| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 23: The Killers' Hot Fuss (+ Mezzanine results) |
| CasanovaZelos 08/08/21 11:33:16 AM #9: | The evolving critical reception of Hot Fuss is among the most striking I know - it went from a measly 66 average on Metacritic to the all-time top 1,000 on Acclaimed Music, meaning critics greatly reconsidered its significance. For me, I think the earlier evaluation is closer to the mark. This is the definitive front-loaded album, 5 strong songs followed by a whole bunch of okay. It's not that the back half is bad, but the energy seriously drops off and never recovers - if the singles had been mixed in throughout, maybe it could hold my attention. This is the rare album that is less than the sum of its parts - but three of those parts are at least all-time greats. My ranking: Mr. Brightside (#1144) All These Things That I've Done (#1420) Somebody Told Me (#2443) Jenny Was a Friend of Mine Smile Like You Mean It Midnight Show Change Your Mind Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll Andy, You're A Star On Top Believe Me Natalie Everything Will Be Alright --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ ...
