The Killers - Imploding the Mirage (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 12

Band was really struggling to move forward at that point-- you had Brandon and Ronnie wanting to go right back into it, while Dave and Mark were clearly ready to pump the brakes a bit. So instead of going the route they've since taken (with Dave and Mark taking a bit of a backseat), they opted to take more time off, which led to Brandon going solo again.

Brandon has mentioned a few times that he wishes that it was a Killers record (along with Flamingo).

 

DID YOU KNOW: The track My Own Soul's Warning is so good that it can change your entire outlook on the day?

 

According to this, they are mastering the last track of the album

Phoebe Bridgers and Brandon Flowers on Transformation and Talking Shit

 

Folks, I have officially entered "pissed off" territory.

 

At the delay? I’m with you. I’m crossing my fingers for August.

 

Agreed. Hardcore agree.

 

At this point, pretty sure they're going to miss the summer, which is too bad.

 

Not so much at the delay itself, just the lack of a date. Album was supposed to be out two months ago and there’s still no date.

 

My frustration has been answered-- from their (German) website.

 

Craig we are all missing the summer haha

 

Speak for yourself!

 

August 21st is the most stacked release day I've seen this year and it's not even close.

 

Who else?

 

Bright Eyes, Everything Everything, Cut Copy, The Killers, I Like Trains, Bully, Declan McKenna, Lemon Twigs, No Joy, Magic Gang, Dan Croll, Dent May, HC McEntire, Thank You I'm Sorry, Cold War Kids, Matmos - and now this lot.

e: Siv Jakobsen, Girl Friday, The Front Bottoms too!

 

looks like im gonna be blessing my record store on 8/21

 

I'm only into The Killers, Bright Eyes, and Cold War Kids out of that list, and that STILL makes it a great day for music. Can't imagine how the rest of y'all who actually like most of those artists feel.

 

Thats still almost a $100 trip to the record store haha

 

Old 97's and Alex the Astronaut too

 

A very odd take on Twitter today:

 

Huh? When I didn’t check for music at all I still knew Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I’ve Done, Smile Like You Mean It, When You Were Young, Human...

 

The even weirder part was this next post, where I legitimately don't know which song he's talking about in the second bullet point:

 

i don't think it's that wrong really

they have, like, half a dozen really big songs. but they're also kind of objectively one of the biggest bands in the world? and especially with their amount of albums, you would think there would be a lot more

 

I would argue they have more than one signature hit but you’re not completely wrong either

 

signature hit: mr. brightside
similar-sounding hit you have to google: ....??? when you were young?
franz ferdinand: somebody told me

idk, having done it at karaoke often, literally everyone knows “all these things that i’ve done.” “human” was and is huge
