The Killers - Pressure Machine (8.13.21) Album • Page 20

Not true in either band’s case!

 

Interesting that the little intros to each song arent on the vinyl, feel like theyre just as much a part of the songs.

 

Yeah this entire thing is excellent. Just listened to it twice on my drive up to the mountains. It’s fantastic.

 

Real jealous of folks who can drive through midwest towns and mountains listening to this hah

 

Seriously, very jealous haha

Closest I can get is MA to VT which was still very nice!

 

Youve got a real silly friend and you can tell them i said that!

 

“Sean Murphy said you are real silly”

 

This could not be more spot on

 

i love a different song even more with every listen.

 

Yea I loved them on my first listen yesterday. Curious how I’ll feel without them once I have it in vinyl.

 

This album is fantastic, although I definitely skip past "Terrible Thing" every time I play the album. "Runaway Horses" has grown on me a little bit, but I still think those two songs are the weakest spots on the album by a big margin. I do think I've said to myself in my head that each and every other song might be the best part of the album at some point on a listen through. "West Hills" is a BEAST. What a way to open an album.

I have another confession: I only love 60% of Flamingo, but I love 100% of the bonus tracks.

 

why skip a song lol

 

somebody arrest this man

 

Because it's boring, it stops the album dead in it's tracks just as it's getting going, and I'm impatient to get to the rest of the album which is almost entirely masterpiece level.

 

lol it’s the best song on the album

 

It’s what sold me on the album

 

Terrible Thing is my favorite track on the album too. It's devastating and I absolutely love his vocals in the chorus.

is the character in the song on the verge of suicide? because that's kind of the vibe I get

 

Yeah pretty sure

 

Thats my take as well

 

yes - it’s discussed in this article / interview which I found to be a great read

The Killers: “There are a lot of young people unsure of their place in this world”

 

idek what my favorite song is tbh

I'll think I know and then the next one starts and I'll think the same thing

really great album

 

Yeah, Terrible Thing really takes this album to the next level.

 

I literally cannot stop listening to this.

@Matt Chylak can’t believe you had to refrain from spoiling this for so long!

 

Where can I find versions or write ups of what comes before the songs? Amazon Music only has the abridged versions. Maybe I’ll look on YouTube tonight

 

The full version of the album (with the recordings of the people talking on some songs) is on Amazon Music for me. I just had to dig a little deeper. The abridged version comes up first if I search, but if I scroll through their albums the full version shows up eventually.
