The Killers have produced a nice debut with "Hot Fuss." Although it is nothing new, I suppose its good there is a resurgence of this type of music than other types. New-wave? Pretty much 100% new-wave. That's the problem, its an exploration in this style - not outside of this style - not pushing the envelope. This said there are some high quality and original tracks on this record, like "Mr Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" is a fine example of a pop single. However, the vocals on the remainder of the album just don't exite me at all. Dare I say, the vocals of Flower's border on the brink of boring in some tracks, just like some tracks lack intensity.
However, it is a debut. Improvement is possible and probable.
