Advantages: Tuuuuunnneess!

Disadvantages: None

Hot Fuss is without doubt one of my favourite albums of recent years. Almost every track is excellent and in my opinion the phrase "all killer no filler" was invented for this album.

The albums standout track for me has to be Mr Brightside, which brings back great memories from university but musically the album is of that high a standard, that picking one track would be a great injustice to the work of the Las Vegas four. Other tracks that personally hit high notes are "Andy your're a star" , "Somebody told me" and the banging beat of "Glamourous Indie Rock and Roll".

With songs that are often lyrically nonsensical (I've got soul but Im not a soldier) ,have infectious drum beats and twisting guitar riffs, the Killers pull off what in my eyes will be remembered as a high point in early 20th century music for years to come.

Summary: 10/10
