Show Your Bones (CD)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[Cover]

Label: Interscope Released: 2006

The trio from Brooklyn finally return with an impressive new album. Says the band's website, "Show Your Bones is what happens when you put your finger in a light socket. Maybe there is some of that electric current flowing through the tracks of our album illuminating us from the inside out for you to laugh at and cry to or fry to. Or not."

User Reviews

	Angela - New York, NY, United States
Karen O's spontaneous voice captures the rockish vibe of Show Your Bones. You could listen to this band wherever you go, and mostly in New York City, it's the perfect place to listen to it. Nick, the guitarist, shows fun, yet hard, chords, that make you want to dance crazy and sing along with the ironic yet cool lyrics.

Show Your Bones can exist on its merits, but the newfound reservations it brings about simply do not compliment the band. Where Fever To Tell reveled in the buildup of dirt, blood, and any number of other bodily fluids under the band's nails, Show Your Bones is too afraid of being exposed to an infection. I don't know about anyone else, but I want my Yeah's loud, outrageous, and unrestrained. This 2006 incarnation just has me saying Alright Alright Alright.

This record is proof that things can go nowhere but down after MTV starts plugging you. The energy is gone, the commercial sound is in. What a bunch of sellouts!

I was pretty disappointed with this album. Technically, it's good, but it lacks the grit and glamour that their original sound had. While I'm glad that they are evolving as a band, quite frankly I was bored listening to it - it's over produced, and seems forced.

I'll have to be the conflicting review here. My opinion may be assumed as bias or personal preference but, its good to get a view from both sides. This is an album definitely worth getting, dont get me wrong, I got it the day it was released. If you are a fan of their first album 'Fever To Tell' this one might seem toned down and cleaner. (Sidenote: the producer is Squeak E. Clean. his brother is Spike Jonze. Spike Jonze used to be Karen O's boyfriend.) The music on the album is fantastic but, there are moments that I feel like maybe the music was forced to be slower than the musicians would have intended. Unfortunately, Karen O seems to have become obsessed with her role in the band and how she thinks she has the hardest job in the band. In an interview she discussed how much pressure it is that she has to constantly think about what the best YYY's song would be and about doing the best YYY's album etc... apparently, her and Nick Zinner (guitarist/keyboards) aren't friends anymore. They used to share an apartment and now they dont even talk. Also, Nick and drummer Brian Chase wanted to record the album the same way they did the first one - on an eight track in one of their living rooms etc. But, Karen O said she had to think about what was best for her and therefore they ended up in the studio with a very produced sound. All of this adds up to the lack of chemistry and electricity that was so present on their first album. Karen O's vocals aren't as compelling and her lyrics are definitely not shocking and interesting like they were on 'Fever To Tell.' It's a good album. It's great to listen to and I like it. I guess that my standards for them were based so high because of their previous work. Don't get me wrong, it's good for a band to change and evolve but, to get a good result they have to BE a band.

Allow me to sit straight up in this funny chair. Take a look into the springtime outside my office window. It's lonely. There is something in my iPod, there is a voice that reminds me of lovely Chrissy Hynde, the perfect pitch, the perfect dose of sweetness and the perfect roughness to make a song like "Mysteries" the reinvention of present-time-flashbacks. Yes, in 2006 you are listenining to an album with a track that has the feel of 1970 punk leaning towards the shy side because it isn't THAT punk. It's the thing with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, they came into the world with every aspect of the history of punk rock on their backs. They performed in the rock-you, fuck you, to hell with you kind of way, they destroyed stages, and the lead singer played the part (or did she?). The Yeah Yeah Yeah's almost broke up, in the process they made Show your bones which contains an interesting mixture of elements: You have the old yeah yeah yeahs in the track "Phenomena", you have the perfect pop-rock song, in "Cheated Hearts", the more crafted and enjoyable "Dudley" and even a live postcard of acoustic sympathy with "Turn Into". Lyrics pour beside you like a puzzle emptied on a table, the whole thing becomes a final picture to hang on your favorite wall. It is the closest thing to present tense in music. Her voice is wonderful. It is a good album, it works because it was probably done with a lot of things against it, so when the final cut was made there was nothing else to show for it but raw talent, good songs, a good band. Did we expect this? Probably not. We were probably expecting a harder sound, a crazier Karen O, with a "Maps" thrown in somewhere. Instead we got a musically superior piece of work. This album is to be listened to, not in an office like me, but in your car, high speed, windows up, blissfully ignoring the world you left a block behind.

This is definitely going to be one of the best albums of the year, if not the best. Yeah Yeah Yeahs have completely surpassed my expectations and made me fall in love with them all over again. If you already love Yeah Yeah Yeahs, you won't be disappointed. If you've never listened to them before, this album is amazing. Get it. Look for my flag in the booklet!!! It's on the ''Fancy'' page, the long one on the far right!

I love love love this album. It totally rocks. I just got it and have been listening to it non stop. Honestly I dont think there is one song on there that i do not like. Gold Lion, Dudley they are all awesome. You will be pleasantly surprised how great this album is.

All the screeching, hand clapping, car alarm beats necessary to land 'Show Your Bones' in my top 10 of '06. Possibly cooler than 'Fever to Tell' but just as angular, arty and awesome as we're accustomed to from the YYYs. Despite being more uniformly solid, I'm still not sure 'Warrior' is the new 'Maps.' But then again, I thought 'Modern Romance' was going to be the 'Maps' from the last album. Maybe some Spike Jonze fake sno-globe business would have done the trick. Now I want to hear Diplo remix the whole album and send this back out as a double disc.
