  • Summary: The New York trio's short but highly anticipated sophomore set--which features a mellower, more polished sound--was produced by Squeak E Clean and mixed by Alan Moulder.

    The best thing about the second Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is the fact that it defies expectations, yet seems like the perfectly logical next step for such an adventurous band. [Apr 2006, p.81]
  2. Thankfully, Bones is neither a heated-up knock-off of Fever To Tell nor a fan-alienating abandonment of their signature sound. It is instead, a supremely confident 12-song cut that has a remarkable weightiness.

    They're after something different here--it's just not as good as what they've left behind. [Apr 2006, p.110]

    Really good album. Great follow-up to Fever To Tell. It amazes me how they've evolved as a band.

    Very sour sophomore album. Trying too hard to fit with other things that are popular right now. Karen may as well join Tegan and Sara, she sounds enough like them now. Expand

    Saying the album sounds like Cat Power is giving it too much credit. It sounds more like Jack Johnson.
