Madrigal 2,611 Posted February 21, 2013 http://pitchfork.com/news/49650-yeah-yeah-yeahs-to-release-new-single-on-monday/ the cover is...interesting. What do you mean, "interesting?" Simply by not being the actual album artwork, it is intrinsically a massive improvement. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,171 Posted February 25, 2013 The album and single cover are both so early 2000s computer programming cheesy shit, kind of in love. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewby 9,215 Posted February 25, 2013 I actually really don't care for it. The choir is fine but if this is the best they have, I'm lowering my expectations for the record. You spend the entire song waiting for something to take off and it's just stagnant. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You spend the entire song waiting for something to take off and it's just stagnant. But the build-up...AND THE PAY-OFF. This shit is anthemic, I can think of some reasons someone might dislike it but being stagnant is not one of them. I don't know I'm stanning hard right now but I don't think it's bias, the chorus as the song goes on just bulldozes me. I mean they've done like 5 songs live that you could check out I suppose. "Mosquito" is good Keep listening 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like "Dull Life" meets "Fancy" passed through a "Modern Things" filter. I couldn't have asked for more. P.S. I'm willing to hand out downloads since it's not available to purchase yet and I want to get people on my level of stanning. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Nitrous Batcave" is a confirmed title, but it's also supposed to be the song with Dr. Octagon, so maybe they changed the title? Otherwise bonus track for sure. Of which there are 4? Finally, this is so great. They mentioned a song about alien invasion, I thought that would have been "Earth" but looks like it's probably "Area 52". 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,171 Posted February 26, 2013 Okay the bonus tracks are just alternate versions Actually their acoustic songs are usually fantastic so you win some, you lose some. Looks like Nitrous Batcave definitely got a name change. But here we are: 01 Sacrilege02 Subway03 Mosquito04 Under the Earth05 Slave06 These Paths07 Area 5208 Buried Alive [ft. Dr. Octagon]09 Always10 Despair11 Wedding Song 12 Subway (NOLA Demo) 13 Wedding Song (Acoustic) 14 Despair (Acoustic) 15 Mosquito (Live from YYYs Bunker Studio) And "Sacrilege" is now available on iTunes! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitar 22,171 Posted March 1, 2013 I really love Sac. The choir took me back to my Baptists church roots. Give me tea YYYs. Good :come: If you had told me a year ago that someday I'd be channeling Aretha during a YYYs song I would have spat in your food. And here we are. Okay so its semi-apparent that the band is getting a little domesticated with a title like "Wedding Song" and there aren't gonna be any more songs about dick size (of which they have two ), but I'm ready to be able to wed to a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song. READY. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,171 Posted March 10, 2013 Fucking "Warrior" and "The Sweets" though To listen to one without the other is just blasphemy I know they're going upbeat and Karen is married and a track called "Despair" has been called uplifting but I need more gut-wrenching emotional stuff like this. I guess that means that Show Your Bones will always be special. You know, with all their various successful directions, they sure make it easy to be a fan 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
