Free Music Review: This is the Best Yeah Yeah Yeah album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I own all of the Yeah Yeah Yeah albums and this one is by far the best! Each song has it's own feel and melody. They are original, rockin', fun to listen to, and I would suggest this album to anyone.Free Music Review: Karen O is hawt
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an awesome cd, and I'm not going to bore you with a long review of how the first sound of the chord of the beat shifts and roars throughout the damn cd, just pick it up and listen to it. It's packed. I like it more than "Fever To Tell" But, you be the judge! Free Music Review: Excellent alt/punk rock album
Hit: 5 Stars
I've heard a couple of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' songs on the radio (Sirius) and decided to try an entire album. It was a great decision.
Lots of bands have trouble putting together 10 or 15 good songs and paying $20 for an album with one or two hits makes me cringe so I was very glad when I found myself replaying this one a few times. I found some great new songs that I hadn't heard before like Way Out and Turn Into, and I loved hearing my initial favorites, Phenomena, Gold Lion, and Cheated Hearts. The bonus track on this import version, Deja Vu, is decent but probably not worth the extra $10 for most people.
For those new to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs you can expect a fairly eclectic mix of vocal and guitar rock with a decent amount of production/electronic sound. Karen O's unusual voice hits some terrific notes and tones that really call out the emotion in the lyrics. Almost every song has a few good rythms and tonal changes that work well to focus your attention. The melody of Cheated Hearts is one of my favorites and really sounds great to me no matter how many times I hear it.
Definitely expect that raw, garage rock feeling with Karen's voice occasionally hitting a raw note. This is not Norah Jones' style :-).
Overall, great album and a must buy for any fan of modern indie rock.
Free Music Review: cool, rough rock
Hit: 4 Stars
It's hard to create a new sound in rock these days, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs manage to do it on this albumn. The rough overdriven guitar, straightforeward drumming, and raspy vocals all combine beautifully to create this unique sound. In exploring new indie rock, this one is a real find.Free Music Review: YYY's second LP shows depth & growth.
Hit: 4 Stars
Ever since I heard them a few years ago, I've been hooked on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I first heard the diverse and fun Fever To Tell, and while that didn't have a lot of depth, it didn't really need it. It's one of those that sold because of how much it rocked. I recently got around to the debut EP, which was also quite good as well. On this album, lots is added that wasn't quite as present as on the other albums.
Karen O kind of reminds me of Tegan and/or Sara on some of the tracks. She does a lot more singing on here and less yelping than in previous times, but it's not a boring record. I think "Honeybear" sounds like the "old" YYY's. I've always enjoyed Nick Zinner's guitar riffs and some of the stuff here is actually quite interesting. For one thing, half of the lyrics are cryptic, like stream of consciousness tracks. Then you get the ones about unrequited love like "Cheated Hearts," one of the album's finest tracks, if not the finest.
Songs like "The Sweets" show an added musical depth. The track is simple, yet I like how it all flows together on the track. It sort of sounds like a demo, actually, but one mastered to CD quality. This one also emphasizes the group's new wave influences more than the previous works. There's really no filler on here.
I remembered being really crushed last fall when I missed out on seeing them. Oh well, there's the records to make up for the lacked experience. This record makes me still interested in whatever comes next from the group. Judging by this record, they'll be around for awhile.
