Some copies feature a "Made In EIRE (Ireland)" sticker on the shrink-wrap. Came with a free double sided poster at select independent record stores featuring the band on one side and the album cover on the other.
Theatre, story telling and dripping in Americana. Brandon’s voice has been waiting for this album all his life I’d imagine. As close a feel to Sam’s town as you’d get minus a big banger hit like When we were young. This album has a more concept feel to it. Nicely mastered and pressed. Dialogue at beginning of each song is missing which is a shame given it’s integral part of the journey.
It’s an album, the best since Sam’s Town I think. I quite like the vocal samples, but over time they’ll annoy me so the abridged version is good. My copy is well pressed, flat, and with minimal noise. Some other folks here have commented on it being a bit ‘thin’ - I think that’s a lot of Killers music being quite compressed.
Nice sounding album. Understand why they omitted the talking parts at the start. Those add to the meaning of the album, but nice to have a copy without them. This is probably my favorite Killers album, more so than the debut or even the B sides (Sawdust) album.
