| (EZ-Tracks) - On November 22, the Las Vegas new wavers will release Hot Fuss — for the third time — but in a boxed set format. Most boxed sets come from aging musicians who have hours of unreleased material to share, but The Killers, seeing yet another opportunity to cash in (maybe it has something to do with their hometown), are instead re-re-releasing each song on it's own 7-inch vinyl.
.Hot Fuss originally came out in June of 2004 and already, according to allmusic.com, the band have released 17 records associated with it. They're even re-releasing their three previous unreleased tracks that appeared on the Hot Fuss expanded edition on this new boxed set. Sound confusing? Well it is. After selling 2.6 million copies of their record in the States and playing all over the world you'd think they'd be sick of playing and hearing the same songs over and over again.
According to Billboard.com the band have started working on their next album (likely titled Hot Fuss) that — if they stop systematically killing each and every one of the songs from their debut — should come out sometime in 2006. |
