New Killers CD - Day & Age Impressions

[MrAngryFace]

All I gotta ask is this: Where did all that energy go? Day & Age is like a collection of their most mellow songs, with only a few kicking into a faster beat. Im not saying it sucks, but of all their stuff, the mellow music is not my favorite part of their catalogue. If anything this is frustrating because they've released a CD that isnt music I hate, but isnt music I love, which means each track will be forgotten and lost in the ocean of mp3s on my Zune.

[Greatness Gone]

It's GARBAGE. It sounds like an album filled with elevator music.

[Akala]

Ugg that doesn't sound good.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

TBH I didn't know there was a second album until discussion about this album took place

[MrAngryFace]

I hated Sam's Town at first too, so maybe I'll warm up to this.  

Sams Town had a lot more energy tho

[BlackMage]

are we disappointed or are we dancer?

[MrAngryFace]

are we disappointed or are we dancer?

haha, that made me

Truth be told I was telling Prole today how I like The Killers faster songs cause I dont stop and think about the lyrics

[Phoenix Dark]

go buy Emiliana Torrini albums, you'll like her I predict

[MrAngryFace]

already into her stuff. Her cover of blame it on the sun is her best song

[Phoenix Dark]

Do you like her? I didn't know she was the person singing Gollum's Song (in TTT) until a couple months ago lol

[MrAngryFace]

Some of her stuff is good, some of it isnt my thing

[Loki]

My favorite Killers songs:

Smile Like You Mean It
When You Were Young
Mr. Brightside (particularly Jacques Lu Cont's dance remix, which I love)
Read My Mind
On Top
Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
Human

Haven't heard anything off their new album besides Human, though.

If every Killers song sounded like Mr. Brightside, they'd be an awesome band, IMO.

The only song I liked at all off this album was Spaceman.

i listened to it on a long car ride.  nothing stood out.  like you said, no energy
