The actual day that Day and Age becomes a better album than Hot Fuss or Sam's Town in my mind is the day I go to my grave. I barely just about like Human and Spaceman, but that's it.

that doesn't make sense cuz you'd already be dead. day and age > sams town >>>> hot fuss

I.M.O.

To realize that Day & Age is better than Sam's Town is to succumb to the sweet embrace of infinity. What point is there in living after that?

Hot Fuss is still better than both of them, though.
 
So far I think I like Day & Age better.

I like BB more than D&A. I'm only on Miss Atomic Bomb(track 7) on my first listen though. Besides Runaways...the other first 5...I liked Here With Me the most so far.

Just finished MAB...good song. =)

Rising Tide I think is the first dud.
 
Flesh and Bone remix is stellar. Well worth the extra few bucks. Carry Me Home was good too. Now the last song...=( THE END....NOOOOO!!!

Probably the only cd I'll be purchasing this year. It's also awesome to hear that the killers will be playing at the cosmo during new years eve weekend! They always put on a great show for the home town crowd ^^

7.5 hours to the Amex Unstaged/Herzog (Zwei) show.

I'm starting to really love "From Here On Out" - if more Killers tracks come to Rock Band I could imagine that being a really fun track to play. :)

I'll be at UNI.

FUCK MY LIFE

I wonder if they'll keep the whole thing recorded on youtube? Officially?

Apparently it's running on the VEVO app on the 360 as well (it's advertised right up front on the dashboard) - and I've heard that yes, it will repeat after it's done so you should still be able to catch it not-live.

Thank god, that's less bad. Still, I wanted to watch with you guys =(
 
Second half of album is pretty damn boring but the first half is great. I think Flesh and Bone might be the best track.

But damn, Here with Me and particularly Way it Was really gets me :(
 
I'm now able to listen through the entire album without asking myself "what was this song already?".

It's growing on me.

But damn, Here with Me and particularly Way it Was really gets me :(

Yeah, these two flat out destroy me. xD

Just finished listening to the full album (deluxe version) using my Zune pass and I love it. I pretty much enjoy every song. Great stuff!
 
So debating on which version to pick up tonight, either deluxe or vanilla, but am unsure. Going in totally blind (like I do with each album and I've loved them all) so not sure if the extra tracks are worth it.

Also, I have the vanilla version of Day & Age, but noticed that there were also bonus tracks on the deluxe version. Worth picking up the deluxe for the extra tracks?

Thanks.

Yes! Prize Fighter is one of the best songs and it's an extra. The other two are good, but not great. Definitely worth the extra money though.

The Jacques Lu Cont remix was good, but I dunno, I like it less than his other remixes.
 
The Day and Age extras are a little more iffy for me. Maybe listen to them on YT and then decide if you want to spend the extra $?

That's what I figured. I thought Day & Age ended perfectly on Good Night, Travel Well so any bonus song after it would seem superfluous. Will go that route instead and spring extra dollars for BB deluxe.

Thanks again for your help!
