MikeTMay 9, 2006If you liked anything about Fever to Tell then you will NOT like Show Your Bones. The passion of the music, the amazing vocals by Karen O, and the alternating grinding and crying guitar are all gone, replaced by pop-influenced, watered-down rock. No punk, no spirit, no flavor. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs as you know it are dead.

chrissMar 31, 2006Very disappointing. Sounds like generic indie rock now whereas before they had something different going for them. Too Cat Power-y. Boo!

KurtCobainApr 4, 2006Saying the album sounds like Cat Power is giving it too much credit. It sounds more like Jack Johnson.
