 Bigger than the sound

| After knowing Show Your Bones for a while now, and knowing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' records that come before and after its release, I've reached two conclusions I can't get away from: 1) this is an album full of definitive songs for one of the great voices of this decade, and 2) the album is overall inconsistent, and not quite fully "there." The songs truly fall into three categories: great, propulsive songs that fully exploit the band's great guitar noise and Karen O's outsize fabulousness, like "Gold Lion," "Cheated Hearts," "Phenomena," "Fancy,"; songs that are pretty fantastic but seem like they could've been done by anyone, like "Dudley," "Way Out," or "The Sweets"; and songs that, frankly, don't get repeated much on my ipod and we probably could've lived without, like "The Warrior," "Turn Into," or, honestly, the oft-performed-live "Honeybear." The good news is, that last class of songs is pretty ignorable and the record would be more than worth owning for the first category alone. In fact, it's not simply that those great Show Your Bones songs fully exploit the YYYs sound, it's that they perfect it - to know and love who the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are is to think of the way a song like "Cheated Hearts" explodes, to love the feral scream that concludes "Mysteries," or to accept "Gold Lion" as one of the indominable great songs of this decade. As a whole album, it's fair to say there are a lot of highs, and that you can forget pretty easily about the need to hit the skip button. |

| Show Your Bones by Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the perfect follow-up album to their smash debut, Fever to Tell. What I like about Show Your Bones is the natural progession of this talented band, the songs are more complex, heartfelt but always brilliant. Karen O has the coolest voice, she reminds me of PJ Harvey and Shirley Manson. The first single, Gold Lion is a flawless rock song, great vocals and a killer hook. Way Out, Warrior, Honeybear, Cheated Hearts, and Dudley are standouts as well. I really enjoyed this whole album, not one bad egg in the bunch. It's Blitz! is also an excellent disc, All their albums sound different which is a good thing, they take risks and the results are stellar. Enjoy this beautiful disc from 2006. |

 room for improvement

The three tracks of interest here are Gold Lion, Cheated Hearts and Way Out. The rest is junk.
Karen O uses the twang in her voice way too often. It would be more effective if she used it less. |

Raw Perfection

| By far one of the best albums I have had the pleasure of owning! One of the few albums I can listen to all the way through, and enjoy every minute of. The others being Led Zeppelin 4, and Nirvana's In Utero. Listen to Dudley, and The Sweets, and tell me that these guys don't have *it*! Awesome effort, being more polished than their first album. But within is pure, unmolested raw sounds. Experimental Rock at its best! |
