I also enjoyed Hot Fuss at the time too and thought it showed promise but, again, they turned to shit very quickly.
They may have pissed on their chips hipster wise but commercially they got bigger and bigger and bigger, probably only tailing off a little over the last 2 albums.
I agree with The Killers, but then again the masses didn't and Sam's Town was bigger than Hot Fuss and they actually grew as a commercial band despite being dropped by BCB types.
It is Eminem I don't understand, I should check again perhaps it is there, it is a masterpiece by the greatest "flow" rapper since Rakim, he gets over looked because he is white and very commercially successful
