    All but the last couple songs sound the same. Why does she need to distort her voice if she can truly sing??

    You guys must have heard a different record. The band does not deserve all they hype they're receiving, nor all the acclaim the critics are shoveling their way. They put out monotonous, unimaginative pseudo-punk propped-up by Karen O's sneer and swagger. And frankly, the whole thing is a bore. Strip away "maps," and all you have is another lame White Stripes knockoff novelty You guys must have heard a different record.

    "Maps" is a great love song, but the rest of this album is just a noise rock album striving to fit into the hipster sense of cool. Do not buy this record.

    Capable punk rock with a slightly skuzzy, yet unmistakably pop edge.

    While not quite the epochal showing demanded by its creation, the album holds out an impressive range with a few different directions to follow.

    The songs on Fever to Tell swerve like they're being followed by the police, constantly changing and transforming. [May 2003, p.124]
