Product Description: Well before the release of this solid but slender debut, the Brooklyn-based Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the subject of so much international press hype that the White Stripes were probably taking quick, nervous peeks over their shoulders. But while Fever to Tell captures a lot of what's good about the trio--mostly the caterwauling energy of their club shows--it also exposes the band's limitations. Singer Karen O is the undeniable star here, contorting her voice from a primal P.J. Harvey growl to the pre-orgasmic purr of Chrissie Hynde. Nick Zinner chops, slashes, and torpedoes his guitar around, across, and straight at O's voice, while drummer Brian Chase delivers a suitably raw trash-can thump. There are a lot of cool sounds on this 11-song, 37-minuute disc, and enough metallic-KO attitude to make a bare-chested grandpa like Iggy Pop proud. What's missing is a more varied set of fully fleshed-out songs, the kind it took the White Stripes four albums to write. Hype too early in a career can be terrible burden--ask Liz Phair or, soon enough, the Vines. Better to enjoy Fever to Tell for what it is--an uninhibited blast of garage-rock fury--without swallowing extravagant claims for a potentially great band still under construction. --Keith Moerer

Customer Reviews
I rather like this...
What's up with that band name really? Oh well... It's not like YYY's is a band that sounds like they have invented the deep plate. But what they do, they'll do pretty damn good. Each of the band members are gifted, and then I can forgive that they maybe/maybe not carry a "secret member".
A decent album for party, or relaxing or whatever...

Ever get that feeling....
that no one seems to take a risk and do something different? Well, this will take that feeling away. This band is absolutely awesome. And for all those people who say this is the "worst album they have ever heard", just look at all the other reviews they've submitted and see the garbage they like.

OH YEAH!!!!
This is an interesting CD. If you're a fan of the punk genre or are just looking for a new sound -- BUY THIS CD.
The female vocalist has a really intriguing presentation. She growls, howls -- and carries a tune. Some of the songs are very catchy (my favorites are trak 1, maps and y control).
The best aspect of this band is the female singer. She is different (to say the least) and she carries it off so well. I never get tired of her vocals. I'm always interested in female singers that can actually sing and that have a strong presentation and she excels in those areas (in my opinion).
If you like strong female vocalists and engaging punk rock, this CD won't disappoint.

Awesome album
Creative, aggresive, original. Highly recommended if you like bands that start with THE (stripes, vines, etc)
