I have trouble understanding why fans want a band to stagnate in the same sound for decades. As a human I have grown ...Im not in the same place I was when Hot Fuss was released. These guys were so young when their first albums hit... They're men now with tremendous lived experience, collectively. There is quality and exploration toward new musical horizons evidenced by ITM and PM. I could not passionately embrace a regurgitated album for decades nor would I want them to chain themselves to that kind of artistic damnation. Their previous excellent work is still available to us. Those albums Still stand strong. However: It has been an unmitigated full- bodied experience to receive tKillers' last two albums. Absolute musical joy.
Like others have written, "Pressure Machine" is a masterpiece. There's not a sinlgle song on this album that I can even think of skipping. It is a beautiful and cohesive album - and it's nice to hear such a beautiful piece of work from beginning to end.
Holy Sh*t, how did I not know about The Killers???? Stumbled across Quiet Town on a Spotify and know I'm stunned by this Masterpiece of a release, Pressure Machine. FIVE stars unsufficient.
The thing is the Killers are always kind of messing with their style each album, so if you want something that has more of that heartland rock sound I'd recommend checking out Sam's Town first, and then Battleborn. Their first album Hot Fuss is more of a post-punk British alternative sound, there are serious dance vibes to Day and Age, and Wonderful Wonderful and Imploding the Mirage both have a pop-rock sound that kind of leans into sort of a Bowie-esque or Fleetwood Mac inspiration. If I were to pick my favorite three albums of the bunch though its Sam's Town, Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine.
You’d appreciate their entire catalogue, but Pressure Machine is one of those albums that I was jaw dropped the entire time I listened to it the first time. Every song is a piece of musical art. Absolutely incredible album start to finish. These guys have always been good but they just keep getting better.
They are a few of the last real “rock” stars left!! A band that still writes there music and performs without studio heads or ghost writers. Today’s music blows!! Thank you killers!!!
Particularmente é difícil para mim não gostar de tudo que vem do The Killers. Um álbum melhir que outro, apesar dos problemas, uma surpresa agradável a cada nova canção... continuem assim, ficamos com as melhores experiências que só a música nos prprociona. Obrigado amigos Abraços e saudações nordestinas 🙏🌹🤗
I was their last night at firefly they were great this was the only song they played from their new album, I wish they played In the car outside that song would have been amazing to hear live but the rest of the songs of Pressure Machine are not uplifting and hype for a festival but they did a great rendition of Cody I thought this was awesome and reinvented for how depressing this song is off the album
