On their EPs, the Yeah
Yeah Yeahs grew considerably, moving from the arty yet anthemic garage
punk of their self-titled EP to Machine's angular urgency. Fever to
Tell, their first full-length and major-label debut, also shows growth,
but for the first time the band doesn't sound completely in control of
the proceedings. Their EPs were masterful studies in contrast and
economy, balancing just the right amounts of noise, melody, chaos, and
structure within 15 to 20 minutes. At 37 minutes long, Fever to Tell
sounds, at different times, scattered and monotonous. Most of this is
due to poor sequencing -- the album opens with some of the raunchiest
noise the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have ever recorded, then abruptly changes
gears and delivers a kitchen sink's worth of pretty ballads and
experimental pieces. Both the old and new sides of the band's sound
offer brilliant and frustrating moments: "Rich" is a sneering
sugar-mommy story; "Black Tongue," which features the great lyric "let's
do this like a prison break," is almost Hasil Adkins-esque in its
screwed-up sexuality and rockabilly licks. "Date with the Night," a
rattling, screeching joy ride of a song, combines Karen O's unearthly
vocals, Nick Zinner's ever-expanding guitar prowess, and Brian Chase's
powerful drumming in dynamic ways. Not so good are the insanely noisy
"Man" and "Tick," which have enough volume and attitude to make the
Kills and Jon Spencer turn pale, but also sound like they're coasting on
those qualities. The moody, romantic songs on Fever to Tell are the
most genuine. "Pin" and "Y Control" have a bittersweet bounciness, while
the unabashedly gorgeous, sentimental "Maps" is not only among the
band's finest work but one of the best indie/punk love songs in a long,
long time. Along with "Modern Romance," a pretty but vaguely sinister
meditation on the lack thereof, these songs compensate for some of Fever
to Tell's missteps (such as "No No No," a lengthy, halting mishmash of
punk and dubby experimentalism). Perhaps they should've included some of
their tried-and-tested songs from their EPs, but for a group this
mercurial, that would probably be stagnation. Though this is their debut
album, Fever to Tell almost feels like a transitional release; they're
already rethinking their sound in radical ways. Even when they're
uneven, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are still an exciting band.
