THE KILLERS - DAY AND AGE (2008)

Genre?: Rock with a glitzy glamour edge?

Thoughts?: Chances are depending on how much you like this album will depend on how much you liked the previous two albums. If you were a fan of Hot Fuss you'll probably like this but if you loved Sam's Town then this album might not jar well with you. I loved both albums but liked sam's Town a little better, however I do quite like this album although it's missing something....BIG! Most of the songs are likable although there are a fair few fillers here. My favourite song however was I Can't Stay I loved how different it was and how it actually worked amazingly well (Sunny beach sound with rock? IT WORKS!). Most songs are more light and dance-y but fans of Sam's Town will enjoy Dustland Fairytale which is kind of the BIG song of this album. The problem with this album is that it hasn't really got a big Killers song outside of Dustland Fairytale. I miss my When you were young/Mr Brightside/Bones.

Best Songs: I Can't Stay, Human, Dustland Fairytale, Spaceman, Neon Tiger.

I like the album but the lack of a real big Killers hit outside of Dustland Fairytale hurts and the fillers hurt too. I liked the Glitzy style but I kinda wished there was more Sam's Town in there. Even though I've moaned a bit I did really enjoy the album though.

7.9/10
