KarlSDec 29, 2005I read this once in a review of another music album and it holds here as well: only the terminally joyless would dislike the killers and hot fuss. Well crafted it may be, but the

SPMar 18, 2005Can't believe the low score from the 'proper' reviews for this album. it's the best album i've heard fro ages, perhaps one or two weak songs but worth more then 65.

LouiseBApr 11, 2005This is a good album from the killers but it does get a little (and i mean only a little) boring as it gets towards the end

FrankApr 23, 2005Only misses out on a 10 because of two songs that have rather repetitive choruses. I am glad to have spent my hard earned money on this album, and I am glad I bought it new - which is something I rarely do.

JulieKJan 18, 2006The best album in years. And yes, I mean years! These guys have what most bands lack now(i e Good Charlotte, Simple Plan) Talent and style. Although very influenced by bands of the 80's, they still come out with a sound that's all their own. Great album!

DanwoodJan 14, 2009Fantastic debut and contains possibly the killers best song With All The Things That I've done. This album contains the biggest singles but is really just a hint of the great things to come.

CecySNov 13, 2004I absolutely LOVE ALL the songs on this album. The day i heard "somebody told me" I just HAD to get the cd. Im a big Duran Duran fan, so this cd was good to me. Plus Brandon Flowers is a total HOTTIE!!!

franmDec 14, 2006its a great album, i love the song "andy your a star" its very underground, also "midnigt show", and... well a lot.

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 -

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.

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

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.
-
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.
-
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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
