Ranking the albums of The Killers

4: Day & Age

The dance rock album that’s got a few good singles amongst a sea of slightly forgettable album filler that occurs throughout most of the album’s running time. It tries to be a combination of both ‘Sam’s Town’ and ‘Hot Fuss’ but it doesn’t fully click. It falls victim to an issue that will appear later on in this list, where the last songs fade off into obscurity and lose attention. Only here this happens a lot earlier, just after the halfway mark.

It’s a shame as the first half of the album has some strong songs in it. ‘Spaceman‘ and ‘Human‘ are strong singles and open the album with ease. How awesome would it be to one day have a film end with ‘This is Your Life‘ as it has a 1980s teen movie credit sequence feel to it.

But past that song? The album really doesn’t do much to keep your attention.
