Release Info: Hot Fuss is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band The Killers, released on June 7, 2004 in the United Kingdom and on June 15, 2004 in the United States. The album reached top of the album charts in both the United Kingdom and Australia, and stayed in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 chart for over fifty weeks. Singles from the album include "Somebody Told Me", "Mr. Brightside", "All These Things That I've Done" and "Smile Like You Mean It". The Album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards.


The album was produced and engineered by Jeff Saltzman at The Hearse studio in Berkeley, California and Cornerstone Studios in Los Angeles. According to Lizard King head Martin Heath, Saltzman played a huge role in the album's creation, not only in terms of putting the record together but also in influencing the direction of the music. The album is mainly influenced by 80s New Wave music and post-punk bands such as New Order, The Cure, Morrissey both with and without The Smiths, Duran Duran and The Cars. Other influences include Lou Reed, U2, David Bowie and Oasis.

Towards the end of 2005, The Killers also released the album on 7" vinyl in a box set of 11 discs. On side A of each disc is the album track and on the B-side are non-album tracks. It is also one of the five most recent albums listed as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The magazine Rolling Stone ranked Hot Fuss as the 43rd best album in their 100 Best Albums of the Decade list.
