Album Description
Japanese pressing includes a bonus track, 'De Ja Vu' and possibly an additional bonus track or enhanced video (TBC). 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. Polydor. 2006.

With Show Your Bones, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs follow up to the heralded Fever to Tell Karen O economizes on the screaming that so marked the trio?s debut EP. And oh how she exceeds her oft-noted influences (PJ Harvey and Chrissie Hynde, for two): Whether she?s hanging back with a staggered beat on "Phenomena," or riding on the kick-drum-pounded opening to "Honeybear," she?s always ready to disappear in a burst of Nick Zinner?s guitars and Brian Chase?s drums. The YYYs thrill precisely because of their keen mix, Karen O spiking the upper ranges (dig the caterwaul in "Mysteries") with a sharply cut vocal line or a simple, full-bodied singsong delivery while the guitars spin thick storms of sound before retreating to atmospherics (try the transition from the quick throttle of "Cheated Hearts" into the Cure-ish "Dudley," for one example). And marvel at how well radio would be served by blasting the acoustic, pleading vibe of "Warrior." Fabulous. --Andrew Bartlett

YYY's Calmed Down A Lil Bit.......... September 8, 2008

Great album, they really sound like they went in a different direction with this one but stuck to thier roots. With more powerful songs like, Warrior (a personal favorite of mine because it sounds like my life) "Cheated Hearts" but they still kept it fun with songs like "Way Out" my other favorite, "Honeybear", "Phenomena". I think they could've left out "Fancy" Though it was the most boring song on the album, since there is so much intensity coming from the them to slow down like that kinda threw me off. Buy this and support a seriously great up and coming band, they deserve it.
 Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! September 5, 2008

This is my first YYY album and I love it!!!! Kinda indie rock meets old garage punk and even some 70's glam. The girl who sings sounds so cool that she could ice the sidewalk with her breath. Great rock n' roll!!!
This is the Best Yeah Yeah Yeah album! March 19, 2008

I own all of the Yeah Yeah Yeah albums and this one is by far the best! Each song has it's own feel and melody. They are original, rockin', fun to listen to, and I would suggest this album to anyone.

This is an awesome cd, and I'm not going to bore you with a long review of how the first sound of the chord of the beat shifts and roars throughout the damn cd, just pick it up and listen to it. It's packed. I like it more than "Fever To Tell" But, you be the judge!
Excellent alt/punk rock album August 30, 2007

I've heard a couple of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' songs on the radio (Sirius) and decided to try an entire album. It was a great decision.
Lots of bands have trouble putting together 10 or 15 good songs and paying $20 for an album with one or two hits makes me cringe so I was very glad when I found myself replaying this one a few times. I found some great new songs that I hadn't heard before like Way Out and Turn Into, and I loved hearing my initial favorites, Phenomena, Gold Lion, and Cheated Hearts. The bonus track on this import version, Deja Vu, is decent but probably not worth the extra $10 for most people.
For those new to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs you can expect a fairly eclectic mix of vocal and guitar rock with a decent amount of production/electronic sound. Karen O's unusual voice hits some terrific notes and tones that really call out the emotion in the lyrics. Almost every song has a few good rythms and tonal changes that work well to focus your attention. The melody of Cheated Hearts is one of my favorites and really sounds great to me no matter how many times I hear it.
Definitely expect that raw, garage rock feeling with Karen's voice occasionally hitting a raw note. This is not Norah Jones' style :-).
Overall, great album and a must buy for any fan of modern indie rock.
