Brandon Flower's drops the ridiculous posturing he has had in the past of being a "cool guy", and in the process finds the chemistry with his music he has always been looking for. Incredibly upbeat, catchy, uplifting and well thought out, it's a perfect blend of 80's pop music and a bit of 90's alt brit rock. Each song is filled to the brim with memorable hooks and interesting nuances. Truly a surprising and fantastic effort by a band I had written off as good, but standard pop fare.
As a side note, I give this a 4.5

Dull, uninspiring, electro pop from the masters of grit. Are these really the guys that gave us Mr Brightside or Andy You're A Star?

Very disappointing album. I lvoe their first two, but this is just pathetic. I'm ashamed to say i like(d) a band who released a song as bad as 'joy ride'. man that's a bad song :S

I think that in terms of Pop-Rock bands, The Killers is the one with the most impressive vocal performances and instead of Hot Fuss, which is much more rock, Day and Age is much slower, much more of a musical experience. It also very well represents what to me is the strength of The Killers, being their bridges. Almost every song has a bridge and they're always the best part of the song. Human is their best song and the bridge is orgasmic.

To be honest, "bless your body, bless your soul, pay for peace and self control" was one one my favorite lyrics...mainly because like Flowers, I have had moments of finding myself and understanding my religion, although it is not Mormon like his. This album is a festive, amazing party and I also find spectacular moments like in "Dustland Fairytale"... Plus, everyone needs to get past "Hot Fuss". It was great but this is great too.

If Sams Town was a mix of rock and electronic, then Day & Age is them taking the rock out of the electronics and making a whole album in that glitzy pop style. And it turns out really strong.

Surprisingly underrated album. The first half is of near masterpiece quality (Human, Spaceman, Joy Ride, rLosing Touch, and A Dustland Fairytale are all fabulously put together songs.) The second half doesn't rkeep up, but still does a decent job. I think it could've had one or two more songs, as it seems to end a bit too rquickly.rI think people's general dislike of this album come's from the band's shift to a much softer, "clean" style, and rthe fact that, although it is an excellent album, it does not live up to their absolutely phenomenal previous rtwo albums (Sam's Town and Hot Fuss.)

This is a much more cleaned up sound than Sam's Town. It blends both the masterpiece of Hot Fuss w/ Sam's Town which works majestically.

Another album, another new sound for The Killers. This one is 100% glitz and glamour. Not the nitty-gritty, real-life glitz and glamour of the immaculate 'Sam's Town,' but ethereal, transcendent glitz and glamour. 'Day & Age' packs twice the synths of 'Hot Fuss' and twice the sound of 'Sam's Town' - if that's even possible. If you didn't like The Killers before, you're certainly not going to now, but if you have a special place in your heart for bands that strive to be larger than life, that strive to be something... *more*... Brandon Flowers made this just for you. The album takes an inexplicable stumble with "Joy Ride," a whole mess of what-were-they-thinking, but quickly picks back up with the show-stopper "A Dustland Fairytale."
Standout tracks: A Dustland Fairytale, Losing Touch, Spaceman

Day & Age is a generally great album, i do admit there are some poor tracks on it but when they got through spaceman they really got good.
I think that Neon Tiger was easily the best track on it. It contained great musical sound although it lacked any inspired lyrics of any kind.
Good Tracks include: Neon tiger,I Can't stay,Losing Touch and The World we live In.
Average Tracks Included: Spaceman,Human and Dustland Fairytale.
Poor Tracks were: Goodnight Travel well and This is your Life.
(These may change depending on my mood)

Day & Age is a grower. At first, it sounds like a jumbled mess, but later, it still sounds like a jumbled mess, but an incredibly catchy and enjoyable one. Basically, Brandon Flowers runs wild with songwriting quirks and gimmicks and makes the best out of it, writing some of the best and at times worst ("Human", "Joy Ride") songs of his entire career. Day & Age is a wonderful record if you let it sink in, other wise you're just a party pooper pooping on a party.

After a front-loaded first album and a muddled yet undeniably powerful second album, The Killers have released their best album to date. Whether The Killers have matured drastically and Brandon Flowers realized that his band's got nothing on U2 or the fact that everything Stuart Price touches turns into dance-driven ear camdy, Day & Age is a true step forward for the group. With this, I am truly excited to see what the Killers do next. It is worth noting my favorite track on the album because it is truly awesome. The swooning album closer "Goodnight, Travel Well" is undoubtedly the best song the band has ever recorded. The only thing wrong with this album is that sometimes style overtakes substance as is the case on "Joyride" and the WAY overrated "Dustland Fairytale". But from beginning to end, there is no denying this is an excellent record and a promising sign for a band that was slowly losing steam.

The Killers' mainstream career began with Somebody Told Me; a catchy electro pop song made for the radio. Since then they have sold over a million records, Brandon Flowers has started feuds with Fall Out Boy as well as many other bands, his lyrics have gotten more poetic and his voice has attained a certain rawness which is almost non existant in the overproduced art of radio rock, as if trying to remove themselves from the pop culture. Because this is impossible Day & Age has been called a shallow, overly glitzy piece of shit dance record, but I would call it a fantastic surprise.
Day & Age shows off all of Brandon's attributes that he has achieved while backing off from the lime light and that glitzy dance music can be intellegent and moving.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen: this is how The Killers were ment to sound like.

"Day and Age" feels like a Killers album.. and that's the problem. It should be a musical law that just because you add more shit that doesn't mean the music has more merit. The Killers have a bad case of instrument envy, opting to throw in horns and a menagerie of goofy sounds. There is a word for this: overblown; and much like their home town, "Day and Age" has the glitz of a Las Vegas night, yet is strangely is as shallow as a stripper. The lyrics (although delivered well) make less sense than usual and the drumming is so poor its disgraceful, yet the Killers do possess the power to move and subdue. There are some good tracks here, but the love is lost amidst layer on top of layer. A sub-par release from the kings of guilty pleasure pop.

This really captures the essence of what The Killers are to me.
"A Carnival in the desert".
That's what I think about. Big flashy neon lights, little kids crying, cotton candy, and stupid teenagers.
It's a great album indeed.
Favorite: This is your life.
