I Have Nothing To Say...
...because this album blew me away. After hearing the first single, Somebody Told Me, I was very skeptical. I thought this would be just a pop band like Green Day. But i decided i would give it a listen after hearing the second single, Mr. Brightside. Wow. I was completely blown away and I fell in love with this album. Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine is probably my favorite track off of this album. Mr. Brightside and Smile Like You Mean It, which are the 2nd and 4th singles respectively are great 80s influenced tracks. Actually this whole album has a New Wave feel to it and i love it. Somebody Told Me is a hot club track and a monster pop track and it is very catchy. All These Things That Ive Done, the 3rd single is a slow paced song and it will have you singing Ive got soul but Im not a soldier all day long. Andy, Youre A Star is probably my least favorite on the track but is still a good song. On Top is definitely one of my favorites. I love the chorus to this track. Well-produced album, Brandon Flowers is not the greatest singer in the world (with his fake british accent lol) but I still love him here. I hope to see a long LONG career from these very talented guys from Las Vegas, and im sure 90% of you agree.
The Killers-Hot Fuss
This album is one of the best, if not the best, albums yet by The Killers. The songs are all upbeat and interesting. Usually, when you buy a CD, you get a couple good songs and then you have the bad ones. Well, that isnt the case with this album. I bought the entire album and Im glad that I did. The CD is an excellent example of what an album should contain in order to attract customers, and it certainly worked on me.

My favorite....
...current band. I know they have a similar sound to a couple 80s New Wave band, but if I hated every band that sounded like somone else, Id only be left with the Beatles.Anyway... suffice to say that my wife complains because I listen to this too much. Out of about 600 albums we own, its easily in my top 30 or 40.

Killers Album Editorial:
The Killers match postpunk guitars with a synthesizer overlay that recalls 80s New Wave without burying their sound in nostalgia. On their debut IHot Fuss frontman Brandon Flowers plumbs his imagination for tales of murdered lovers (Jenny Was a Friend of Mine Midnight Show) voyeurism (Mr. Brightside) and sexual confusion (the single Somebody Told Me) Flowers and his mates are obviously canny students; the total effect is of a playacted obsession but one made irresistible by their skillful catchy songs. If theres an occasional misstep (the painfully earnest line I got soul but Im not a soldier from All These Things That Ive Done) it seems of a piece with the Killers influences. As it is IHot Fuss is one of several recent releases that bring a diverting faux glamour to the mainstream rock scene. Rickey Wright


Killers Album Editorial:
Hot Fuss features eleven nuggets of reel-you-in storytelling genius and musical nectar. These eleven tracks span from the very Vegas #150; like Ziggy came to town first proper single release Somebody Told Me;Mr Brightside - a tale of jealousy that depicts that moment in a relationship when you realize that your other half might be playing away and this thought takes up residence in your psyche feeding the worst fears and visualisations your imagination can then throw at you. You#146;ll find two-thirds of a murder trilogy in Midnight Show which starts off harking back to Lipgloss before veering into far darker territory than old Jarvis would ever have flirted with in Pulp days at least and Jenny. These two are connected by the story of a murder of a girl by her jealous boyfriend. The first part of the trilogy Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf will you can be sure make an appearance at some point in the future. It#146;s a deliciously ambitious series that! belies the band#146;s tender years. Elsewhere meanwhile: On Top celebrates where Brandon feels the band is at while stalker#146;s tale Andy You#146;re A Star and All These Things That I#146;ve Done saw Flowers realise his dream of using a gospel choir in their recordings.

Amazing addition at 2005-06-07
The Killers - Hot Fuss is a great album. All the reviews for the American edition obviously stand, but if youre a die hard fan, then this is a great addition. The three extra songs were taken off of singles and demos. I just grabbed the Japanese version so I could have them all in one place. Its more of the great stuff on the album youve heard here in the states. Go to the concerts and to a local record store and see if you can cop some of the singles for free. Thats how I heard them originally. Otherwise, buy this album if youre lucky enough. The three new songs are:Glamorous Indie Rock n Roll - Probably the weakest of the three lyrically. The hook is a bit annoying if you ask me. Its like a metaphor for falling in love with a girl because of Indie Rock. Musically though, its a great song. Great melody and the guitar accompaniment weve come to expect.The Ballad of Michael Valentine - This is a great song. Tells a great story. Like Indie Rock n Roll, its more of a rehash of the same great musical stylings of the Killers.Under The Gun - This was my favorite. Its a bit more original as far as the musical aspect compared to the first two. The first two seem almost like a rehash of the style (still great, but weve all come to expect a lot out of the Killers), whereas you can tell the difference in tempo and stylings in this song. Still The Killers sound, dont get me wrong, but a great song at the end of the day.So as you can see, its really just 3 songs that die-hards should get. Otherwise, get Hot Fuss right now as this may never even get to your mailbox.Enjoy!

Awesome! at 2006-06-15
The Killers are the best! If I had to pick a favorite album, this would be it. Im actually a big Potter fan and found out about them through Dan Radcliffe (actor of Harry). He was always talking about them, so I decided to give it a try and fell in love with it. lol!A 17 year olds review~Cathy~

Killers Album Review:
The Greatest Debut Of The 21st Century at 2005-12-21
The most impressive and well-rounded debut album of this century has just been boosted by three additional tunes. Like Bloc Partys Silent Alarm, Hot Fuss never needed bonus material to make it a great album, but Killers fans will no doubt be interested in hearing these tracks previously only available as b-sides and imports. Lyrics about adolescent awakenings, relationship stumbles and unhealthy death obsessions havent been covered so magnificently on a debut since U2s Boy, with Killers frontman Brandon Flowers triumphantly leading his Las Vegas men through an album that juxtaposes murder with magnificence and gloom with glory. He may well be the most self-absorbed Mormon in history, but Brandon Flowers makes for a wondrous frontman. Even armed with the knowledge that the duffer has a penchant for pink leather jackets and eye make-up, listeners cant help but identify with the gifted orator of songs such as Mr Brightside and Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine. 18 months on from its original release, Alan Moulders layered production on Hot Fuss means theres plenty of sounds to explore that arent initially obvious. The keyboard throb of Andy Youre A Star, the dynamic drumming on Somebody Told Me and the religious fervour of the choir at the peak of All These Things That Ive Done are a neat match for Flowers spiritual zeal, with key lyrics on Hot Fuss appropriately holding the weight of sacred commandments. Straddling both the unnervingly sinister appeal of The Polices Every Breath You Take as well as the singalong flourishes of The Strokes at their best, Hot Fuss extended pleasures come in the form of Change Your Mind (which fits even more snugly on the original album than Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll), The Ballad Of Michael Valentine and Under The Gun (which, surprise surprise, contains more lyrics shadowed by death). After just a few listens, Hot Fuss will make you want to scream the lyrics from the top of a Las Vegas casino. Destiny is calling Brandon Flowers and his band, and with Killer songs like these packed in his pink leather jacket, hes on his way to rock immortality.

full length remixes--but not so interesting mixes at 2005-06-30
IT was great to get this single and find that the remixes werent short edits. The white duck mix of Mr. Brightside is the full 8 minute and 48 second version. Only problem is, the original mix is better. This remix makes the song drag with a very clunky rhythm. And the insider remix of Somebody Told Me is no better. Running 5 minutes, its another passive rhythm track. Collectors of the bands stuff will want this single. Fans of great dance remixes will not.
Killers Album Review:
one of the killer singles of 2005 at 2005-12-17
The 80s new-wave sounding Mr. Brightside was far-reaching this year, going top 10 on three separate U.S. charts - the Hot 100 chart, the Modern Rock chart, and the Dance/Club chart. The Thin White Duke Mix on this single was the one very popular in clubs. While its not my favorite mix from Jacques Lu Cont (a.k.a. Stuart Price - Madonnas producer), its still makes a good alternate version of this single. And without a doubt if your a Killers fan you need this single as a collectors item or if youre new to the band this is the single to start with - the bands definitive song.

Reissue of the First UK Single to Be Taken from the Bands Debut Album Hot Fuss. The Title Track is Backed with a Remix of Somebody Told Me and a Remix of the Title Track by Jacques Lu Cont as Well as the Enhanced Video of the Title Track.

Put the haterade down....all who like MUSIC listen up! at 2006-05-08
In a generation where artists like the Killers are rare, I cant believe anyone would put them down. I think everyone needs to stop classifying music, I mean how about we just let it be MUSIC and not this....or that....or too much like this band, or not enough like this band! Im tired of it...Its as simple as this...The Killers is GOOD music, It doesnt get stuck in a rut where you could even begin to tag a genre to it, and thats what I like. I mean I dont really go for whats on the radio, but when I heard Mr. Brightside for the first time It was extremely refreshing, It just wasnt like all the other pop garbage out at the time. Basically Im not going to say what are the best songs because you buy an album to listen to the whole thing, and thats what youll get when you buy Hot Fuss, an album where EVERY song is good, no fillers, all heart. Thats what it is all about for me!

Dont you put me on the backburner... at 2006-04-27
The Killers Hot Fuss is a great and fun album. With three extra tracks included, this 14 song collection is worth the money. My fave track is Smile like you mean it, has a fabulous melody and lyrics:And someone is playing a game in the house that i grew-up in, and someone will drive her around down the same streets that i did... On Top is a perfect love song, Andy youre a star, Mr. Brightside,Somebody Told Me, The Ballad of Michael Valentine, Jenny was a friend of mine, Change your mind, and All these things that Ive done are wonderful as well. Hot Fuss is the best album I have heard and the best new band I have listened to in the past 5 years. Hope their next creation is as great as this.

KILLERS ROCK at 2006-04-06
I saw the normal edition and the limited edition for the same price so I obviously bought the one with the most tracks. I love this cd. Brandon has a unique voice and I love every song on this album which is rare for me. If you are wondering about buying this cd go for it. It is amazing.
Killers Album Review:
Worth it? at 2006-03-05
Im not going to review all fourteen tracks on this album - just head over to the normal version of Hot Fuss for the first eleven. No, Im just here to encourage you to avoid this limied edition.Three extra tracks for the same price may be a good deal, but generally only if the tracks of good. And Im sorry, Brandon Flowers and Co., but these three songs are just not up to scratch.The smoky, low-fi Glamorous Indie Rock n Roll is not worth playtime. Why? Its just annoying to hear MTV baby Flowers go on and on about a life he is no longer a part of from the wrong side of the fence. The Ballad of Michael Valentine is forgettable, and, even worse, its painful while its playing. What a worthless song.Under the Gun, track fourteen, is a surprise. No, its not that its good amongst poor company - its not. But it does have single written all over it in red marker. Its just the sort of thing the bands audience of teenage MTV adorers, electro-geeks, and fun-loving alt-rockers will send to the top of the charts. Putting this song on the limited version of Hot Fuss was a mistake - it would have sent sales for the second Killers CD through the roof. Oh, well - we just have to pray that the sophomore effort has some really, really, really good singles.Thats just my opinion - but, please, at least listen to these songs before purchasing this limited edition.

One of the best albums of the last years at 2006-02-03
After releasing their debut album hot fuss the killers started to release their only album in different forms(tour edition,new edition,limited edition!) and this is one of the best!The killers from the sincity is a great band and every song in this album is over the average.The album starts with jenny was a friend of mine which is about a man who killed his girlfriend because of being jealous and after that the hit of the album Mr. Brightside comes and after that Smile like you mean it and it goes like that.Every song in this album are in great shape and and im recommeding this album to everyone who likes rock n roll!I cant tell you to listen 1 or 2 songs to understand how great this album is, because every song has a different story and every one of them is really precious for me!If i were you id not even think a second to buy this album and buy this edition because it contains 3 unreleased tracks in the usa and it worths every penny!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Hilarious video at 2005-08-23
Id think that this single would be worth it for the video alone. Cowboys versus sluts in suburbia. Perfect. Plus the song is great.
Killers Album Review:
Lindbergh Palace mix commercially released! at 2005-07-30
While you only get an edit and the album mix of the main track, you also get the full length 8 and a half minute Lindbergh Palace mix of Mr. Brightside on this disc, which makes both of the club mixes of this song now available on one import single or another.


Killers Album Editorial:
Lifted from their 2005 debut All These Things That Ive Done is another infectious slice of 80s-infused indie that more than any previous single sounds like Duran Duran covering the Strokes. Island. 2005.


Killers Album Editorial:
One of the Greatest Success Stories to Emerge in 2004 the Killers Fourth Single from Hot Fuss also Has a Remix of Its Predecessor mr Brightside Along with the Enhanced Video of the Boys a Stunning Black and White Cowboy Themed Dancing Girls Extravaganza!
