This is The Killers' best album since Hot Fuss. The perfect synthesization of American
Heartland Rock and European Post-Punk/New Wave/Krautrock. After like eight listens since
last Thursday this is currently in the pole position for AOTY.

Killers' typical formula of making the production ballistic in the chorus and just relying of Brandon Flowers' vocal range to make you think the song's catchy has been exhausted plenty enough.

It's been a while since I've been so moved by an album. But hey, they pulled it off here. The climax of My God is probably my favorite musical moment of the year. The weight has been lifted indeed.

rThis is a fun and entertaining album. It's reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen and other americana style artists such as Tom Petty and John Mellencamp. They wear their influences on their sleeves. I'm really digging Caution, Dying Breed and My Own Soul's Warning.r

Well damn, I really didn?t think I would enjoy the new Killers album as much as I did. From the very opening track, you are granted the pleasure of walking into the world of heartland rock and new wave with a lot of arena rock/alternative rock influence. The biggest problems with this album or the last three songs are not nearly as strong as the rest of the record. Also, the features don?t add anything to the album, especially Weyes Blood, which is sad because she has such a lovely voice. I am really glad to see Alex Cameron assisting on writing many of the songs because he is a modern-day genius when it comes to writing amazing tracks (even if I don?t enjoy much of his own work). Still a realty solid album from the Vegas natives.

It ranges from inoffensive to great: cuts like Caution and My God are bombastic and excessive in all the right ways, a fusion of American rock and synth that successfully recreates the magic of Hot Fuss: intense emotions blown up to size of mountains. If Brandon Flowers didn't sound quite so languid or the lyrics weren't so bad on a handful of tracks, the entire record would be great. At their worst - on tracks like Fire In Bone - Imploding the Mirage sound like B-Sides from a half-forgotten 80's band.

The album uses the same sound established in Wondeful Wonderful which I'm not a fan of at all. It is slightly better, but still very average. Half the songs are good, half are bad. The features on this are impressive but their respective songs really aren't.rThe good thing I will say is that Mac DeMarco is an inspiration especially in the song Running Towards A Place. Many people have tried to recreate his sound, not much have succeeded, but it sounds really good in this song.rI give the Killers a 3rd album to gain my trust again. Otherwise, they definitely fell.
