Aug 13, 2021Hot Fuss, el album debut de la banda, por lejos el mejor album que han hecho y el que mas expresa la esencia de la banda, de la epoca del indie rock, movido, emocionante y hasta conmovedor

Sep 27, 2020Every Song on this album has its own high value. Especially Mr.Brightside ( the best jealousy song ever written ), All these things that I have done and Jenny was a friend of mine. There is not a single song on this album that is not worth listening to. Highly recommended!

Um álbum simplesmente incrÃvel! -
Aug 19, 2020The Killers show off their talent in this debut by rafting some of the catchiest pop singles of the decade. Some of the songs are a bit slow and repetitive and Flowers’ voice is ear-splittingly bad.

Apr 17, 2018Easily one of the best albuns of the 00's. The way Brandon write about teenage and the mix of catchy and complex guitar lines of Dave make this album a masterpiece.

Feb 5, 2018Hot Fuss is the essential album of the 2000's. it includes great instrumentation with gripping baselines. Powerful synths and emotional ballads. This album is the closest to perfection any album from the decade has gotten to.

Dec 15, 2013A classic indie rock album, ''Smile Like You Mean It'' and ''Jenny Was a Friend of Mine'' are the highlights of the album and we can't fail to highlight the gay passion by Brandon in ''Andy You're Star''.

Dec 15, 2012Just a great album! It's definitely my favorite Killers album. It has great songs that are great to listen to over and over again. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Dec 11, 2012This is the best album I've ever listened too. All the songs are great, can't pick a favorite! The Killers have a lot of talent! 'Midnight Show' is for sure the most underrated song on the album!
-
Sep 25, 2012Nice debut from a great band. Features some of their best songs and, of course, Brandon Flower's great voice! And also the great musicians by his side, who made one really cool LP here. Sometimes it's lyrically a bit plain, but I can easily connive at that.

May 26, 2012I really enjoyed this album, and I think it is the group's second best, behind Day and Age. The majority of the songs on this album can pass as singles, and I really like the amount of energy that this album gives off. It is a very catchy and mostly very upbeat record that anyone can enjoy.

Nov 8, 2011A near flawless pop rock album. From the opening bass line of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine you're under the Killers spell and you have no choice, but to dance your ass off.
-
Oct 19, 2011One of the best albums of the 00's. It is 11 perfect tracks with a completely different style than the horrors of that decade. There are some truly stellar tracks including "Jenny Was A Friend of Mine" and call me crazy but I think that's one of the greatest songs of all time

Sep 14, 2010Fantastic album , this album is filled with modern classics (Mr.Brightside , All These Things That I've Done) , epic Basslines (eg : Jenny) , quirky Synths (eg : Somebody Told Me) , fine guitar work , energetic drumming and dark lyrics about Jealousy , Paranoia and Regret.
The 2nd half of the album takes longer to warm too but is very good -
DonalCJul 23, 2009First 5 songs are amazing. 6 and 7 are good. the rest are poor!

Most of Hot Fuss slides by without creating much of a stir, but it's got too many memorable moments to be written off.
-
BlenderThey're not the first--or even the fifteenth--recent band to draw on that era [of the 1980s], but they're among the most assured. [#27, p.138]
-
What's most shocking about Hot Fuss, though, is how, after five sensational songs, the rest of the album completely implodes, as the other six tracks get weighed down by too much production, a lack of memorable hooks, and some inexplicable musical touches that may have sounded clever in the studio, but wind up sounding disastrous on the CD.
