Bigger than the sound
E. Kutinsky | Seattle, WA | 11/03/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"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."
Fantastic Band

"
This is a CD I play over and over. It's one of the best new bands I've been able to find in years. They are very peppy, uptempo, fun sounding. The music is hard driving rock (with alternative edge) with great use of sound effects. The female singer is a real delightful joy. The yeah yeah yeahs definitely get your body moving, you can't resist the energy. This is what rock n roll should be all about. A great fun collection of music, enjoy."
Best addiction I've had in years

"This album is proof that I should never listen to people who say a particular CD sucks because it's different from the first one. I loved Fever To Tell, and I lost track of the YYY over the years. Why? Because I listened to those reviews and people. What a fool I was! A few months back, I heard Gold Lion for the first time somewhere, and I had no idea it was YYY. I loved the song, and I was shocked to see it was them. I began to rethink my original decision to avoid the band, and I went out and purchased Show Your Bones. Well, it was the best decision I have made since choosing not to take the blue pill. I have been addicted to this CD for the last 4 months.... seriously. I swear, I have to force myself to put other bands on, because I don't want to be oblivious to other music. Everytime I do though, I go through one or two songs and flip back to this CD. I can't stop listening to it!



Highlights for me? Warrior Warrior Warrior Warrior Warrior!!!!!!! What an amazing piece of music! When she screams "And they're riding in the Back Seat", you feel so much emotion in her! Powerful stuff. This song is perfection. First listening sounds interesting, but repeated listening allows you to peal through its layers and fall in love.



I highly recommend this brilliant work"
