The Killers third full length album Day & Age is a return to the wave-pop of Hot Fuss and a step away from the loftier ambitions of Sam's Town. Jeff Beck turns in a blistering live set of guitar mechanics on Performing This Week. ...
Music Review: The Killers - Sam's Town OH - Nov 20, 2008 The band unceremoniously discarded nearly a full albums’ worth of material rehashing the Hot Fuss sound and hired Flood and Alan Moulder to produce. ...
