Album
Hot Fuss is the debut album by Las Vegas-based post-punk revival band The Killers, first released in June 2004. The album reached #1 in both the UK and Australia, and was certified 3x Platinum in Canada (300,000 units) by the CRIA on October 17, 2005. It stayed in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 chart for over fifty weeks. It sold more than 2,500,000 copies in the first year of its release. After being nominated for five Grammys, it has since sold more than 5,000,000 copies worldwide. Singles from the album include, in order released, Somebody Told Me, Mr. Brightside, All These Things That I've Done, and Smile Like You Mean It. Initial critical response to Hot Fuss was generally positive. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 66, based on 20 reviews. Rolling Stone gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five. Reviewer Jenny Eliscu compared the band's music to contemporaries The Rapture and Franz Ferdinand, stating that in comparison to those groups The Killers "have actual pop songs β in spades". Eliscu concluded, "This album is all Killers, no filler." In a mixed review, Entertainment Weekly wildly praised the song Somebody Told Me while asking "As for the rest, isn't it a little too early for a Strokes tribute band?", and ultimately gave the album a 'C'. Towards the end of 2005, The Killers also released the album on 7" vinyl in a boxset of 11 discs. On side A
