Experience Glamorous Rock ~n~ Roll!
When listening to this album, all the songs have something interesting to offer the average rock music lover. While many groups and bands make a trademark for being grungy, rebellious, gothic-rock, or just plain pop/rock then comes a new world of music and style; The Killers! The different projection of sound, lyrical quality, and looks are sure to attract many. The added bonus songs for this Tour Edition along with the added DVD disc, obi-stip, and lyrics make this a must for die-hard fans!

There are varying styles that include all types of instruments from drums, synthesizers, to electric guitars, and bass. Most of the songs have little stories that range from love, imaginations, and fantasies to dark scenarios, and much drama! My personal top favorite songs are: SOMEBODY TOLD ME for the sound and lyrics, MR. BRIGHTSIDE for the drama and style, MIDNIGHT SHOW for the references to love, and UNDER THE GUN for the passionate unattainable romance!

If you would like to know if the bonus tracks are worth the purchase, I can say they do make a difference. While GLAMOROUS INDIE ROCK & ROLL has less popularity, the other 2 songs are quite complimentary to the album. THE BALLAD OF MICHAEL VALENTINE tells a tale of traveling to many places and comparing the moments to the buzz of Marlon Brando, the buzz of Greta Garbo and later how he ends up: "With your new suit and your black tie, hold on, you're just a gambling man. . . I broke to the right, and caught your eye, shut your mouth and wave goodbye. . . I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade. " This has the typical mystery, drama, and glamour to capture interest along great sounding vocals and music. The favorite among many would be the added bonus track UNDER THE GUN. It is quite enchanting and glamorous in making the themes to be quite dramatic. Women can be so hard to predict and this song displays how the guy feels that only the girl can set him free. As the music intensifies he yells, "Because Heaven sends, and Heaven takes. . . keeps him tied up to a dream and only she can set him free and then he says to me. . . kill me now [x4]. " There are plenty of drums, fast paced beats, and great catchy hooks. He mentions James Dean in the rain.

The DVD has the following:
1. Somebody Told Me Video [great black & white performance type video]
2. Mr. Brightside [Original Video] [great black & white performance type]
3. Mr. Brightside [New Video] [Popular one many have seen with the New Orleans type setting, beautiful backgrounds, and nice story lines]
4. All These Things That I've Done Video [Nice video with the band walking on the streets and later performing on a stage]

The added bonus songs, DVD videos, lyrics, and excellent music makes this a phenomenal purchase definitely worth buying! If you are not sure which version to buy I'd suggest you hear the samples on the regular one first and then get this one if you like their sound. And if you like what you heard, then you will love the extras found on this Tour Edition!.


You must have it if you are a fan
The product was delivered quickly and completely new an wrapped!!. Very good service. Apart from this, I am a fan of the Killers so I couldn't help buying this special edition, which includes a DVD with the single videos, apart from two songs just included in the special edition cd :). I am sure you will understand me if you are also a fan. . :).


Also Listen To These Guys!!
If you like their sound, I also recommend listening to a similar band called Jupiter One. Hey folks! These guys are great! I've been listening since their first single. They have little bit of a different feel, but are totally in the same vein.

Here's a link to their newest album!

The best edition of Hot Fuss
The most complete edition of all [Hot Fuss + Bonus tracks + DVD: Videos], as simple as that. If you don't have this album yet, this is the edition you have to buy.


A Perfect CD
But if you are looking at this you already know that. I cannot begin to tell you how great this cd is. What you do need to know is the extra cost for the Deluxe Tour Edition is well worth it. The hardcore fans will froth at the addition of the videos but which really makes the cd for all levels of fandom is the addition of three excellent songs. Glamorous Indie Rock n Roll is a superb b side that should have made the final cut to the original album. These extra features are not just addons they really feal as though they are apart of the album flow. .
