Yeah Yeah Yeah's ... Oh Yeah!

How great is their new album, Show Your Bones? I've listened to it about three times now, and I think it's a fantastic follow-up to their first album, Fever to Tell. It's a little bit more "produced" and more refined, with a thicker sound, but still pretty lean and very visceral. The rhythms that made the first album so great are still there, the great riffs that keep each song driving forward. They also branch out a bit, with several songs that drift outside of the normal "garage" or punk sound, but still the relatively sparse instrumentation keeps things focused on the rhythm and the melodic drive. A really wonderful album, I highly recommend that you give it a listen!
