Free Music Review: now appearing at the Star Wars cantina
Hit: 5 Stars
The import edition of "Fever To Tell" adds "Yeah! New York" and a video of "Date With The Night." "Maps" and "Y Control" have a different sound than the rest of the album, which is kind of like if Jimmy Page drank a case of cough syrup.
I don't know why I like this band. I usually listen to hard bop jazz, vintage '60s dinosaur rock, some '80s New Wave bands, and a little punk like The Ramones (who can forget "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and "The KKK Took My Baby Away"?).
But every now and then when surfing past MTV I'll hear a few bars of something and like it enough to pick it up. I don't think the YYYs have a lot of financial backing, so I try to buy what they put out. They've released 3 short CDs, 2 EPs, and a handful of singles.
The reviews of their DVD range from "masterpiece" to "horrible." I'll wait and see if they stay together long enough to make another.
Fever to Tell Poster
The UK edition of the New York trio and U.K. critical fave's debut album includes a track not found on the U.S. version, "Yeah! New York", plus this disc includes enhanced material, including the video of "Date With The Night".Well before the release of this solid but slender debut, the Brooklyn-based Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the subject of so much international press hype that the White Stripes were probably taking quick, nervous peeks over their shoulders. But while Fever to Tell captures a lot of what?s good about the trio--mostly the caterwauling energy of their club shows--it also exposes the band?s limitations. Singer Karen O is the undeniable star here, contorting her voice from a primal P.J. Harvey growl to the pre-orgasmic purr of Chrissie Hynde. Nick Zinner chops, slashes, and torpedoes his guitar around, across, and straight at O?s voice, while drummer Brian Chase delivers a suitably raw trash-can thump. There are a lot of cool sounds on this 11-song, 37-minuute disc, and enough metallic-KO attitude to make a bare-chested grandpa like Iggy Pop proud. What?s missing is a more varied set of fully fleshed-out songs, the kind it took the White Stripes four albums to write. Hype too early in a career can be terrible burden--ask Liz Phair or, soon enough, the Vines. Better to enjoy Fever to Tell for what it is--an uninhibited blast of garage-rock fury--without swallowing extravagant claims for a potentially great band still under construction. --Keith Moerer
