** This album takes heavy influence from British post-punk and indie rock, which is likely part of the reason the band blew up in the UK. Though not as drastic of a turn as some other bands' early sound switches, The Killers did take a more Americana-inspired turn later on. The album ending with "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll" is {{Foreshadowing}} for the band's desire to move beyond that sound.

!! Tracklist:
# "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" (4:04)
# "Mr. Brightside" (3:43)
# "Smile Like You Mean It" (3:54)
# "Somebody Told Me" (3:17)
# "All These Things That I've Done" (5:01)

# "Everything Will Be Alright" (5:45)
# "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll" (4:14)[[note]]Vinyl-exclusive track in the US, replaces "Change Your Mind" on UK and Australian versions of the album[[/note]]
!! Tropes in this album:
* AntiLoveSong: A running theme through the album: A lot of songs here deal with the emotional turmoil that comes with romantic jealousy.
* ConceptAlbum: At least two songs on the album, "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" and "Midnight Show", are officially linked together as describing the murder of a woman by her jealous lover. That has encouraged fans to try and link the rest of the album to that theme as well.
* RockstarSong: "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll", written in response to frustration with being saddled with a limiting "indie rock" label.
