    Personally I'm disappointed by this one. It feels like they retread a lot of ground already covered on Battleborn (one of my favourite Killers albums next to Hot Fuss,) and even Run For Cover is very reminiscent of Day and Age. Now don't get me wrong, when they do rehash for songs like Tyson Vs Douglas, Rut, and Life To Come they are brilliant.

Now don't get me wrong, when they do rehash for songs like Tyson Vs Douglas, Rut, and Life To Come they are brilliant. Brandon seems to have spent the majority of the build up for Wonderful Wonderful apologising for Battleborn, but this album just feels like a complete rehash of it. He also said how he felt that Battleborn lacked direction, but this album seems to be the lacking in direction the most. I've always felt that each Killers album had their own very specific theme and sound to them, and The Man and Wonderful Wonderful certainly give the impression of the Killers covering new ground and a new theme, but then the rest of the album just reverts back to the musical themes of their previous albums.… Expand

    While Wonderful Wonderful certainly isn’t The Killers’ best record--or even their second best--it is a welcome return to form after some time in the wilderness.

    Wonderful Wonderful is the Killers’ strongest statement since 2005, a more than okay affirmation of their power to keep a global audience.

    Despite a committed effort, Wonderful Wonderful isn't a title that accurately reflects its content.
