The Killers 'Hot Fuss'
As raw, urgent and exciting as the city they call home, hear Las Vegas' The Killers awesomely essential debut 'Hot Fuss' right here.
You've heard the rollercoaster rhythms of 'Somebody Told Me', you've thrilled to the sleek vocals of the gleaming, flawless loser's anthem that is 'Mr Brightside'. If you've been lucky enough to have seen them live, you might even have experienced the soul lifting gospel chorus of 'All These Things That I've Done' - 'I've got soul/But I'm not a soldier!' - or the sweeping space rock of 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine'.
Fine songs and great moments all, but they only set the pace for what's got to be a firm favourite for debut of the year as Brandon Flowers' vocals, alternately imperious and imploring, dance skilfully across a sea of gleaming synths and razor sharp guitars as the atmospohere builds like the mother of all hurricanes is about to be let loose.
'Hot Fuss' immediately delivers on every iota of the considerable hype The Killers have generated, before promptly surpassing it, smashing even the most hysterical expectations that have built up around this young four-piece.
