By the Numbers
Flowers writes most of this one by himself, a change from the split credits of Hot Fuss. Where another member appears it is usually all four together rather than a pair. The record's ambition is on the credit sheet as much as in the Springsteen-sized arrangements: one writer taking on a big American album.
Sam's Town is The Killers' second album, released in October 2006 on Island and named after a Las Vegas casino. Flood and Alan Moulder produced it with the band, moving them from new wave toward heartland rock. "When You Were Young" was the lead single.
