RELEASE NOTES



The Killers\' great gift is that they -- and in

particular their frontman, Brandon Flowers --

have utterly no recognition of the ridiculous.

More than that, they\'re drawn to the ridiculous,

piecing together sounds that don\'t belong

together, reaching far beyond their grasp, aiming

for profundity and slipping into silliness. All

this weighed the band down mightily on Sam\'s

Town, their convoluted Americana theme park of a

sophomore album, all false fa ades and paper-thin

pretension, but on its 2008 sequel, Day & Age,

the Killers shrink the canvas and brighten their

palette, opting for a big sound over big themes.

Since the Killers are at their core poseurs and

not prophets, style over substance is the right

move and Day & Age has style for miles and miles,

exceeding even their debut, Hot Fuss, in its

stainless steel gleam. If anything, Hot Fuss was

a little too monochromatic in its obsession with

\'80s synth rock, a criticism that can hardly be

leveled at Day & Age, a record that stitches

together sounds with an almost blissfully idiotic

abandon. Anchored in dance-rock though they may

be, the Killers no longer sound like mere

disciples of New Order and Duran Duran:

emboldened by the left turns of Sam\'s Town, no

matter how misguided they may have been, the

Killers will try anything, goosing \"Losing Touch\"

with growling saxophones, creating a Strokes

disco for \"Joy Ride,\" flirting with worldbeat

la Vampire Weekend on \"This Is Your Life,\"

dancing the bossa nova on \"I Can\'t Stay,\" and

riding a tight soulful rock & roll groove on \"The

World We Live In,\" bringing it close to a mad

fusion of Steve Miller\'s \"Abracadabra\" and Hall &

Oates\' \"Private Eyes.\" Like before, it\'s

impossible to tell if such improbable

juxtapositions are intentional or accidental, but

given the overall tightness of Day & Age, it

feels as if the Killers do indeed mean to create

these odd, often pleasing, pop pastiches. And the

emphasis damn well should be on the sound and

melody, for Flowers remains a downright goofy

lyricist, whether he\'s misinterpreting Hunter S.

Thompson on \"Human\" or recounting an alien

abduction on \"Spaceman.\" Ridiculousness is much

harder to stomach in words than it is in music,

but the nice thing about Day & Age is that not

only is Flowers\' voice relatively buried, the

Killers are unwittingly comfortable with their

ludicrous, outsized pop, which turns the album

into terrifically trashy pop. Not the serious

rock they yearn to be by any means, but these

fashionable threads fit them better anyway.
