Aug 29, 2020um álbum lendário, assim como 'Hot Fuss' e 'Sam's Town', un álbum incrÃvel!
-
Apr 17, 2018Still can't believe this is one of most acclaimed album of Killers. Their ambition here turned off their main features that made them a great band of alternative rock. Have some cool songs but it's by far the worse Killers album.
-
Dec 31, 2013The Killers have hit their peak with this album. I can't say enough about this entire beauty of songs. Especially "Spaceman" and "Human" a perfect combination of mellow tones, upbeat lyrics, an encore of terrific sound. A favorite of mine to work out to, and... Wow....I'm blown away
-
Jun 4, 2013"Day & Age" reaches all its goals. I can't see any problem with this album and all the tracks have potential because they are excellent. This is good pop music, people. Enjoy it!
-
Dec 15, 2012A great album filled with emotion. It's definitely different. In fact, some of the songs are just plain odd but this album has variety and is filled with songs that you'll love to play over and over again.
-
Sep 26, 2012"A Dustland Fairytale" and "Spaceman" are almost 5* songs, the rest is a solid 4*. The album is just like the last album, one point better than its predecessor. It's their best album yet (yes, I heard Battle Born) and as it's slower and more quiet than they were before, it's also more beautiful. I really enjoyed this album and I'm going to here it more often by now!

May 26, 2012This is my favorite Killers album, and one of my favorite albums in general. I think the songs have tons of emotion, energy and catchy lyrics to make them memorable. The introduction of the saxophone also adds a nice touch to several of the songs. The songs are also very well balanced with upbeat tracks and downplayed ones, but none of the songs every sound boring or out of place on the record.

Dec 16, 2011Great album! Their roots are still underneath the new grass they are growing of new songs. The Killers are the new U2 - only missing some lyrical components, but made up for with the sensational, memorable hits.
-
Dec 1, 2011Not a bad record from The Killers, but nothing spectacular. I enjoyed a lot of the music from the record, however, it's far from their best work.
-
Oct 19, 2011The Killers shortened it up for this album and made it clear that they're finally veterans in music. It is a very good album with an absolutely stellar final track
-
Sep 22, 2011Once again, The Killers fail to disappoint. While Spaceman and Human are hit songs, the true fan will discover that all the other songs are quite good as well.

Sep 14, 2010Spaceman and Human are fantastic , Goodnight , Travel Well and A Dustland Fairytale are both beautiful but sad and the albums quirkier moments like Joyride and I Cant Stay are great fun summery songs.

donalrJul 23, 2009Fantastic. best album yet! strong statement for album of the year. tracks 1-9 are fantastic! goodnight isnt bad but a little boring! eben the bonus tracks are phenomenal!
-
-
TacoS.Jun 5, 2009Pure nonsense. The entertainment value of this is non existent. What were they thinking? Better yet what are all these people that gave it better than 1 at best thinking?
-
-
SuleimanM.May 18, 2009Up there with Hot Fuss, but not nearly as edgy as Sam's Town, nevertheless, The killer's latest offering is a fantastic edition to an already impressive discography. Day & Age is definitely worth picking up for fans of the Las Vegas band, and most certainly worth a listen for new comers.
-
-
MateoGMay 12, 2009Superb album! With the exception of Goodnight Travell Well, which is not a bad track, but is the weakest one on the album, a little boring, although it has great lyrics. Even the bonus tracks on Day & Age are amazing!
-
-
ScottWApr 30, 2009Flower's needs to steep up with the voice. Other then that a real gem. This 4th album shows that this band will be going for a bit yet. The band is great in a the same way The Cars was with their owned sound and could go places like this jazzy killer album did. Just as with The Cars though its the voice of that owns this band.

TinaRMar 27, 2009I hated it. I was a fan but they almost lost me with this album. Are we human or are we dancer? Really?

NeilLMar 13, 2009It's quite simple: if you are a fan of breezy, radio-friendly synth-pop happiness, and have a penchant for deliriously spastic lyrics and instrumentation, this is an album for you. If this kind of ecstatic, well, synth-porn does not sound like it is for you, look somewhere else for your entertainment.

BrunoFFeb 6, 2009I'm completely disappointed with this album.. I 'm a Killer's fan but this album is a complete disaster compared with the previous ones...

AmyJan 30, 2009I am a huge fan of The Killers even though this album in my opinion isnt there strongest but none the less it is great n when i listen to an album without skipping any tracks...it must be gd.

PaulB.Jan 30, 2009Unbelievable strong album. Can't stop listening to it...day & night.

CathGJan 22, 2009I was absolutely disappointed about this album. I used to be a HUGE fan of the band, but the sax do not work for me. I think it sounds quite kitsh, except for the last song and for "Humans".

NickSJan 3, 2009A quite brilliant album, needs around half a dozen listens but then every track seems to come alive and will take over the next couple of months of your life, seriously!!!!! Well done once again to the guys from Vegas, keep up the excellent work.

AlanL.Dec 27, 2008In what I consider to be a bad year for good music, and after not exactly being bowled over by their previous efforts (a few catchy songs and mostly filler), I found the growth displayed by The Killers on "Day & Age" to be astounding. A solid, creative, highly enjoyable album, and my pick for best of 2008.

-
TroyP.Dec 13, 2008There are very few albums that I purchase that have me hooked consistently on each song. In terms of album quality and performance, I consider this the Killer's Knock Out punch, I smell Grammy's in the offing.
-
-
RonW.Dec 12, 2008I'm a huge Killers fan, but this album just isn't growing on me. It doesn't have a feeling, and no song really stands out (at least in a good way). In fact, Human grates my nerves more every time I hear it. Count me as very disappointed.

FelipeP.Dec 6, 2008Amazing record! It´s a Pandora´s Box: Roxy Music, Duran Duran, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Queen, U2. They are all there with the Flowers´voice!
-
-
JimD.Dec 4, 2008I'm giving it a 5 although I haven't heard the whole album. I just had to say the the lyric "Are we human, or are we dancers" is the single gayest line I've ever heard in popular music. This is coming from someone who likes the Killers in general, as well as ABBA, David Bowie, Rufus Wainwright, etc.

-
StephenF.Dec 3, 2008These guys have a good sound, and they always manage to change up their style with every album released. This band's going to be around for a long time.
-
-
DarioV.Nov 30, 2008I listened to this record a couple of times and... it just did not make me feel anything. There are two, maybe three songs that I found amusing, but that was it. Hot Fuss is still their best record.

JoshBNov 30, 2008Did no justice to The Killers, over all this album was crap.

-
MattR.Nov 30, 2008This album did not disappoint really good fun with some great tracks including spaceman this is a step away from the original killers music but nevertheless i really enjoy it
-
-
osvaldop.Nov 29, 2008Brilliant and strange album, eleven perfect pop songs, old and new keyboards everywhere, the bassline Order is the King, an amazing voice is the Queen and all the glorious 80´s in your face!

BrandonM.Nov 29, 2008It's weird, yet insanely good.
-
-
JosephANov 28, 2008I'm pretty surprised; it's a lot different from Sam's Town. I like it a lot. It's slick and pop-y, the pretension has been dialed down a bit and the pallet of instruments and rhythmic styles have been expanded. A welcome move forward.
-
-
DelspencerdeltorroNov 28, 2008Not a bad listen, but there's not much to grab your attention or make you want to listen. It seems to pass by unnoticed.
-
-
JimHNov 27, 2008Are we human or are we dancers? How stupid is that lyric? Anyone who commits that to paper then builds a song around it then records that song then releases that as a first single.... ugh, how far they have come since Mr. Brightside.

JeremyH.Nov 27, 2008They forgot the musicradar and clash music reviews which both gave perfect scores, wtf.
-
-
GraemeV.Nov 27, 2008The best track off the album isn't even on the original version. "Forget About What I Said" comes with the iTunes version and outshines the rest of this mediocre album. If you're a Killers fan, go ahead and get it. It's kind of a waste, though.
-
-
PedroN.Nov 27, 2008Worst album among the 3.
-
-
HELENANov 27, 2008Another great Album by The Killers who never disappoint. Brandon Flowers is a musical genius.

FarrellJ.Nov 25, 2008What a great album! It combines rock and pop pretty well and producer Stuart Price does the band a favor by balancing their (usually) dark lyrics with a more upbeat sensibility. If you hate pop or dance music, or consider Gwen Stefani's foray into pop after No Doubt as a "Sellout", then stay away from this album. Everyone else: give it a listen!!

willNov 25, 2008Wtf, uhhh, I don't really know what to think. They've switched their style up and it still sounds good. Not many have pulled that off.

titzaNov 25, 2008lame, sorry

-
lordolunchNov 25, 2008Im not gonna lie, it is kind of a strange album. But like most other albums by the killers it has 2 or 3 songs you will like alot and never touch the rest. "Human" is cool song I like a lot, and "Spaceman" is also pretty neat. "This is your life" is another song I liked too. It is certainly another great work by the killers, if you like them, the cds great.

RobertH.Nov 24, 2008I totally agree with the critics. It's a true The Killers album, but nothing more.

Awards & Rankings
-
With neither the sugar rush of "Hot Fuss" nor the blustery thrills of "Sam's Town," this is the Killers' most beguilingly strange record. As an accurate reflection of its frontman, it succeeds handsomely.
-
Too bad all that drama sometimes weighs down Flowers.
-
They remain fascinated by heartland mythos, but by becoming more comfortable with their glitzy roots, they've actually found the pulse of something more authentic.
