Description
There are three different versions of this album printed on coloured vinyl. A light blue with 11 tracks and two limited edition dark blue with the extra track "indie rock & roll as the last." One of the dark blue versions comes numbered from 1-100 as the run was limited to only 100 copies and was a very early edition for friends/family that generally sells for £600. There was also another small run of 1000 in dark blue with the extra track, this item listed for Oxfam today is one of them. The vinyl is near mint condition. It has clearly been played as the spindle hole illustrates yet aside from this there isn't a mark on it and it's very clean. The sleeve is also near mint, the only things detracting from it being some scuffing on the bottom corners. This is all thats wrong...
Hot Fuss was released on June 7, 2004 in the United Kingdom and on June 15, 2004 in the United States.[5] The album reached top of the album charts in both the United Kingdom and Australia and was certified 3x Platinum in Canada (300,000 units) by the CRIA in October 2005.[14] It stayed in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 chart for over fifty weeks.[12] 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". Towards the end of 2005, The Killers also released the album on 7" vinyl in a box set of 11 discs.[11] On side A of each disc is the album track and on the B-side are non-album tracks.[11] It is also one of the five most recent albums listed as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Hot Fuss sold more than 2,500,000 copies in the first year of its release.[11] Since being nominated for five Grammy Awards, it has achieved worldwide sales of more than 7.5 million units - remarkable for a debut album.[12][15]
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.[16] 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 -- in spades". Eliscu concluded, "This album is all Killers, no filler."[7] 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".[3]
