Yeah Yeah Yeahs Nothing Special

Dan Aquilante of the New York Post reviewed the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gig on Wednesday night at Manhattan’s Irving Plaza. He says the show “was OK, but it didn’t leave you feeling you’d seen anything special.” Aquilante added of singer Karen O: “Throughout the evening, all O’s vocals came from the back of her throat, requiring her to grimace as she sang. It’s not a pretty sound or a pretty sight. It’s also not what you expect after listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ full-length debut album that offers vocal variety beyond gagging.” The full review at nypost.com has since been removed.
