The Killers - Battleborn - Album Cover Analysis

On the album cover of The Killers new album 'Battleborn' is a landscape shot of the view in America just coming out of vegas.
It is quite low key lighting, lots of dark clouds but slight light into the distance.  It looks as if there is a storm coming.
The mise-en-scene of thus album cover is of a car on a road out of vegas, heading directly towards the car about to make impact is a horse. The car is giving off a lot of light on the roads from it's headlights and brake lights. The car is a modern american muscle car, where as the horse is very old american animal, so this cover is implying that the album if a clash of old and new. Also on this cover in the background are the hills and mountains, which adds to the landscape effect.
The layout of the titles and texture quite important. In bright read letters on this album is in the very middle of the cover is 'The Killers'. The font is dotted, which suggests lights at a concert, which gives off the impression they are a good band live. The word 'Battleborn' (the name of the album) is wrote smaller underneath 'The Killers' It is in a bold font and is black. The 'E' is shown as a lightning bolt, which refers back to what I said earlier about there being a storm. The fact 'the Killers' is an a bigger font than the actual album name shows that The Killers are a very well known band, and will bring in a large audience.
On this album cover, America is being represented. There is a mix of old america and new america, the old american horse, and newer american muscle car. This implies that The Killers will be bringing back old America in the new songs and mixing it with there newest sounds.
The audience for this album is a very wide audience, any group of the socio-economic groups could listen to this album. Both Male and Female listen to the killers, the singer is good looking which attracts girls, and boys looks up to him as a roll model. The age can be anyone really, but the prime audience is probably ages 14 - 35.
