The Killers, originally uploaded by shotgunshy.
The Killers - Day and Age. The Killers, to me, are an enigmatic band. You have to take them not too seriously, but at the same time, completely buy into their message. I'm one of the few people who liked Sam's Town, their last album, and I verily enjoy this new one. It combines some of the glam elements of their first album, along with the Americana-inspired lyrics of Sam's Town.
There's still the odd sounds thrown in, like a saxophone or African-chanting, but it works. The Killers are one of the most deliberately bombastic bands on the circuit, and it's best to just lay back and enjoy the ride.
