What in God's name am I listening to?

There's absolutely NOTHING to this music. It's atonal garbage. If you flushed your toilet 50 times and recorded it it would make a better record. I saw these guys live and they were probably the worst band to ever play in front of a live audience. This "music" is a complete waste of your life.

to the "rip off" review, not a rip off

take any group, and search long enough and you'll find something that sounds similar. The Yeah Yeah Yeah's belong to a genre of music that is long established, definitely nothing new, but they have their own distinct sound and personality. So before you decide to share any more of your stupid comparisons please first realize that they'll be irrelevant, cause you just don't know your stuff kid.

buy it already

If you are intersted in the yeah yeah yeah's this album is defianly a good way to start off...
1. Bang - a song that will make you fall in love with karen o's voice instantly & youll defiantly feel an urge to sing & dance too, its a great way to start off the ep.
2. Mystery Girl - now this song will not only inspire you to sing along & dance too but also will make you feel as is if you must keep listening & find out more about this wonderous band.
3. Art Star - it starts out much like 1 & 2 but than she begans growling/screaming 'art star'... i enjoy the song & find it very useful for letting out frustration. also it gives the album a bit more diversity which brings it together very nicely.
4. Miles Away - this is a very pleasant song that will probably become one of your favorites, but than again theyll all probably be your favortie... it gives you a sense of triumph a real good feel-good song.
5. Our Time - also a feel-good song, if your feeling sad this will defiantly bring you up... its a very nice way to end the ep.

So, once you listen to this throughly, & theres no doubt youll enjoy it, than you should pick up 'fever to tell' there most recent album, yeha youll love it, enjoy.

New and refreshing

One of the most original bands I've heard in a long time. This is one of those albums I just cannot stop playing. The Yeah Yeah Yeah's have that touch of 80's punk to them that brings out some nostalgia, but they are NOT an imitation band. The bring originality by the boat load. Be the first kid on your block to be able to say "yeah, I've been listening to them for a while." Because I have a feeling these guys are only going to get bigger.

The Most Original Band of the New Millennium

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a superb mix of The Gang of Four, The Velvet Underground, Mazzy Star and The Pretenders, with their own original twist to make the mix new and fresh. Karen O's vocals are compelling, and perfectly matched by the spare back up of the guitarist and drummer. The EP is brilliant, and superbly recorded; all the cuts are excellent, but my favorites are probably BANG and OUR TIME. Why on earth can't these folks get a major label deal? Why aren't they ruling the charts? Without a doubt, the most original pop band to come along since the early Ramones and Stooges, and a band that should be experienced live if at all possible. Without a doubt, this is one of the most influential and important groups in recent memory; an essential purchase.

the white stripes ain't got nothing on this.

screaming chicks are so much cooler than screaming dudes. let's just get that out of the way.

this EP embodies everything that anyone who listened to punk rock in the 80s, before it got all sold out and nasty, loves. gritty guitars, no production, screaming, and a seriously solid drumbeat (thanks to brian chase, who is the most amazing drummer i've ever heard). while "art star" is the song that is getting press hype, the rest of the tracks on the disc even blow it away. i would have to say that this is one 'indie darling' album which not only lives up to its hype, but surpasses it.

plus, these guys are just super-cool. yeah yeah yeah yeah.
