The Killers sound like a delicious puree of Blur, Pulp and the Cure, loading Hot Fuss with stylish synth-pop effects and big blazing choruses.
-
What's apparent from playing this album is that almost everything they've got is a killer single.
-
Alternative PressThe band only falter on Fuss' slower, boring numbers, which consistently lack the zest and vibrancy of their uptempo counterparts. [Jul 2004, p.146]
-
Brandon Flowers has a horrible, honking seal bark of a voice.... Faced with this significant disadvantage, The Killers have cannily crafted a wall-of-sound songwriting style so bombastic it almost suits Flowers' sledgehammer vocals.
-
Most of Hot Fuss slides by without creating much of a stir, but it's got too many memorable moments to be written off.
-
Under The RadarShimmery, metallic and fairly unspectacular city boy rock. [#7]
-
UncutModish but strangely clinical. [Aug 2004, p.94]
