Free Music Notes for Show Your Bones
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.
Free Music Review: A bummer of a follow-up.
Hit: 3 Stars
Buy the first album instead.
This one is alright...but lazier.Fever To Tell
Free Music Review: So far their best album.
Hit: 5 Stars
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have provided a sound different than other bands. This is the second, and in my opinior far superior album. Even my friend who said they hated the Yeah Yeah Yeah's heard a song and said they loved it. I definately reccomend it.Free Music Review: Something like a phenomena
Hit: 4 Stars
The Yeah Yeah Yeah's are a band that rides mostly on their personality. More specifically, on that of Karen O. Her various styles of singing, from emotive singing on the acoustic "Warrior" to the rock bark of "Gold Lion," Karen leads the YYY's like few women other than Chrissie Hynde. But just a front woman does not a band make, and Karen's bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner make enough variations of racket behind her to make "Show Your Bones" a distinctive CD.
There are also a few great songs to be found here. In addition to the aforementioned "Warrior" and "Gold Lion," there is the snazzy "Phenomena" and the catchy album closer "Turn Into." Not quite as slick as Garbage or as classic as The Pretenders' best work, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are somewhere between the two, and inching towards brilliance.
