Hot Fuss was a great guilty pleasure album back in 2003.

The rest? Pure shit.

The Killers rock dude! Hot Fuss is undeniably their best album but Sam's Town isn't too bad. I enjoyed some of the tracks on Sawdust but their latest album, Day & Age, is just poo.

Total shit.  A band that overstayed its welcome for four years and counting (2005- )

The music itself is pretty so-so but the soul-crushingly banal people that attend the concert will probably push you over the edge.

I saw them at a festival just as hot fuss was gaining traction. I didn't like their single, but the rest of their set converted me and I bought their album the next week.

They peaked with their debut album, but there are far worse shows you could be dragged to. I had to endure korn once to get to second fucking base when I was young.  >:(

Hot Fuss fans should look into The Chameleons:

Yeah. The first time I heard the Killers was on top 20 radio. And that was from Hot Fuss too.

I enjoy the Killers slightly, but yeah, they went downhill after that first album.

I only ever kinda liked the one single that they had when they first broke out, I think it was Mr. Brightside.  But everything else is so shitty and mindless.

perfect for fistful

 wtf does "indie" even mean these days?  is it the 00s version of the 90s' "alternative"?

it doesn't mean anything, it's a label thrown around without much thought put into it.  These days it encompasses everything from electric pop to guitar jam music.

Good songs: All These Things That I've Done, When You Were Young, Mr. Brightside.

Their first album is great. One of the worst live bands ever, though.
