Yeah Yeah Yeahs — Show Your Bones

Ever since the indie scene that spawned the Yeah Yeah Yeahs spurned them following the release of their self-titled EP, they've been on a mission to prove their detractors wrong. Fever To Tell was almost reluctantly well received and ended up producing two hit singles. There will be no reluctance, however, to laud Show Your Bones, a meticulously planned reinvention for the YYYs. On it, Karen O takes her passion from "Maps" and spreads it through the entire record. Nick Zinner uses full instrumentation on "Way Out" and "Cheated Hearts" to give the band a truly awesome sound. The aim was to not make Fever To Tell 2, but somewhere in the process the Yeah Yeah Yeahs made one of the best records of the year.
