It's hard to listen to Maps and ignore it. This band's been buzzing in my mind long time ago but I finally visited the whole Fever to Tell for the very first time and just realized how great they are. Like those tings you regret should have been done before for the joy of ourselves.
As soon as you start Rich makes a perfect introduction followed by Date with the Night and then you know that this three-member band is far beyond from just good. Song by song you take a ride through a marvelous stage where guitar chords, well performed drumming and a out-of-this-world splendid orgasmic voice set the structures of this outstanding album.
And just to settle down your emotions Modern Romance takes the post for a good bye folks and we hoped you'd like it.
And yes, it worked out perfectly.

I heard "show your bones" before i heard this debut by the yeah yeah yeahs, and i can safely say this is the better of the two. Karen O can almost be given the title of the next iggy pop, almost. That being said this is a great new age rock record, especially "y control"

i am just a recent fan of the band and the first time i heard one of there songs (maps) i was sitting in my empty lounge late at night, there was noone at home and the light was turned off, i was watching t.v and i flicked the channel over to c4 and the song maps had just started, the very moment i heard the electric guitar thn the drums i was hooked i thought it couldnt possibly get much better than this, but then i was hit with karens voice and i felt an electric surge pass through my body, i fell the depth of every song on this album and it hits me everytime as i fall into a utopia land of music.

When I first heard the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it was a real treat. I first heard them by means of the outstanding single "Maps" and I was hooked. When I bought the album I was pretty much in love with it nd I would say this got me in the whole garage-rock/New Wave revival. Every song is an adrelized blast of punk and it gets me moving, especially the song "Date With the Night" with Karen O just yelping the vocals like on other great songs like "Rich", "Man", "Tick and etc. It been too long since Fever To Tell, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs need to release that new album because I cannot wait any longer.

A true kick to the gut. Occupying a territory somewhere in between Patti Smith and Siousxe and The Banshees, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frist full length LP is a bit of refershing and unpretentious New York garage rock. The treat though is the (for them) low key Maps, with its beautifully layred guitar playing and steady rhytem, while lead singer Karen O entotes that: They don't love you/like I love you.
