Free Music Notes for Yeah Yeah YeahsFree Music Review: Be warned: this isn't the Karen O of "Maps." Hit: 1 Stars10 minutes of music for 10 bucks. It's not even worth that. This is one of those CDs I break into bits after flipping through the tracks. It's put out by jerks who take personal counsel with the devil. It's amazing what people think of as exciting and `fun.' Karen O needs help. Her soulless counterparts can rot in hell for all I care.
Free Music Review: primal Hit: 4 Starsthis is a great EP. very raw and primal but still shows great skills in writing in this genre, as the garage rock genre is very riff based. i would give it a 5 out of 5 but i think the EP lacks consistancy and flow, as it starts off very rock and roll, then goes heavy, then finishes with almost a ballad. definately a well thought out EP.
Free Music Review: Good indie / garage EP Hit: 4 StarsI think this EP has a lot of character. Normally I would only give something like this 3 stars because the musicianship isn't very mature or individualistic, but I give this an extra star for personality and interesting production value. Sounds a lot like the White Stripes, but less provincial and more worldly. I suppose that's the New Yorker element.
Free Music Review: supersonic orgasm Hit: 4 Starsi cannot believe so many people are ripping on the yeahyeahyeahs. i have to conclude that they have bad taste. VERY bad taste. either that, or they're the type of people who have to gripe about something just because it's popular.
but i digress. karen o. gives me hope for the future of music. i actually prefer this ep to their full-length release: songs like "maps" and "modern romance" seem a little schmaltzy to me. as always, karen o's howling, moaning, and screaming as if she's in the midst of the most fantastic orgasm of her life is a delight to listen to. the album literally starts with a "bang," then progresses on into the surf rock riffs of "mystery girl." "art star," perhaps my favorite track, is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the pretentious participants of the art world that starts off monotone and ends in throat-wrenching screams.
so, while i agree that in many ways, this band brings nothing new to the table in terms of indy and alternative music, it definitely holds up a fine tradition of hard-rocking bands (like siouxsie and the banshees, as another reviewer pointed out.) with so much pop crap out there, it's nice to know that some bands can still rock out.
Free Music Review: What in God's name am I listening to? Hit: 1 StarsThere's absolutely NOTHING to this music. It's atonal garbage. If you flushed your toilet 50 times and recorded it it would make a better record. I saw these guys live and they were probably the worst band to ever play in front of a live audience. This "music" is a complete waste of your life.
