rock
tunes perfectly stylized and glamorous for the
pop
kids in the city and in the suburbs of new-millennium America. What's nice about these the bands producing these songs is how they strive so desperately to individualize themselves. On a commercial level, they do quite well in delivering catchy
hooks. When it comes to having actual talent, a select few actually do possess attention-worthy integrity. But there are others who don't, and they disappear from the American consciousness after a brief flirtation with success. Such theories, however, are left up to the individual music fan, so let's put that aside for a moment to experience the decadent
world of
the Killers
. The Las Vegas foursome introduce a perfectly tailored
new wave
-induced
art rock
sound on their debut,
Hot Fuss
. They wooed
MTV
audiences and modern
followers with the success of
"Somebody Told Me"
during summer 2004. This chunky-riffed single loaded with androgynous mystery and a dalliance with
new romantic
energy captures the infectious delivery of
as a band. Vocalist/keyboardist
Brandon Flowers
does his best
Simon LeBon
imitation; the sex appeal and the boyish charm are perfectly in place as the rest of the band accents his rich, red-hotness just so.
"Jenny Was a Friend of Mine"
and
"Mr. Brightside"
are equally as foxy as the album's first single, affirming that a formula is indeed in motion. It's hard to deny the sparkle of
Depeche Mode
beats and the sensual allure of
Duran Duran
. After 25 years, those sounds still hold up; by 2004, however, it's an incredible task to pull this kind of thing off without selling yourself to the tastes of the masses.
Interpol
the Walkmen
have pulled it off;
Franz Ferdinand
Hot Hot Heat
have potential. The difference with
is that the dynamic doesn't firmly hold together. The
gospel
jaunt of
"All These Things That I've Done"
doesn't quit fit around the
Cure
-inspired synth reveries of
"Everything Will Be Alright"
"Believe Me Natalie."
"Midnight Show,"
as much as it plucks from
's
"Planet Earth"
"Is There Something I Should Know?,"
does show promise for

came at the right time because the
kids needed something to savor the summer with, and
served that purpose. Now pull out your
records and dance like no one is watching. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
