THE REVIEW
I see on Debaser a very recent review of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs present here (regarding the previous album "Fever To Tell" from 2003), so I feel like reviewing the latest one, fresh off the press "Show Your Bones", which reconfirms them as one of the most vibrant and interesting acts coming from the Big Apple.
Their rock is always the same, hints of Strokes, a note or two of Interpol, a pinch of Sonic Youth, but on the whole an interesting and enjoyable album, after all it's only rock'n'roll...
You might notice a certain extra relaxation compared to the intensity of the previous album, like in the starting tracks "Gold Lion" and "Way Out" with west coast influences that reminded me in the singing of bands like the Bangles and Go-Go's, but don't worry, it then moves to a nice streak where the speed and power make us want to start moving and the adrenaline present in the previous album begins to resurface unstoppably.
You then relax with the rarefied, country-blues atmospheres just enough, but with the punk streak that characterizes the group's background, of "The Sweets" and "Warrior", concluding with a "Turn Into" that starts almost like an Eagles track (oh, my God), but transforms into a great ballad, a worthy finale that raises the album's rating by at least a star.

"Show Your Bones is what happens when you stick your fingers into the power socket."
Gold Lion represents a peak that soon turns into the edge of an abyss.
By Fuzz
A pure and simple example of a TRUE band that vomits all its soul when it picks up a guitar, hits the drums, and copulates with the microphone.
Their punk and iconoclastic soul has never abandoned them, but lives and feeds within their bodies.
By CRAVESTMAN
From the very first listen, it fills your mind with strong sensations and moves you like never before.
Karen proves she is not just a stage beast as we've known her, but also an artist who can express her emotions in a more calm manner.
