The Killers have made another dazzling statement of ultra-modern pomp – NME

Irony-free and infused with feeling until it bursts, ‘Imploding The Mirage’ is the counterpoint to quarantine claustrophobia – it’s the sound of countless doors being opened, with The Killers stepping away from their limitations in a blast of undiluted ambitions. – Clash Music

Imploding the Mirage feels like more than just one of their best albums, but a triumphant and invigorated rut-reversal that shines with a hard-won confidence. – AllMusic

Imploding the Mirage is gigantic and jubilant. – Consequence

When it’s particularly easy to feel cynical, this album offers the same fiery hope that All These Things That I’ve Done did years ago. – No Ripcord

Brandon Flowers’ choruses soar above the clouds, the guitars buzz with the effervescence of the sun, the pianos ring out with the elegance of an abandoned cathedral dance hall, and the drums gallop like wild horses kicking up dust on the American Midwest plains. – Sputnik Music

An album that feels rich and invigorating. – DIY

The songs themselves are vintage Killers, often beginning quietly but driving inexorably to those yearning, multi-layered choruses that Flowers does so well, perfect for singing emotively with an impassioned fist over the chest. – Variety
