Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The Killers match postpunk guitars with a synthesizer overlay that recalls '80s New Wave without burying their sound in nostalgia. On their debut, Hot 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 there's an occasional misstep (the painfully earnest line 'I got soul but I'm not a soldier' from 'All These Things That I've Done'), it seems of a piece with the Killers' influences. As it is, Hot Fuss is one of several recent releases that bring a diverting faux glamour to the mainstream rock scene. --Rickey Wright

- Bonus Tracks Found Elsewhere
The three bonus tracks,

"Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll"
"The Ballad of Michael Valentine"
"Under the Gun"

are all available on the Killer's 2007 release Sawdust.

If you are looking to buy the Hot Fuss album, buy the Deluxe Tour Edition which comes with a DVD of videos.

- An important debut release
We needed this group to form and make this music.

I haven't gotten this excited about a new band in quite a while.

The Killers are destined to eventually be grouped with music greats like The Smiths, The Cure, REM, U2, Nirvana, and Coldplay in the near future.
This debut CD guarantees that!

Very original, fun and catchy - this CD is one of my favorites - I highly recommend it.

- It's indie rock and roll !!!
I loved this CD!!! I know there are like 5 different versions of this album, and I chose this because it covers the songs I like, it's not too expensive and it arrived just in time for me to listen it over and over again before the concert. It's great, it is the nearest to collector's edition, without all the fuzz of searching.

- soldiers of glam
Catchy, electrifying tunes that take the word "derivative" to all time highs. This band proudly wears its influences on its sleeves while delivering a fresh sound and brings the energy to new levels. The melodies are hypnotic and the vocalist makes the best of his abilities. They really seem to have striven to be good on every song on this release, which proves refreshing. Their determination was worth it.

The work is high energy and pleasantly addictive!
