss and contains ten songs, including stunning first single “Human.”

 

After bursting onto the international stage with the multi-million selling Hot Fuss, The Killers have experienced a whirlwind of success all around the world. The Las Vegas-based 4-piece – Brandon Flowers (vocals/keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitars), Mark Stoermer (bass), and Ronnie Vannucci (drums) – saw their debut album take on a life of its own as the success of singles like Mr Brightside, All These Things That I’ve Done and Somebody Told Me became bone fide pop rock anthems across multiple continents. In 2006, their second album Sam’s Town showcased a slightly different side to The Killers, a brilliant and heartfelt love letter to their hometown which broadened their still distinct sound. The album was another multi-platinum hit that saw the band cemented their position as one of America’s biggest musical exports and won the band two Brit Awards in 2006 at a ceremony in which their fire-drenched performance of #2 single When You Were Young was the highlight of the ceremony. Further singles Read My Mind and Bones, with its Tim Burton-directed video, gave the album the massive radio hits and longstanding success that lodged the album in the chart continuously since its release. 2007 gave fans the band’s stellar, critically-acclaimed B-side collection, Sawdust, which included a much-lauded collaboration with Lou Reed, Tranquilize.

 

Sawdust also provided the band with another fruitful pairing: their first time working with producer Stuart Price (he contributed production to the song “Sweet Talk,” in addition to a Grammy-nominated remix of Hot Fuss’s “Mr. Brightside” and the band’s 2007 Christmas single “Don’t Shoot Me Santa”). Immediately recognizing the unique synergy at play, Price and The Killers began work on some new songs and the band soon asked him to helm their next album’s production. Recorded at the band’s own studio in Las Vegas, as well as Price’s studio in London, Day & Age is The Killers at their very best. With 12 million sales under their belts already, Day & Age is filled with the soaring vocals, epic choruses and the remarkable songwriting that has won them legions of fans, radio & chart hits and multiple awards worldwide.

 

From the synth atmospherics of first single “Human” to the powerful, chunky guitars and horn swells of “Losing Touch” to the dazzling anthemic “Spaceman,” which has recently been included in the band’s live set headlining festivals across Europe and the UK, the songs on Day & Age are endlessly impressive. Never ones to stagnate their sound, the album also contains some of The Killers’ most adventurous material – “Goodnight, Travel Well” is a seven-minute long epic, while “I Can’t Stay” mixes one of Flowers’ most memorable choruses with shimmering, hazy tropicalia. Yet, for all the musical terrain they cover, the end result remains the same: it sounds like The Killers and it sounds spectacular.

 

Day & Age’s cover artwork has been created by British artist Paul Normansell, who has painted individual portraits of each band member.

And about the album... I couldn't be more anxious and excited.

 

I mean, we got a glimpse of it with "Spaceman" and "Neon Tiger" which were great, but the amazingness of "Human" the first single cannot be described with words! I just can't wait for the album now.

I really can't wait for it! I think my second most anticipated album of the year (behind Bloc Party).

And by the sounds of it it's going to be great! Absolutely love Human and Neon Tiger and Spaceman sound pretty good too -_-

 

Think I might be visiting this forum a lot over the next few months to see any more news (and because you guys make me laugh :rofl:)

Nice! :lol: But I´ll try to keep his dirty posts in the off topic thread. -_- :P

-_- They're not dirty!

 

Back on topic... how many copies do you all think the album will sell on first week? (in the UK).

If KoL can do 150+k in their first week I'm sure the Killers won't be far off!

 

How much did their First two albums sell in their first week? :unsure:

 

But 'Human' is probably my 2nd fave single from them (behind Mr Brightside of course -_-) :o

I don't think I could manage to visit more than one forum on a daily basis. It'd be too much for me. :(

 

:lol:

 

I'm quite looking forward to hearing their album! The Killers always put out great stuff. :wub: I'm looking forward to their next X-mas single too since the last two were great!

Whoa! I'm watching Saturday Night Live right now and they just said The Killers will be the musical guest on next week's episode! That's pretty exciting! :D

Hot Fuss didn't do too well when it was released - its sales only really took off when Somebody Told Me was re-released end of 2004.

 

Sam's Town did there or thereabouts 240k first week sales iirc.

 

Day and Age should match that... maybe even better it.

If 'Human' is the single the albums being released on the back of, I should think they would get around 300k
