HMV Review
The Killers (Rock): Brandon Flowers (vocals, synthesizer); Dave Kuening (guitar); Mark Stoermer (bass instrument); Ronnie Vannucci (drums).
Recording information: The Hearse, Berkeley, California (2004); Cornerstone Studios, Los Angeles, California (2004).
Although they are Las Vegas, Nevada natives, the Killers have more in common with the retro-New Wave sounds of New York City than with the casino crooners most often associated with Sin City. On HOT FUSS, the shaggy-haired quartet matches 1960s garage attitude and Strokes-like vocal swagger with a danceable, bass guitar-driven sound that pays lavish tribute to '80s pop heroes Duran Duran and Simple Minds. With "On Top," the combo adds the soaring, delay-laden guitars of U2 and the Fixx, while "Somebody Told Me" features a bouncy disco beat that recalls the Pet Shop Boys. Not content to be pegged as a retro-revival act, however, the Killers imbue each song on this fierce debut with a healthy dose of new-millennium rock snarl.

メロディーも音も声も、まんま80年代。キュアーやエコー&ザバニーメンなど聞いてきた世代には、どハマりです。個人的には③がベストチューン。0 people agree with this review

RENDEZVOUS | 不明 | 10/May/2009
'04年発表｡ﾗｽﾍﾞｶﾞｽ出身だが､80年代UK風味の音を出し､英国でまず火がついた4人組｡ﾍﾞｽﾄﾋｯﾄUSA世代の購買欲をくすぐるとの噂を聞いたときは｢またまたあ?｣と防衛本能が働いたが､確かにｼﾝｾのﾁｰﾌﾟな使い方はあの時代のにおいが……｡でもきっと彼らはこれが新しいと信じているはず｡この思い込みがある限り古臭さは微塵も感じさせない｡0 people agree with this review
