The Killers

Their second album, Sam's Town, was released in early October 2006.In the UK, and October 3 in the USA under Island Universal. Brandon Flowers quoted that Sam's Town will be "one of the best albums in the past twenty years," though the album has received a mixed response from critics and fans. The first single from Sam's Town "When You Were Young" debuted on radio stations in late July 2006. In late August 2006, it was offered as a downloadable track before the album's debut. The single then entered the chart on downloads alone at #5 and the following week on its official release went to #2 in the UK. It was unable to knock the Scissor Sisters off of the top spot. Their single, "Bones," was the second video from the band, and was directed by Tim Burton.
