I've just read a review saying that "It's like they heard the White Stripes and decided they could do the same, [... and] dialled the oddest, most manic bits up to 11." but in a bad way. I can't disagree, but in a good way. It's fun, we're hit by a huge wall of noise while listening to this record, it's not revolutionary but it's 4 stars indie garage pop punk (or whatever). Much better than most of the insufferable garage bands of the time. Yeah Yeah Yeah (Yeahs).
Well, this was a lot of fun. Female fronted pop punk, with fuzzed out guitars and even more fuzzed out vocals, tracing a direct line from bands like the Pretenders and Siouxie and the Banshees. It’s not revolutionary or going to change the world in any way, but sometimes you just want something that hits all of the right notes without trying too hard. The highlight for me was the song No, No, No which is very appropriate for the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.
