The Killers revealed that their upcoming sixth album Imploding The Mirage will be out on Spring 2020, so the first single off their new project should be announced soon.

About time! I really hope I love it. I mean, they're among my ultimate artists, but their last two studio albums were not that amazing.

There are two versions available, including a radio edit of the song.
Imploding The Mirage is going to be released on May 29 and there will be 10 tracks.

Alternative and AAA radio is going to eat this up like candy. The chorus is excellent, and the concluding guitar solo is probably the best they've ever done. Brandon Flowers has tried, for years, to finally compose that perfect heartland/roots rock anthem like his heroes did, and if this isn't it, by God he got close.
I love this.

This is gorgeous! And we can thank the brilliant Lindsey Buckingham for that epic concluding guitar solo.

Probably one of my favorites by them ever. I like it MUCH more than anything on their last album.

Yes, it sounds big, but yet again Brandon Flowers shows that he is not able to jump over his big sound wannabe shadow, that he is not that talented to pull this off. Is it Born To Run - nowhere near, is it Joshua Tree - nope, it is not even Ed Sheeran´s one moment of brilliance Castle On The Hill, but I do admire Flowers ambition to try the sound over and over again.

The only first single of theirs I like more than this currently is Mr. Brightside. Easily one of their best and I am a Day 1 stan who has seen them about 14 times live now. Flawless.

Very cool. Killers hardly ever let the listeners down. This one rocks right up my Alternative Rock alley. Big 80's sound ,and loud production with a catchy as ever chorus and amazing vocal works. I'm not too much for the original's longer intro, so the radio edit hit the spot for me. Download? Check.

I’m in LOVE! I’ve liked a few of Brandon’s solo songs here and there, but this is probably my favorite Killers song since “Read My Mind.” Going straight to repeat.

After two listens, I like this one. Let's see if it grows on me even more.

Really good, will be #1 in a very strange time of release. I'll be interested how many artists shelf material for the time being? Hopefully not, we'll all have time to listen to music through this madness.

I was not really feeling this. The solo at the end did not grab me at all unfortunately.

I love The Killers and this song feels like, I should immediately LOVE it, but it's kinda just like, okay? I use this vague criticism of songs "trying too hard to be catchy" a lot, that's kinda how I feel about this one. New Killers is always welcome though, and Run for Cover wasn't really immediate for me either, so maybe I'll grow to love it like I did that one

ditto, I love The Killers...& had high hopes after reading all of the comments...but (you knew that word was coming) it sounds like he’s over-singing or something...I agree about trying too hard...still...it’s not bad
