Compared to "Hot Fuss" and "Sawdust" this album is a bit of a disappointment. The musicianship and the sounds are there, but somehow I feel, when listening to the album that there is a lack of good memorable songs - at least compared to the two afore-mentioned albums.

"When We Were Young" is a great indie-pop rocker and a deserved big hit song. "Bones" is okay but no more; it has a great video by the way. Third single "Read My Mind" is quite good and another of the releatively few highlights.

The title track is much better in the "Sawdust" version - somehow the great melody is lost in this upbeat version. I quite like the closing track "Exitlude" in spite of its obviously unpretentious approach.

The rest of the songs don't really stick with me.

As a whole, this is the group's strongest work, but there aren't the same highs as its preceding and proceeding efforts.

Swing and a miss. A band struggling with it's fame and trying to prove that they are more important then they are.

Repeat of Hot Fuss. They pulled a Coldplay, and I judge this album accordingly.

Better than Hot Fuss, so much more emotion put into this one. It can be seem over-the-top if you're not in the mood for it but if you happen to be, then it can be pretty intensely passionate. Read My Mind is one of the most powerful songs ever made. When You Were Young is timeless and Exitlude is pretty much one of the best ways you could end an album.
