Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Show Your Bones

Interesting disc. Sometimes I hear The Velvet Underground's Nico in the Yeah Yeah Yeah's lead singer Karen O. Obviously influenced by Sonic Youth, the Violent Femmes and the White Stripes, but uniquely their own -- this disc is brilliant start to finish. You do have to be in the mood for some harmonic dissonance and disturbingly da-da like tunes, but when you are you'll wish your stereo went to 11. Also recommended is their first disc, Fever to Tell.
