They sure made me run 4 Jesus yeshua did but could have somehow saved me from death sooner lol... Such a mirror it be with LV albums not to much on Nephi but sure sounds a lot like that small-town little Hollywood I came from in utah born lv :)
Does everyone get this epic writing?? Cultural call outs and perfectly performed Americana metaphors !! I just cannot believe this mans talent! It hits in the gut- all of it just so relevant today and yesterday
Definitely hits in the gut - well said - and in the best of ways, as true, quality, music should. I feel surprised sometimes, especially at the live performances at how good they are - and then I think to myself - why am I surprised at this? They take their art seriously and it shows.
I think Brandon n co have been writing this good all their careers, but this album is on another level, it feels so personal to him and many fans. When I saw them at Wembley Stadium in 2013, Brandon actually wrote a song especially for that gig called ironically The Wembley Song, still get goosebumps listening to it now. He is such a talent as a writer & a singer
I hated this album the first time I heard it, but I decided to listen to it a few more times to give it a chance. This is now my favorite album along with Battle Born. To truly appreciate this album, you have to listen to the entire thing, not just one song here and there.
Brandon Flowers as an artist has reached a level of writing and arranging that few have attained. While previous Killer compositions were catchy and pop like, enjoyable, this body of work with Pressure Machine is a brilliant masterpiece. I place this record with the likes of In My Tribe by 10,000 Maniacs. Try to pick a favorite song and you will have a new one shortly after listening to the others after a short time. A terrific "concept" record. I never thought I would put the Killers in the same musical genre genius of REM or 10,000 Maniacs. People that compare Brandon Flowers lyrical writing with The Boss are selling Flowers short. I do not think Bruce Springsteen has ever used the phrases so fittingly in his songs such as "laughed it off like lemonade" or "when the mountain comes back to life it doesn't come from without, it comes from within." This record 100% deserves a Grammy. As a Project Recording Studio owner I am very critical of music. I don't very often praise an artists work to this degree. I have apparently offended fans of other musicians by giving objective critical opinions. Nothing to improve on this masterpiece of art.
@@lawrenceelmerfuhrmannjr5234 I would like to add that the production of the record is also equally impressive. There are so many instances of interesting sonic "ear candy" that is incorporated along with the various choice of instrumentation. The producers and mixing engineer should have Grammys also. As far as Brandon Flowers, I think he is in the company of Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant . Brilliant song lyrics, story telling, and musical arrangements.
Have a listen to the band James if you don't already know them well. Their songwriting and sound is different, but absolutely on par. You can start with "Sit Down" and "Laid" if you like, which will come up first, but "Moving On" or the much older "She's a Star" are better in my opinion.
@@simonjohnson9055 I remember waiting in line in maybe 1995 to get tickets for James at The Metro in Chicago. We had to wait outside a Carson Pierre Scott and line up outside when tickets went on sale.
“Somebody’s been keeping secrets.” That is the line in the first song that gave me chills. The whole album is achingly gorgeous, but that was the moment for me.
Yes, I'm from that type of town in Idaho...we had a couple of of these "accidents" when I was growing up. I also love the commentator saying this is sometimes the way out. This song makes me cry every time too.
Baah Grammy just want money and not talent. This is what's had happened to the Killers unfortunately. I live in a small island USA territory and had never heard any of this beautiful songs.
I loved it the first time I heard it. But it definitely sounded better each time I listened to the entire album. I can not pick a favorite song. They are all brilliant. As a project music recording studio owner, the production of the record is terrific also. Incredible musical arrangement and instrumentation.
That third song...wow...like a JOHN DENVER song.....jeez...I actually picked up the phone to share this song with my Father, completely forgetting we lost him to covid back on October 26th just gone....dammit!!!.my old man would have loved this and he just and just missed it. Thank you Brandon and gang...BEEEEAUTIFUL!!...every song, every voice.
Just curious what brought you to them? Did you see one of their TV performances or come in via another avenue? Also, I'm envious that you get to discover their catalog for the first time.
@@mickwritesmaui5899 If you ask 10 Killers fans they will probably tell you at least 5 different albums that is their fav. I don't even think that I could pick one, and I'm a fan since Hot Fuss. Not being nitpicky but music is subjective, imho.
@@MoahGentle that's true. I have an emotional attachment to Battleborn. I think it's a gorgeous album. I also love Imploding The Mirage. This new one hits me in all the right ways
The "quiet town" with so many secrets. I have lived in some of these quiet towns in my lifetime, especially in the Old South. Brandon Flowers is good at exposing these secrets. Some good.. some bad. Brandon is right -- people are born in these small, quiet towns, they live there all their lives, and then they die and are buried in the same quiet town. These people never leave the "quiet town'. I have relatives that fit this picture. Brandon is fantastic for knowing past vs. present generations at such a young age. Grammy! Brandon is very knowledgeable and hardworking!
We were going through an uncertain life altering operation for my wife and this music spoke to my heart and gave me peace and hope. I know the killers probably don’t read these comments but thank you so much from the bottom of heart for helping get me through to the other side …..and she’s still with me, with us all❤️❤️❤️
IF ANYBODY FROM ANY BAND DOES I AM SURE BRANDON OR RONNIE DOES. I AM HOPING THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE HAVING A BLESSED UNION DUDE. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU BOTH.
Brandon Flowers is a storyteller, and his stories are getting better & better. You know when you pick up a Flowers/Killers track, that from the 1st word until the last, you will be transfixed. Pressure Machine is a classic of music, a journey, a gift 👌
Pressure Machine is the best album that came out this year, no doubt. Every song has something special in it. Quiet Town hits different than any other song I ever heard.. That harmonica is so touching! Edit: since so many people are adding their favourite songs of the album in the comments, I want to say that mine is In The Car Outside. In a way it's like Imploding the Mirage from the previous album, every time I hear it, it pumps me up! Maybe not the most touching song but to me it's the best.
I gave this album a go when it came out but it didn't really stick with me at all, even though I enjoy the obviously Springsteen inspired Quiet Town. I either didn't make it to In the Car Outside or when I listened to it I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. After reading your comment I gave it another listen with the lyrics open in a browser. Holy shit that song just kicked me in the chest. Struggling a bit at the moment with two kids 3 and 4 and no family support in the pandemic. Thanks for commenting. I'm listening to the rest of the album now.
I always cry my way through Quiet Town. What beautiful story telling. I'm grateful they created This album...I've been heart-hooked from the first listen. This album expands my soul with refined emotions. 🇺🇸💗 "Every step is a silver prayer" To my core!
Yes, that line haunts me in a good way, it's how I feel many times and really gives words to those emotions. And the storytelling for sure - that is why I love this band and this album so much - their music has so much meaning, it's poetry, it's real and it is transports the listener into that story, emotion and atmosphere.
This is their magnum opus in my opinion. It's the most cohesive concept album they've ever done. I dig the lofi production over the loud anthemic bombast they usually go for. It's a solid reflection on how they've gracefully aged. I don't think this will win over any new fans, but the base fanbase can appreciate this as the culmination of their craft mastered and perfected.
Astounding songwriting. There has never been an album that grew on me like this one. I live across an ocean from small town America but this has genuinely given me an insight into how people live, love and die there.
This album is a haunting reflection of the decay of America's Heart Land. If you are interested to hear how that Heart Land has changed over the last 35+ years, listen to John Cougar Mellencamp's Scarecrow album from 1985.
The Killers is also one of my favorites, but there is one group that holds the number one place for me. That group is called Son Lux. They are really something else. I would look them up😉👍
@@dandytv1510 The writers I compare him too are from another generation. The band members of 10,000 Maniacs and REM. You are right. Brandon Flowers is possibly the best writer of his generation.
Grew on me. Loved their last album, Imploding the Mirage. Felt this album was slow but after few listens it grew on me and very much appreciated the maturity and writing. The album is about small town of America and they definitely portrayed it. Bit of country, old rock and some western vibe to it. BFlowers never disappoint
Same! I'm more of a Battle Born and Imploding the Mirage sort of guy. I didn't like it at first, but I definitely enjoy it now. I still prefer those two, but I can appreciate what they've done here as well.
They are certainly not underrated in the UK. It is strange that although the are an American band, they have had more popularity here in the UK. Everyone of their albums has topped the album charts here. I think it must be because the first album Hot Fuss sat well in Britain and the trend was set.
THATS WHAT I LOVE THE MOST IS GOING BACK TO THE FIRST VIDEOS AND TRACING IT TO NOW , AND WATCHING HIS PERFORMANCES GROW AND GROW! HE IS NEVER STAGNANT.
Been a fan ever since I heard Somebody told me for the first time. Every album has grown on me and had a meaningful contribution to some part of my life. But it’s Pressure Machine that has grown on me in a way I didn’t expect. Im haunted by it.
The killers ability to almost completely switch there sound between albums and still not loose what makes them special is unbelievable. Almost every album they put out is perfect from start to finish. There’s something great no matter what mood your in. I heard stuff from sam’s town when I was a kid and have loved them ever since. I will never not listen to whatever music they put out.
THOSE FIRST TWO LINES U WROTE ARE THE MOST SPOT ON THINGS EVER SAID ABOUT THE KILLERS DUDE!!! AND THEY ARE THE MOST SPECIAL BAND I BELIEVE THE WORLD HAS SEEN IN SOME YEARS! LOVE TO YOU BROTHER! KEEP UP THE GREAT COMMENTS!
the Killers are a Christian band, I've been listening to them for years and then I read that somewhere and it all makes sense. I was reading something depressing about the evil in the world and this song came on and hope comes again
The killers earn major street creed with this release. Softly wrapped music and lyrics that shake at core emotions that make us realize we're all living life....refreshing for me to see a somewhat maturation process play out. "Quiet Town"'s Opioid verse caused me to pause and communicate with my own... See you all on up the road.
Battle Born encapsulates a period of my life. I moved 150 miles away with it playing on repeat and couldn't leave it alone for a year. It will always evoke and invoke those memories.
The way Phoebe Bridgers voice complements Brandon's is something magical. I know she sang on his solo album too and possibly on more Killers songs that I can't recall right now but I'm hoping that whatever they gonna put out they will collab/duet with her. She and Brandon sing in perfect harmony, I never heard anything like it.
Interesting! I think it is the weakest song, but I love that it is someone else’s favorite! It would be hard for me to pick a favorite-I find myself singing every song to myself at work-but it might be “desperate things” for me. So haunting! So unusual! Truly a special album. I can’t believe my friend doesn’t like the album. It is an incredible album!
The Getting By has now become my 7th favorite song from the record. Can not pick a top song. Too many. "Green Ribbon Doors, Dish Washer days." I find a little bit of Albert Camus in this song. Read the Myth of Sisyphus. It is about finding meaning in the everyday mundane parts of life. A very oversimplified opinion of the summary of the book. Enjoy "the getting by" of life,
@@BakerSynth cheers will do mate , is that the guy who is condemned to roll a rock up a mountain for his sins on earth only to see it fall as he reached the top evey time.
The Killers were the soundtrack to my early teenage years, then I moved on and probably hadn't listened to them in ten years before stumbling across this new album on TH-cam. Thinking 'wow the Killers, blast from the past', I was inquisitive to have a quick listen. Not what I was expecting, but I haven't stopped listening to it since, I'm so impressed by the songwriting. Really wonderful.
I DID THE SAME . I HEARD SOMEBODY TOLD ME AND MR BRIGHTSIDE AND LOST TOUCH WITH THIER MUSIC BECAUSE I USUALLY LISTEN TO HARD ROCK . AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY HAVENT HAD THE SENSE TO CATCH UP IN YEARS. THEN I SAW THE VIDEO FOR READ MY MIND AND LOST MY MIND FOR NOT FOLLOWING THEM ALL THESE YEARS! THEN I SAW THE FULL CONCERT I BELIVE FROM 2018 IN GLASGOW . UNFRICKENBELIVABLE!!!!! THE BEST SONG LINEUP EVER
Love this Band, love this Man and the messages he's given us!!! Can't believe it's been two years since PM was released, and I'm appreciating it more with each listen, even today.
These people have talent talent talent each time they bring out new music it surpasses everything that went before. Immense, always relevant, beautiful melodies, beautiful words. Long live Killers
For me Hot stuff and Sam's Town still rate in my top 10 albums. I have to admit I have struggled with Pressure machine but will admit that Quiet Town is a classic track. 👍
EXACTLY! I LOVE THE WAY THESE GUYS ARE NEVER SCARED TO TRY SOMETHIN NEW. JUST THINK HOW MANY GOOD SONGS WE HAVE MISSED FROM OTHER BANDS BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED OF LOSING THEIR AUDIENCE, OR PISSIN OFF THE RECORD COMPANY, BOOHOO! BUNCHA WEENIES!
I adore the Killers and have done for a long time but wow who knew they could write these lyrics... I think the pandemic has given artists the time to explore and improve... don't get me wrong... I really loved Imploding the Mirage.. so fun, so many great catchy tunes... but this album is intense and beautiful and I have been listening daily since I got it...
A melhor banda dos últimos 20 anos, sem nenhuma dúvida! The Killers para sempre, Dave, Brandon, Mark, Ronnie...! Garota os vocais, linda 😘 Abraços e saudações nordestinas do Brasil 🌹🤗🙏
THESE SONGS , THE ACOUSTIC VERSIONS HIT ME IN A PLACE THAT I HAVE NO WORDS FOR. I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE AND I MEAN (ANYONE) WOULD FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY IF THEY HEARD THESE SONGS. THIS MAN , BRANDON FLOWERS , AS A LYRICIST IS RIGHT UP THERE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IM NOT ALONE. THERE ARE ABOUT 30 MILLION FANS AND PROBABALY MORE THAT FEEL ME ON THIS ONE. THE LORD HAS TOUCHED THIS MAN AND HIS WORDS IN A WAY THAT I BELIEVE ARE DESTINED TO BRING THIS WORLD CLOSER TOGETHER DURING THIS CRAZY TIME WE ARE GOING THROUGH . PLEASE CONTINUE BRANDON, AND THE REST OF THE KILLERS, WE HAVE A LOVE FOR YOU GUYS THAT IS BEYOND COMPARE.
But Flowers writes on a whole new cerebral level than The Boss. Not that I do not listen to The River and Jersey Girl about 50 times in a row at times.
I certainly had a few jaw drop moments when I first listened to this album yesterday. Brandon appears to have a deep emotional connection to this material and for obvious reasons.

IT WILL SAVE EVERYONES LIFE. MARK MY WORDS. THERE IS A UNIVERSE OF LOVE COMING FROM THESE SONGS.
Pressure Machine is a masterpiece.
Does everyone get this epic writing?? Cultural call outs and perfectly performed Americana metaphors !! I just cannot believe this mans talent! It hits in the gut- all of it just so relevant today and yesterday
Yes I do. This album is amazing. About love loss and life. The fight of this life the lies the deception the hate but somehow the live breaks through
Definitely hits in the gut - well said - and in the best of ways, as true, quality, music should. I feel surprised sometimes, especially at the live performances at how good they are - and then I think to myself - why am I surprised at this? They take their art seriously and it shows.
It’s absolute genius so perfectly done . I totally get it . Killers have made two immaculate albums that have become my soundtrack to the Covid era x

The song that emerged as my favorite after months of play is the title track. While I love the entire album, that track has captured my heart.
I love this album. Transports me to small time America, it's so wholesome and beautiful. Brandon Flowers is a legend; his voice too, wow!
Whoah... haven't known a band that's turned their Springsteen influences into anything a beautiful as "Quiet Town." Well done... very well-done.
This may well go down in history as their best work, despite not necessarily being fully understood by all fans at this current moment in time.
We have the same name. And it's a fantastic concept album full of heart.
I'm not sure which of these comments were me 😂

Damn I love this clip so much, I wish I could hit like thousands times
this album is a masterclass in songwriting .
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Flowers.
the female singer on the last song is amazing go girl
the Killers are a Christian band, I've been listening to them for years and then I read that somewhere and it all makes sense. I was reading something depressing about the evil in the world and this song came on and hope comes again
The killers earn major street creed with this release. Softly wrapped music and lyrics that shake at core emotions that make us realize we're all living life....refreshing for me to see a somewhat maturation process play out. "Quiet Town"'s Opioid verse caused me to pause and communicate with my own... See you all on up the road.
Thought Battle Born was their best, but this one is definitely growing on me 👍
Both albums have got heavy Springsteen vibes in their songwriting style /lyrics. Never a bad thing!
Battleborn very underrated album, doesn't get the respect it deserves
@@adrianbarnes9776
Absolutely, their best after Sam's Town
Battle Born encapsulates a period of my life. I moved 150 miles away with it playing on repeat and couldn't leave it alone for a year. It will always evoke and invoke those memories.
this is how this album should be performed--acoustic
I have always loved this band…..they just keep getting better.
The way Phoebe Bridgers voice complements Brandon's is something magical. I know she sang on his solo album too and possibly on more Killers songs that I can't recall right now but I'm hoping that whatever they gonna put out they will collab/duet with her. She and Brandon sing in perfect harmony, I never heard anything like it.
she sang in his solo album? missed that
If I saw this performance I would be yelling at the end of each song. Simply amazing works of art, fantastic music.
Love the dashboard confessional feel of the second song. I can't wait for this style of music to come back in popularity
Wisdom comes in many form, This is wisdom in the purest form, thanking all of the band members 💕💕💕✊✊🏴🇬🇧
This entire album is truly incredible, and by far a pleasant surprise of beautifully mature and sincere songwriting.
This album is beyond real!!! If these songs don't touch a nerve........
the accompanying vocals in runaway horses are amazing, props to the vocalist!
Thank you for being there for us ❤️
Oh God, I'm in love with his voice
Beautiful !
stunning group love the killers.never a bad song. love the softer side of this band.
I love the getting by.. My fav song on a very good album. Just Gets better with every listen. Fantastic live performance.
Same!
Bigtime hey spot on, I love all albums with that quality
Interesting! I think it is the weakest song, but I love that it is someone else’s favorite! It would be hard for me to pick a favorite-I find myself singing every song to myself at work-but it might be “desperate things” for me. So haunting! So unusual! Truly a special album. I can’t believe my friend doesn’t like the album. It is an incredible album!
The Getting By has now become my 7th favorite song from the record. Can not pick a top song. Too many. "Green Ribbon Doors, Dish Washer days." I find a little bit of Albert Camus in this song. Read the Myth of Sisyphus. It is about finding meaning in the everyday mundane parts of life. A very oversimplified opinion of the summary of the book. Enjoy "the getting by" of life,
@@BakerSynth cheers will do mate , is that the guy who is condemned to roll a rock up a mountain for his sins on earth only to see it fall as he reached the top evey time.
The Killers were the soundtrack to my early teenage years, then I moved on and probably hadn't listened to them in ten years before stumbling across this new album on TH-cam. Thinking 'wow the Killers, blast from the past', I was inquisitive to have a quick listen. Not what I was expecting, but I haven't stopped listening to it since, I'm so impressed by the songwriting. Really wonderful.
I DID THE SAME . I HEARD SOMEBODY TOLD ME AND MR BRIGHTSIDE AND LOST TOUCH WITH THIER MUSIC BECAUSE I USUALLY LISTEN TO HARD ROCK . AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY HAVENT HAD THE SENSE TO CATCH UP IN YEARS. THEN I SAW THE VIDEO FOR READ MY MIND AND LOST MY MIND FOR NOT FOLLOWING THEM ALL THESE YEARS! THEN I SAW THE FULL CONCERT I BELIVE FROM 2018 IN GLASGOW . UNFRICKENBELIVABLE!!!!! THE BEST SONG LINEUP EVER
I wish they put this version of Quiet Town on Spotify:)
Cantas bien precioso Brandon!! 😍🥰
Gets better with every listen . And the songs reflect your own troubles in life , but never lose the faith in your selves
Love this Band, love this Man and the messages he's given us!!! Can't believe it's been two years since PM was released, and I'm appreciating it more with each listen, even today.
Nowadays we badly need these kind of classy songs..Thank you so much The Killers for giving this!
Thank you so. So much for getting all these amazing videos
Damn what a fantastic singer and the band is awesome
every song transports you into a story
These people have talent talent talent each time they bring out new music it surpasses everything that went before. Immense, always relevant, beautiful melodies, beautiful words. Long live Killers
Quiet Town ....gets me everytime ❤
This version of "Quiet Town" really brings out the poignancy of the song. I can really hear a Springsteen influence in it.
Always loved them, even as their music evolved through time! And I just love this album!! So heartbreaking and heartfelt! 🇵🇭😍💖🤌
Quiet Town| 0:00
The Getting By| 3:55
Runaway Horses| 7:51
Fuck i think those are the 3 i liked the least... :(
@@MarcelMuse They grow on you
Total time 11:11✨✨✨
The Getting By is probably the one that will really grow.
Great new album! Somebody's been listening to Bruce...
For me Hot stuff and Sam's Town still rate in my top 10 albums. I have to admit I have struggled with Pressure machine but will admit that Quiet Town is a classic track. 👍
This is such a great album and deserves all types of recognition
The best band on the planet.
EXACTLY! I LOVE THE WAY THESE GUYS ARE NEVER SCARED TO TRY SOMETHIN NEW. JUST THINK HOW MANY GOOD SONGS WE HAVE MISSED FROM OTHER BANDS BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED OF LOSING THEIR AUDIENCE, OR PISSIN OFF THE RECORD COMPANY, BOOHOO! BUNCHA WEENIES!
Would love to see an Brandon Flowers acoustic set in a smaller theatre. Stoked get to see Killers in Sydney December 2022
Jesse Eisenberg plays a mean harmonica
Lol
I was thinking that 2
Funny you should say that cos Brandon reminds me of Jesse sometimes
Giving some love to Joe Pug playing harmonica on the album version. So soulful and beautiful.
I adore the Killers and have done for a long time but wow who knew they could write these lyrics... I think the pandemic has given artists the time to explore and improve... don't get me wrong... I really loved Imploding the Mirage.. so fun, so many great catchy tunes... but this album is intense and beautiful and I have been listening daily since I got it...
Heartfelt and damn awesome lyrics... bravo for putting small town on the map.
You're really doing the Lord's work with these videos
@@davidcosgrave3765, Hate like yours is so beautiful.
Or maybe they are just pointing out the stranglehold religion has, especially in small towns. Hey wait! Maybe that is doing God’s work!!
@@davidcosgrave3765 Huh??? It's a phrase that means "You're doing a great job and I appreciate it"....
@@lorijohnson2348 I just meant it as a thank-you to whoever is running the account haha. Maybe it's just a phrase where I'm from!
Soooo good. I do wish they had a bass though instead of 3 guitars because the bass lines on this album are really good at keep the song moving.
A melhor banda dos últimos 20 anos, sem nenhuma dúvida!
The Killers para sempre, Dave, Brandon, Mark, Ronnie...!
Garota os vocais, linda 😘
Abraços e saudações nordestinas do Brasil 🌹🤗🙏
Abraços do Centro-Oeste, meu amigo!! Sem dúvida, The Killers está um nível acima.
THESE SONGS , THE ACOUSTIC VERSIONS HIT ME IN A PLACE THAT I HAVE NO WORDS FOR. I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE AND I MEAN (ANYONE) WOULD FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY IF THEY HEARD THESE SONGS. THIS MAN , BRANDON FLOWERS , AS A LYRICIST IS RIGHT UP THERE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IM NOT ALONE. THERE ARE ABOUT 30 MILLION FANS AND PROBABALY MORE THAT FEEL ME ON THIS ONE. THE LORD HAS TOUCHED THIS MAN AND HIS WORDS IN A WAY THAT I BELIEVE ARE DESTINED TO BRING THIS WORLD CLOSER TOGETHER DURING THIS CRAZY TIME WE ARE GOING THROUGH . PLEASE CONTINUE BRANDON, AND THE REST OF THE KILLERS, WE HAVE A LOVE FOR YOU GUYS THAT IS BEYOND COMPARE.
By their own admission they are hugely influenced by Springsteen, and you can certainly tell.
But Flowers writes on a whole new cerebral level than The Boss. Not that I do not listen to The River and Jersey Girl about 50 times in a row at times.
and Tom Petty and Morrissey and The Cars. He said so over the years.
This album is brilliant
I certainly had a few jaw drop moments when I first listened to this album yesterday. Brandon appears to have a deep emotional connection to this material and for obvious reasons.
Really what we need at this moment!!! Great sound great lyrics ...i love this album so much!
Damn those were beautiful.
Such an incredible record!
Beautiful!!!!!!
Oh my! So beautiful
Amazing !
Magnificent everything! What a great band!
Truly amazing!!
Masterful!!
I agree this is a masterpiece! 👏
Awesome, Thanks!
