On my list of 10 tens albums for 2004, The Killers are a modern alternative to the alternative with 80's sensibilities. This Las Vegas quartet rocks the Brit Pop/Retro New Wave sound, and it's exactly what the industry's needed. Hot Fuss, is a fierce debut from a band that will bring back memories of Duran Duran and Pet Shop Boys while creating an edgier identity all their own.
