Sono bravi, e Karen, la cantante, è una che sul palco ci si trova proprio bene.

Per chi non li ha visti Live c'è su Tube il video di "Isis" che la dice lunga. Terzo album sugli stessi ottimi livelli dei precedenti. Un bellssimo singolo "Zero" che apre il tutto. Sono di New York ma si trovano sulla stessa onda dei canadesi Metric.

Gli Yeah sono forse meno compatti dal vivo ma Karen compensa alla grande con la sua voce, presenza e carisma. Quel carisma che un pò manca a Emily Haines dei Metric. Il cd si ascolta bene dall'inizio alla fine. Ma la band va vista anche dal vivo per apprezzarne poi meglio anche il lavoro in studio.

Sono ormai anche loro, come i Metric, un gruppo indie da classifica e un estratto dal secondo album ha raggiunto il 12° posto anche da noi in Italia. Mi importa poco se vanno in classifica, anzi... Che altro dire, qui su Debaser sono parecchio conosciuti.

Se ho ancipato qualcuno che magari si è specializzato sugli Yeah mi dispiace. Ma l'album meritava.

Off with your head
Dance til youre dead
Heads will roll (x3)
On the floor

Glitter on the west streets
Silver over everything
The rivers all wet
Youre all chrome

Dripping with alchemy
Shiver stop shivering
The glitters all wet
Youre all chrome

The men cry out the girls cry out
The men cry out the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no

11   Dragon Queen (04:02)

My mouth, you're touching. Your mouth is running. No loving, for nothing. Nobody knock my body out.
My mouth is blowing right off, I'm so gone. Incoming, out clubbin', not lovin', slow your body down.
How are you not going to show your scar?
How are you not going to get high, high?
[4x]

13   Zero (04:25)

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

You're a zero
What's your name? No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?
