"Slowly honed by the tides of time, this high quality offering has become surprisingly stuck to my digital turntable. The album’s quality is inescapable, but it’s the experience and beauty in Gabriel’s voice, now in its eighth decade, that really impresses." Reply

"The Killers Most Cohesive Album Yet A lot of people’s biggest problem with the Killers is their lack of album flow and consistency. The biggest example of this is Hot Fuss.

"I listen to hip hop, jazz, rock, electronic, pop, classical, post-punk, trap, RnB, art pop, reggae, metal, whatever, but I don't listen to a lot of punk or grindcore. This appealed to me despite that. Quite a lot of variation in production. And so much justified anger. I'll hear it again and perh..." [+] Reply

"Wow, what a beautiful listen. ‘God Save The Animals’ sounds both starkly original yet familiar at the same time, sporting thirteen deeply expressive and poignant tracks of indie rock/ folk." Reply

"Not mind blowing, nothing really new, but still a solid contribution to their discography. Not sure what else they can do at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds like their older stoner rock blended with Villains, in a good way. Songwriting and musicianship are as tight as ever, especially live. The album..." [+] Reply

"Most of the time it sounds like someone vomits into my ears. Very unpleasant to hear. He also sounds very dumb. Don't understand the hype, this is not good music." Reply
"Doesn’t perhaps surpass the lofty heights of ‘Process’, but ‘Lahai’ is nevertheless a strong follow up and one that constantly kept catching my ear." Reply

"I think how much you're fascinated with everything Taylor Swift- particularly both the icon and what people perceive her as out of the limelight- will go a long way into how you value this album.
