Description

Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Karen O (vocals); Nick Zinner (guitar, drum machine); Brian Chase (drums). Producers: David Andrew Sitek, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Recorded at Headgear, Brooklyn, New York. Punky New York scions the Yeah Yeah Yeahs may have been strapped with an unfortunate albatross by receiving Next Big Thing status in the wake of the supernova explosion of the Strokes, the White Stripes, et al. However, if one hasn't already heard either of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs excellent Touch & Go EPs or witnessed one of the outfit's electric live shows, one listen to FEVER TO TELL should swiftly dispel any doubts about the trio's credibility. Visually outrageous singer Karen O., primal drummer Brian Chase and devilish guitarist Nick Zinner take an artier-than-most approach to the garage-rock world; think the Velvet Underground as channeled through the Fall or Sonic Youth with just a wisp of the Pretenders. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' music explodes in a sea of overt sexuality and frenzied emotion, hinting at hooks and sometimes even getting totally enveloped in them, as on the disarmingly charming "Maps." On the other end of the spectrum lies the raw MC 5 full-on punk-blues of tracks such as "Man" and "Tick." On FEVER TO TELL, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs prove their ability to stand out in a crowd, offering perhaps the most original recording to be hailed in the '00s garage-rock revival.

Press Reviews

...A kick-ass debut that's urgent and, above all else, a hell of a lot of fun. FEVER TO TELL is a post-punk, new wave, anti-pop record that takes giant, hyperactive strides just to be different... CMJ (5/19/03, p.8)

...[Karen] O howls and growls her way through 37 minutes of art-school punk with enough strapped-on swagger to make Mick Jagger blush..." - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (5/2/03, pp.66-69)

4 stars out of 5 - "...The record is full of surprises, roping in all manner of esoteria for a sweaty, beer-splattered and tune-drenched rock'n'roll party that rivals NEVERMIND for balancing the pop sugar with the twisted underbelly and subtle smarts....Blistering... Mojo (5/03, p.90)

4 stars out of 5 - "...They just rock out, stripping New Wave and metal and rockabilly down to primal thrust and blare....The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are closer to Siouxsie and the Banshees (but with a grin) and Led Zeppelin (but with estrogen) than to the blues... Rolling Stone (5/15/03, p.130)

...Yeah Yeah Yeah's debut album kicks out low and hard with a set of intelligently performed rock tunes distinguished by Karen O's smart and smarting lyrics... The Wire (6/03, p.74)

5 stars out of 5 - "...FEVER TO TELL is, quite simply, magnificent....This is as revitalising a debut as could be hoped for... Uncut (5/03, p.92)

    Comments about UNIVERSAL INT'L Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell (Bonus Track):

    This was wished for and totally unexpected.
    I bought this CD after hearing only one Yeah Yeah Yeah's song. I thought I would buy this CD and give them a chance.
    I have been seriously hooked ever since.
    I love the fresh punk sound and the infectious beat. This album stands out against the everyday ho hum that's being regularly turned out by lesser groups.
    The Yeah Yeah Yeah's have turned out a must have album for any Indy Punk Rock lover.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
