Produced by the band with Shawn Everett & Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, it was recorded in LA and Park City, UT, the first of their career to be created outside their Las Vegas hometown. The album also features a brilliant array of collaborators, another first for the band who typically keep guest spots to a minimum. With Lindsey Buckingham, k.d. lang, Weyes Blood, Adam Granduciel (War On Drugs), Blake Mills and Lucius. Review: Possibly their best - The Killers have just released one of the best New Wave albums I've ever heard. In a way, it's a return to their Hot Fuss roots, but it still retains all the magic and wide-open glory of albums like Sam's Town and Battle Born. This is SO refreshing after what (to me) was a major loss of focus on Wonderful Wonderful. There's plenty of synth, and it's clear that lead singer Brandon Flowers was influenced by David Bowie, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and the beauty of the rugged American West landscape which the band has called home for many years now. The end of "When the Dreams Run Dry" was clearly influenced by The Highwaymen and it's dreamy and simply excellent. Brandon's voice is as strong as ever, and the arrangements are excellent. Lyrically there's plenty of love, loss, and spiritual soul-searching, as is common to most Killers albums. Standout track for this listener is definitely Lightning Fields, featuring the gorgeous vocals of KD Lang. I can't stop listening to it! It's hopeful, and beautiful, and gives me goosebumps every single time. I've been a Killers fan since the beginning, and I'm blown away. Get this album! :) Review: The Killers - Imploding the Mirage - Wow - where to start with this release? I have been a fan of The Killers for years - and Imploding the Mirage is in keeping with what I expect out of a Killers album - great production, great writing, excellent musicianship and singing and a tight production. There are very few artists and albums that I can say has no weak spots - this is one of those. Every track is great - in my opinion. If you twisted my arm to come up with a favorite (or two), I would have to say Caution and Fire In Bone. But like I said before, every track here is good. No filler. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085RT6PPD | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,621 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #968 in Alternative Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #4,469 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,585) | | Date First Available | March 13, 2020 | | Label | Island | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Island | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2020 | | Product Dimensions | 5.55 x 4.92 x 0.47 inches; 3.17 ounces | ## Images ![Imploding The Mirage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-dFqF+lTL.jpg) ![Imploding The Mirage - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618IifGiYEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Possibly their best *by J***E on August 21, 2020* The Killers have just released one of the best New Wave albums I've ever heard.

I have been a fan of The Killers for years - and Imploding the Mirage is in keeping with what I expect out of a Killers album - great production, great writing, excellent musicianship and singing and a tight production. There are very few artists and albums that I can say has no weak spots - this is one of those. Every track is great - in my opinion. If you twisted my arm to come up with a favorite (or two), I would have to say Caution and Fire In Bone. But like I said before, every track here is good. No filler. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbridled Enthusiasm with a Splash of Overwhelming Zeal *by S***N on May 6, 2021* Day & Age has long been my favorite album by The Killers, followed closely by Battle Born. Imploding the Mirage easily belongs alongside those two. The energy emanating from this album is undeniable. Every track has some sort of pulsating, captivating beat and/or catchy melody. I'm not sure how they do it, but The Killers somehow manage to sound brash and bombastic yet earnest and heartfelt. The more I listen to Imploding the Mirage, the more I like it: there are layers upon layers of carefully-crafted sound dimensions waiting to be discovered on each track. If there's one thing I might change about this album, it's the nearly relentless wall-of-sound aspect. Every once in a while, I yearn for a delicate, thoughtful ballad like Battle Born's "Be Still." In fact, although "When the Dreams Run Dry" is one of the best tracks on Imploding the Mirage, I find myself wondering if it wouldn't sound better as a slower, gentler ballad. I'd love to hear some sort of acoustic version, maybe where Brendan Flowers brings it down an octave (and a few dozen decibels). That could be lovely. In any case, if you are looking for pulse-pounding tunes that both pay homage to and lament the seemingly unattainable nature of The American Dream, Imploding the Mirage should really hit the spot. Just mind the speedometer if you happen to be driving: I find myself almost irresistibly tempted to put the pedal to the metal and leave the world behind whenever this is on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/188854524-imploding-the-mirage](https://www.desertcart.at/products/188854524-imploding-the-mirage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
