The Killers - Pressure Machine (8.13.21) Album • Page 17

They are and I hope it never stops ha

 

This is great.

gonna have to spin it a few more times with nothing going on to better track the lyrics / stories as I listened while working but numerous times I stopped as I got lost in the moment of certain songs

 

I honestly love the little stories in the beginning of the tracks but I also love that they’re omitted from the vinyl

 

It's insane that the stories were added after the songs were finished since they relate to the themes so well. Thinking specifically about the intro to Runaway Horses

 

Incredible album. The last couple tracks are destroying me.

 

So I had always liked a lot of their early singles and stuff, especially All These Things That I've Done and When You Were Young, but I had completely written this band off after the "Are we humans or are we dancers" song. Seeing all the praise this is getting I decided to check it out and yeah it's really damn great. Gotta go back and check out their other stuff I've missed I guess.

 

This is great. Wouldn’t be mad if they kept going in this direction.

Sam’s Town
Hot Fuss
Pressure Machine
Imploding the Mirage
Day & Age
Wonderful Wonderful
Battle Born

 

Digging this quite a bit

 

I really wish people on this site would stop discussing pitchfork as though it’s the only review site on the planet. reviews don’t even matter I get way more out of discussions on this forum than I’ve ever gotten out of any review. but when discussion devolves into talking about reviews it’s just headache inducing, it’s just one persons opinion stop treating it like anything more

 

I wish i never saw another post about pitchfork tbh

 

This is really, really hitting the spot. Driving through Colorado and it’s perfect

 

that and album rankings. Actually, every kind of ranking can go imo

 

We are headed to CO tomorrow. I’m excited about listening to this one there

 

If we didn't rank, this would be a much less active place.

 

You say that like it’s a bad thing

 

Definitely not ready to rank this yet.

 

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get crazy here

 

cannot fathom ranking an album in a discography with as many entries as this one within like, the first 6 months of listening let alone the first 18 hours.

 

Eh, usually that's true. but then sometimes when you know you know

 

sometimes i just like listening to an album without worrying about if i like it more or less than other albums. actually, all the time i like doing that.

 

now youre talking crazy

 

Album rankings start and I check out for a week

 

This is the kind of thinking I want to adopt. It's hard to sometimes even think of a brand new album as even part of a band's discography when it gets released. But I'm definitely trying.

 

this is how I try to do everything now. I used to be a fan of lists and rankings but eventually you get busy and forget stuff or you realize it just doesn’t matter for shit and just enjoy stuff without analyzing or ranking it against other things.

same thing with sports and individual players. Like if a player gets traded from a team everyone is either “good he costs too much!” or “what a bad deal that will hurt the team, these idiots!” when it’s like damn, can’t I just like the player regardless of stats, playing time and how much they make?
