THE KILLERS "DAY AND AGE" (ISLAND) 2008   SEALED W  RARE HYPE STICKER  CVR M-  DISC PRESUMED M
This sale is for a factory sealed copy of "Day & Age" by The Killers. This is from 2008 (1st pressing) on Island B0012197-01. This is in beautiful factory sealed condition ......see photos  This is pressed on 180 gram vinyl & comes with a fold-out poster. There is a cool HYPE sticker on the front shrink plugging the songs "Human" & "Spaceman". The other songs are "Losing Touch", "Joy Ride", "A Dustland Fairytale", "This Is Your Life", "I Can't Stay", "Neon Tiger", "The World We Live In" & "Goodnight Travel Well".
Songs like "Spaceman" which has a very Sparks meet the Kinks feel to the sparse and dark "Goodnight, Travel Well" which brings to mind early Depeche Mode, New Order & Morrisey is a solid album and a redeeming album for their fans of the debut. Even "A Dustland Fairytale" which sounds like a left over from Sam's Town is enjoyable because of the production and delivery of it. The pompous over blown ego this band seems to have musically is kept in check. They sound as if they have come to terms with their own hype and success. It's not driving them to think they are on a level close to the Beatles or the Rolling Stones anymore. That is why Day & Age works its an honest album which is believable, charming, glorious and honest. If this album isn't successful it won't be because its not a great album with top notch songs. The Killers are back and this album is one your collection should include.
