How dare people not break the law for once! This is awful people!
Hot Fuss was awesometastic and Sam's Town sounded like a high-budget Born To Run tribute album, but I'm not entirely sure what Day & Age is supposed to be. There's no particular sound or theme...it just kind of floats around, with some songs being good, and some being mediocre. But there isn't a hint of pretense to be found, which is pretty cool.

The World We Live In (You know what this one reminds me of? Tears For Fears' "Break It Down Again".)
I could write an 800-word essay on exactly why I hate Human so much, but suffice it to say that I find the melody to be Velveeta at best, and the instrumentation makes the song sound like something that the Numa Numa guy could earn himself another 15 minutes of fame with. The lyrics are some of the worst that Flowers has ever penned, and it all sounds like something the band worked out the day before sending the album in to be mastered as a contrived attempt to create the Hugest Single Ever Made. Hugest Piece of Shit, maybe.
It's a shame that A Crippling Blow and Forget About What I Said couldn't make the album proper, because they're both solid tunes.
I definitely hear a little Tears for Fears as well as some Talking Heads on this album. I think there is an arc or theme to the album, but I just haven't found it yet, heh. "Day & Age" is the clue, I think -- maybe it's meant to be a zeitgeist album, a timestamp. And the location is the American west.
