Amazon.co.uk Review:
Success came fast for The Killers, maybe too fast. The impossibly hooky “Mr Brightside” from their debut, coupled with faultless synth anthem “Somebody Told Me”, turned them into the most ubiquitous band in the world overnight and had them batting away Glastonbury headline offers before the Hot Fuss campaign was even over. Sam's Town followed all too quickly, trying to stylistically catch up with their status as stadium rock giants in waiting, but like their debut was really only carried by a couple of strong singles. Which would make this the perfect--or necessary--time to deliver the masterpiece the world expects. By shamelessly cherry-plundering the number 1 acts of the 80s not only have they managed to dramatically shunt the concept of filler from the record, but every track acts like it's performing last on Top Of The Pops circa 1987. Result. From the sparkling Pet Shop Boys obedience of “Human” to the massive Human League via Starship chorus of “Spaceman”, the Paul Simon’s Graceland as done by Talking Heads on “This Is Your Life” to the bang-on Cure desolation of “Goodnight, Travel Well” they barely put a foot wrong, though the saxophone ân’ steel drum funk of “Joy Ride” does momentarily test the patience. Their mission to become the next U2 continues apace and infiltrates most nooks on Day & Age, see especially Brandon’s very best Bono on “A Dustland Fairytale” and “This Is Your Life”. Third time lucky--they really do come very close to that masterpiece. --James Berry
Rating:
- Killers? Fillers More Like
What A disappointment this album is. Compared with Hot Fuss's top tracks Mr. Brightside, Smile Like you Mean It, And Somebody Told Me this sounds tired and lifeless. Human and Spaceman sound like limp Flock Of Seagulls rejects. The production also drains all life out of the tracks. Sam's Town was poor after Hot Fuss with too much filler. This is worse it's all filler and no killer. The end of the road for this band I think.

Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for free or under 5 pounds.
Go to YourIpod.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!)
If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

Rating: - Toothless Killers
First let me say that I like what the Killers create as a rule. I've enjoyed Sam's Town and Hot Fuss and I'm certainly not one of those trollsters who deliberately cyber stalk popular bands on Amazon just to provoke controversy.
However, I have say that after a weekend in the Lake District when this disc was much played in the car and in our abode.With each play came the dawning realisation that actually 'Day and Age' is not very good at all.
Apart from a couple of radio friendly tracks,the ... Read More

- Excellent album, takes a while to appreciate
The Killers have been my favourite band since Hot Fuss. So while I may be biased I was actually nervous they would not live up to Sam's town and Hot Fuss. On first listening to Day and Age I was happy with the tracks I had heard but unsure of the rest. After playing it 4-5 more times I think its excellent and moves the Killers music on. Anyone who likes the Killers previous material will like this album IMHO.
Rating:
- It's really awful. I am so thoroughly disappointed
It seems that I am the only one to give this album a negative review.
I can barely bring myself to listen to the end of the CD to pass full judgement.
It's over produced and very pop-py - aimed perhaps at commercial radio stations and inevitable club-remixes.
If you were hoping for anything like the talent and enthusiasm found on Hot Fuss, you too are going to be sorely disappointed. Sam's Town wasn't too bad, and Sawdust was pretty good if a little raw (though that was the intention). ... Read More
