The Killers' second album, Sam's Town, traded the dance-punk of their debut for a heartland rock sound, aiming for an epic, Springsteen-esque feel.
- The album was produced by Flood and Alan Moulder, with additional production from Dave Fridmann.
- Despite critical reservations about its stylistic shift, Sam's Town reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and number 4 on the US Billboard 200.
- The album title and themes were inspired by the Sam's Town Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Hailing from Las Vegas, The Killers are a rock band known for their blend of danceable post-punk revival and stadium-filling anthems. Sam's Town arrived as their highly anticipated sophomore effort, following the global success of Hot Fuss.
