They are good, and Karen, the singer, feels absolutely at home on stage.
For those who haven't seen them live, there's a video of "Isis" on YouTube that speaks volumes. Third album at the same excellent level as the previous ones. A beautiful single "Zero" that kicks it all off. They are from New York but they ride the same wave as the Canadian band Metric.
The Yeahs might be less tight live, but Karen makes up for it with her voice, presence, and charisma. A charisma somewhat lacking in Emily Haines of Metric. The CD is enjoyable from start to finish. However, the band should also be seen live to better appreciate their studio work.
Like Metric, they are now an indie chart-topping band, and a track from their second album even reached the 12th position here in Italy. I don't care much if they chart, quite the contrary... What else to say, they are pretty well known here on Debaser.
If I have preempted someone who might have specialized in the Yeahs, I apologize. But the album deserved it.

Tracklist and Lyrics
05 Heads Will Roll (03:42)
Off with your head
Dance til youre dead
Heads will roll (x3)
On the floor
Glitter on the west streets
Silver over everything
The rivers all wet
Youre all chrome
Dripping with alchemy
Shiver stop shivering
The glitters all wet
Youre all chrome
The men cry out the girls cry out
The men cry out the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no
(repeat)
Off with your head
Dance til youre dead
Heads will roll (x3)
On the floor
You can last
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Realize (x2)
Glitter on the west streets
Silver over everything
The glitters all wet
Youre all chrome
Youre all chrome
Oh oh
Off off off with your head
Dance dance dance til youre dead
Off off off with your head
Dance dance dance til youre dead
Off off off with your head
Dance dance dance til youre dead

Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me

Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton

11 Dragon Queen (04:02)
My mouth, you're touching. Your mouth is running. No loving, for nothing. Nobody knock my body out.
My mouth is blowing right off, I'm so gone. Incoming, out clubbin', not lovin', slow your body down.
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
[4x]
My mouth is touching to your mouth is running. No loving, for nothing. Nobody knock my body out.

12 Hysteric (03:52)
No longer, no longer
What you ask
Strange steps
Heels turned black
The cinders the cinders
They light the path
Of these strange steps
Take us back, take us back
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Oh oh aaayyy
Oh oh ayyee
Hysteric
Oh oh aaayyy
Oh oh ayeee
Hysterical
No wonder no wonder,
Other half, strange steps
Heels turned black.
The cinders they splinter
And light the path
These strange steps
Trace us back trace us back

Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me

13 Zero (04:25)
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on
You're a zero
What's your name? No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
No you're never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on
You're a zero
What's your name? No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?
Was it the cure? Shellshock
Was it the cure? Hope not
Was it the cure? Shellshock
Was it the cure? What's your name?
You're a zero
What's your name? No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?
Was it the cure? Shellshock
Was it the cure? Hope not
Was it the cure? Shellshock
Was it the cure? Hope not
What's your name? What's your name?
What's your name? What's your name?
What's your name? What's your name?
What's your name?
