The Killers “Hot Fuss” is better then anything being released by their supposed contemporaries. “Hot Fuss” is most definitely the “it” album right now but will most definitely stand the test of time. How else can anyone explain another full solid record other then time tested? Every song could be a hit, and as an album it will grow into one.

The entire world has probably heard the first single “Somebody Told Me” and the second single “Mr. Brightside” is slowly climbing the charts here after doing damage all over the world. Those two songs are great but there are so many other great songs here. “Smile like you mean it” is a great track while “all the things that I’ve done” has one of the best lines of the year (“I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier”).

This record is sick and is ready to open more doors for this band. The Killers seemed primed to take over the music world. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
