I thought it was pretty good, nothing revolutionary or anything. One really shouldn't expect much more than decent pop music out of them. Sure it's not as fun as Hot Fuss, but I like it better that way.

Goodnight, Travel Well was my personal favorite on this album, but the bulk of the songs are rather forgettable; making Day & Age is passable as a whole.

Highlights: Losing Touch, Spaceman, Goodnight, Travel Well

This album seems to divide everyone, radically. And it is no different for me. I really enjoy the album, and find that even its deeply annoying aspects (like Brandon Flowers' constant self-adulation) are somehow endearing in an absolutely tacky and corny way.

I literally think there is something wrong with my computer/sound everytime I listen to the Killers, I even go to youtube to check if my version is the same, and palylist.com.... maybe the problem is with my sound? But every other band seems to sound alright... God, I remember Hot Fuss being so much better. I used to listen to it all the time.

I voted pretty good. This album is amazing, not the best album ever, but it is the best so far from The Killers IMO

I had to say Career Killer even though I don't believe that, just because there wasn't a better option for me.

Honestly, I thought that Sam's Town had more highlights and just a bit stronger than this album.

A bunch of kids at my school absolutely love Human, but I don't see why, it's not that great a song.

Spaceman is easily the best song on here, I like Joyride, but I have to agree that its kinda tone deaf.

Not their best, thats very easily said, maybe their worst, a bit harder to say that. To me, I'll always like Sawdust the most, they just had great songs there, I absolutely love Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll. As for the Killers, hope they do better than Day & Age next time.

yeah I didn't like the options up there but this album was in no way better than Sam's Town....are you kidding me? I have only heard it once though so before I form a stronger opinion of it. I will have to listen to it a few more times but upon first listening to it. I'm not that impressed.
