Hot Fuss, By The Killers
Once you get past their name, which will only take you a few seconds into the first track, you realize that this band is special. The first obvious comparison is Franz Ferdinand, which is a shame because it is so easy to pigeon-hole them into that category of retro, umm, whatever. I think it is the synthesizers that give it an eightees feel. Or maybe its power lyrics like "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier." The retro sound seems more coincidental than intentional, however, becuase they are obviously not trying to sound like anyone else. The eleven tracks go by way to fast, and left me wishing their was more. Unlike Franz, the Killers don't leave much room for "Weirdness," for lack of a better word. That makes them instantly accessible, but makes me fear the album won't have much staying power. I am not to worried about it though because for right now, it sounds great. Amazon has it on sale for $9.99. You won't be disappointed.
