Leicester Square (The Best Of Yeah Yeah Noh) - Yeah Yeah Noh

OH YEAH

Advantages: innovative alt-rock made with just drums and guitar.
Disadvantages: only five tracks, but then it is an ep

When The Strokes made the world's music press go mad over any band that happened to work within a hundred miles of New York it was painfully obvious that we'd have to put up with plenty of pale imitations of the Velvet Underground and a thousand poor versions of Sonic Youth. So when I first heard of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, a painfully hip New York three piece speciallising in scratchy art rock, I was expecting to hate them.All pretension and hype and no substance, no magic.Then I heard the music and I couldn't have been more wrong.Because like The Strokes and fellow New Yorkers The John Spencer Blues Explosion (both of whom the band have supported), the Yeah Yeah Yeah's know that the first rules of rock are to be loud, aggresive and sexy as hell.Combining Nick Zinner's art-punk guitars, Karen O's visceral screech and Brian Chase's well ...

Review of Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

One of 2009s Best

Advantages: Awesome album with some real strong tracks on
Disadvantages: one filler at end

First album 'Fever to Tell' (released 2003) spawned popular singles 'Date with the night', 'Maps' and 'Pin'.

Review of It's Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

YEAH YEAH YEAHS = YEAH :D

Advantages: Good album for anyone
Disadvantages: None i can think of

I am a huge fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or YYYs and this album makes me like them even more as the papers and magazines quote "the album of the year" for me it is. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a small not huge band from new york who's music is across the world and are currently doing a world tour. The album has never been hige with the biggest tracks maps *brings a tear to your eye" and Date with the night. There first album self titled only contains 5 tracks but its a great way to get you into the yeah yeah yeahs as its sort of a little taster with such tracks like bang and the very loud art star. Followed by these were a couple of small mini albums such as machine then came there full lengh album Fever to tell. Whihc included maps and date with the night along with modern romance and more. A must have album for anyone. Then finally ...
