Title: A pretty good debut album
Review: The Killers debut album "Hot Fuss" is not perfect, but fuss is something that it definitely could gain. The songs have the perfect mix of punk and new wave, a movement in desparate need of return. "Somebody Told Me" is the popular single from the album, and it's punk/new wave influence is pretty clear just in the lyrics ("Somebody Told Me, You had a girlfriend, it looked like a boyfriend"), a lot like the Clash. The other songs are in the same mold and cut. If there was just a little bit more variety, or a few more strong cuts, this would have gotten five stars. Still, not a bad debut, and a four star album that is worth the price of admission to check out.
