That isn't what happened though. You may not like the recent stuff,
but the public certainly has.
Lots of people get the impression that they slumped after that first album. Any small bit of research will quickly reveal otherwise.

The phrase "sophomore slump" is never more relevant than with bands.

I remember an interview with Dee Snider about why Twisted Sister didn't take off after "We're Not Gonna Take It".

I think it was on CB that I heard an explanation that made sense. They spend years refining the music on the first album

While I liked their first two albums, Wilder Mind is the one I listen to most.

I personally can’t stand Wilder Mind

Somehow I don’t think industry insiders would agree with your take on ID.

It's true, they're more of a sophomore sell-out than a slump.

Public consumption does not necessarily equate to quality music

They've had quality music that wasn't popular during that time.

The Killers had two AMAZING albums to start. Then... They greatly fell off.

Battleborn has a ton of great songs. And BF's solo albums are nearly perfect.

And "Imploding The Mirage" is nearly perfect as well.

"Day and Age" and "Sawdust" weren't as good as their first two albums but they

Plus Sawdust was a compilation album (b-sides, covers, etc.)

I totally disagree with this. Battle Born is my favorite of theirs. Give it

Sam’s Town is the Killers’ best album. It was their 2nd.
