I think it's very unfair to say, like some people do, that this album is a 'tale of two halves'... what people don't remember, is that the songs on the second half of this album aren't bad!!! in fact, far from it!! (especially the likes of 'Midnight Show' and 'Everything Will Be Alright') it's just that the 1st 5 tracks are, well, 5 of the greatest songs The Killers are likely to ever write!!! At least 4 of them are garanteed to feature on a 'Best of/Greatest Hits' CD from the band in the future...
Now, Sam's Town is my favourite album of all time!!!
and Sawdust is a stunning collection of songs (especiallly when you consider the majority of them are only b-sides!!!)
and no doubt, the band's next album will be massive!!!
but, Hot Fuss will always be the album that started the career of the best band on this planet!!! End of...
If you've read this review, and still don't feel compelled to buy this great album, then frankly, you really are missing out...
