    Let's face it, no one else today is making music as cool and original as that of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
  2. Splendid
    60
    The brittle treble-heavy assault is replaced with clarity, greater exploration of texture and more "professional" recording.
  3. Pitchfork
    39
    Machine disappoints on an almost unprecedented number of levels, and its unfortunate length is the least of its problems.

    i love the yeah yeah yeahs, and i'd probably put their first ep and their full-length on any list of my favourite albums. but machine is just a mess -- 1 good song, and a few stabs at a more experimental sound that fall completely flat. go for their other stuff, and avoid this at all costs.… Expand
