Sawdust is a
compilation album by American
rock band
the Killers, released on November 9, 2007, by
Island Records. The album consists mostly of
B-sides, but also includes a number of previously unreleased tracks. The songs on the album were recorded between 2002 and 2007.
"Our most
metal song is 'All the Pretty Faces' on Sawdust…" observed guitarist
Dave Keuning. "That's a part of who I am. When you're in eighth grade, you're into
AC/DC and
Metallica. And any guitarist who says they weren't is fucking lying."[16]
The UK and Australian editions of the compilation included an additional track "Change Your Mind" as it was replaced with "
Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll" on original release of Hot Fuss album there.
