Album Description:
Four years after the release of their landmark debut in 2004, MTV VMA Award-winning, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Island Records group The Killers have completed their fourth album - and first new studio album in two years -DAY & AGE, featuring the new single, "Human" debuting worldwide September 22nd, while the digital single will be released September 30th.The new album hits stores November 25th - two days before Thanksgiving.
DAY & AGE was produced by Stuart Price, a key figure in electronic music (Les Rhythmes Digitales) who previously worked with The Killers on "Don't Shoot Me Santa," their 2007 Christmas single; as well as music on their 2007 compilation, Sawdust.Over the past five years, Price has worked as a producer, mixer, programmer, and keyboardist, including The Killers' "Mr Brightside" remix which was Grammy Nominated.
The Killers - Brandon Flowers on vocals and keyboards, guitarist David Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci - found time to complete their new album while also wrapping up their biggest summer rock festival season in the U.S. and abroad.Historic headlining gigs at England's prestigious Leeds and Reading fests coincided with an appearance on the cover of NME's August 8th issue.Earlier in 2008, the Killers took home top honors for Best Band of the Year and Best Track of the Year ("Tranquilize") at the annual NME Awards USA gala, at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23rd.
DAY & AGE comes one year after the release of Sawdust (November 2007), a 17-song collection of previously unreleased session tracks, B-sides, rarities and one-offs.The album was assembled at a recording studio in New York's Hell's Kitchen, where the Killers worked with Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Lou Reed two recordings.Two singles and videos were issued: "Shadowplay" (from the motion picture soundtrack of Control, Anton Corbijn's biopic of Ian Curtis), and "Tranquilize".
The Killers' RIAA platinum second album Sam's Town (October 2006) debuted at #2 and spun off two hit singles: the #1 Modern Rock "When You Were Young," nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Short Form Music Video; and "Read My Mind," the band's first #1 at Triple-A.Their worldwide 5 million-selling debut Hot Fuss (June 2004) was the longest-running rock album inside the top 50 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for all of 2005, logging 94 weeks on the chart - 53 of those inside the Top 50.The album spun off four solid hit singles - the Grammy-nominated anthem, "Somebody Told Me," the VMA-winning (and Grammy-nominated) "Mr. Brightside," the Modern rock hit "Smile Like You Mean It," and the Grammy-nominated "All These Things That I've Done."
Album Description:
Inspiration has never eluded Las Vegas' The Killers, and it's a damn good thing it hasn't, because their 2008 record, their third studio album entitled Day & Age, is full of their finest songs to date.Together with bassist Mark Stoermer, guitarist Dave Keuning, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci, Flowers helped to mold the album into ten songs that work best together as a whole, each individually describing an evolution of the Las Vegas band's sound. "We're always pushing ourselves," says Stoermer, "and there's a lot of diversity here-from anthemic rock to dance songs."Flowers adds: "We felt like Sam's Town was a continuation of Hot Fuss, and we feel like this is a continuation of Sam's Town.'

- have the killers peaked out ?
like this killers cd is any different from the last two killers cds (or any killers cds). the killers are the killers and they have a distinct sounds that sounds a lot like u2 or coldplay. and today the killers are just as big as any contemporary rock alternative band such as keane, snow patrol, kings of leon, etc. but the question is, will the killers ever be as big as u2 or rem? well, they already are. theyre bigger than joy division or the new order ever was. its rock/alternative not pop/modern. ...

Rating: - Day and Age: A killer album
Okay, I have to admit I had really low expectations for The Killer's recent album Day and Age, whether it was the odd album art or the chants and instrumentals I listened to in the sample music. However, I was pleasently suprised; this album is probably my favorite yet. Day and Age has a distinct style native to their Las Vegas roots. The album differs quite a bit from their previous ones like Sam's Town or Hot Fuss or even Sawdust. Many of the popular songs such as Spaceman and Human, however, did ... Read More
Rating: - Another Killer success
I have been a Killers fan since the very beginning, and I must say...they just keep getting better.Brandon Flowers' songwriting is always captivating, and the music lives up to the lyrics.I loved every song, each unique and beautiful. Yes, there are some different sounds/instruments, but give it a chance and hopefully you'll come to love the whole package! The Killers are one of the best bands out there today, full of heart and soul, and this CD does not disappoint.
Rating: - Amazing
Like everything by The Killers, the album is amazing. The transaction was smooth and swift.
Rating: - Keeps Getting Better Over Time
Change is hard to accept. I was a big fan of Hot Fuss, and when I first heard Day and Age, I thought it was a step backward. It sounded different, and I don't think I gave it a genuine chance.
Over the few months I've owned it, I've had it on in the background while I've done other things. Then a few songs started to stick out to me. I started getting them stuck in my head even. That's when I decided they were worth coming back to and really LISTEN to them.
Now this is my favorite ... Read More
