Premature Evaluation: The Killers - Day & Age
The Killers did good with Hot Fuss, their flashy debut of hooky Vegas new wave. Their look and glitzy synth tones were dialed directly into Indie '04, and after a few years of touring and fan base swelling, they talked...

could not agree more Mario C (heh), old school (86) B-Boy fan here, and imo, it's easily their worst record. it's not that it's terrible, it's just no good. the beats are totally stale, the rhymes & lyrics are often cringeworthy.
people wanna call "going back to their roots", it's a total retread. if this came out back in 89-90 it wouldn't be so bad, but so much has changed since then, sadly this shows no progress/innovation, something they were known for. the fact that they didn't play a single live instrument on this record is dissapointing too, even Mike's beats are pretty sad. how they managed to not make a song sampling Sonic Reducer rock, is beyond me.
