I had absolutely no expectations for the album. Yes they rhymes are crap, but occasionally something funny sneaks through and sometimes what i found funny probably wasn't a joke. The Har Mar track is hilarious (and by shortening his name I don't mean to imply I am a fan). I don't really get the worst thing ever thing. Name me reasons why they are so bad and hated. Unless its some vendetta against xgau for loving them up so much. I'd much rather listen to this than the new Beastie Boys album.

Re the "worst thing ever" thing:
Is everybody who writes for Pitchfork this stupid????

Ha Ha! This thread was great. It should be bronzed. I liked the Northern State e.p. I thought it was really funny.

No, both Dan and Spencer like them, as does good friend Stripey, so for me that's usually a good sign. (If all I get is a half-hearted Banshees revival with a worse drummer, though...)

Yeah, I wish the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were weirder; they seem kind of *average* somehow. Especially "Maps" (that's the ballad, right?), which I don't get at all; it really sounds pedestrian to me, and not particularly pretty or catchy either.

I agree with this. (Than the *rock* that gets on the radio, anyway.)
And yeah, Scott likes more "real" metal than I do, probably -- stuff that strikes me as gratuitiously ugly and not sad or beautiful or rock'n'rolling enough. (Though he is right about that Das Oath CD!) (Though I think he calls them "punk," so maybe they don't count.)

Bombastic drums + open fifths + arpeggio-heavy melody = HEAVEN.
It is missing a verse but hey put that fantastic false instrumental verse in there instead.

I enjoyed the YYY's pretty much and when I heard "Maps" right after the album came out I knew it was going to be big...its got the yearning melody etc. I don't care much for the rest of the record aside from "Y Control" probably for the same reasons Chuck doesn't like the group as a whole - except I think Maps and Y Control are exceptions.

Had a weird urge to revisit their music. They are definitely wince-inducing.
