Import deluxe edition includes three bonus tracks; Money On Straight, The Man (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) and The Man (Duke Dumont Remix.) 2017 release, the fifth album from the Las Vegas-based alt rock band. Wonderful Wonderful is the long-awaited follow-up to their 2012 album Battle Born. Brandon Flowers revealed in May 2015 that he and guitarist Dave Keuning were exchanging ideas for The Killers' fifth studio album. The band began work on the album at their own Battle Born Studios and also rented houses in Joshua Tree National Park and San Diego. They began working with Jacknife Lee, who had been recommended to them by U2 frontman Bono. Lee worked with the band between September 2016 and May 2017 at his home studio in Topanga, California, and at National SouthWestern Recording studios in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lee produced all tracks on the album alongside The Killers. The band enlisted Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) for a guitar part on "Have All the Songs Been Written?".

Great album
Great album, not as great as their first two Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. It's probably in line with Day & Age and Battleborn. Definitely worth grabbing, the singles already are enough to warrant a but with the great single "The Man" being very up beat and the signature Killers sound of "Run for cover". I've listened to the album once and it's definitely worth listening to again and again.My only complaint is that I would of prefered a plastic cd 💿 case instead of the cardboard sleeves but it's not the end of the world and it doesn't take away from the 5 star album. Also the album is more of the trio of Brandon Flowers, Ronnie Vannucci Jr and Mark Stoermer, there's sadly not much from Dave Keuning, he performs only on around two songs.Overall a great album, definitely would advice people to buy it, especially fans of the band. I wasn't disappointed and hopefully we won't have to wait 5 years for another studio album from the boys, next time round haha 😂

Oh, we're falling
I've been playing this album all day and it simply gets better with each listen. Obvious stand out tracks are "The Man" and "Run For Cover" but "Out Of My Mind" blew me away completely with its beautiful instrumentation. In fact, all songs are exceptionally well produced and mixed with the bass lines of Mark Stoermer (in full-on Peter Hook mode) coming through particularly strong.People will still trot out the old dross of "not as good as Sam's Town or Hot Fuss" but this is a grown up album for grown up people.

Just buy the MP3 version, not the CD
I'm a killers fan and have all their albums on CD, so paid extra to get the deluxe album on CD, something I rarely do now, thinking I'd complete my collection, so I'm disappointed to find that the deluxe version comes in a rather cheap looking cardboard sleeve that looks like a magazine freebie, rather than the usual hard plastic case - wish I'd just paid for the MP3 version. The songs, well, it's the Killers, so some good tunes that will no doubt grow on me over a few more listens, but I was so hoping for a return to the style of earlier albums i.e. less polished, more indie. That said, I love listening to Brandon Flowers' voice, even when he does go a bit 'country/American pop' style...

Top Wonderful Wonderful form
What a great follow up to Battle Born The killers previous Album .. It sits more on the mellow side than previous efforts and is very much a grower due to that fact, but the songs, lyrics and vocals boast this to be a top album and I can't stop listening to it .. The Man and Wonderful Wonderful are great songs .. Get the deluxe version with an extra track and 2 fantastic remixes of The Man (single) .. love love love this band.

Great Album, another carton box (deluxe version)
Great album,Particularly I don't like that deluxe versions are carton boxes, but the album is fantastic.For the ones that didn't like the previous one (battle born), give a chance and listen to Rut, Run for Cover and The Calling. You will not regret

The Killers
As I thought " Awesome" as with all the Killers material this album doesn't disappoint. A marvel to listen to and well worth the wait.

Killers getting back on track.
Not as good as Hot Fuzz and Sams Town but way better than Day and Battle Born. I would not bother with the Delux version as you are really only paying for one extra ok song, as well as the 2 repetitive extra versions of The Man. Get the standard version. Also, the killers playing with Mark Knopfler on guitar. Great stuff.
