Feels like a day in a city ruled by teenaged graffiti artists. It's guitars are wild, the drums are spontaneous in the beginning and Karen O likes the fact that you're breaking the rules and the cops are chasing you. She's like that laid-back, cool girl who joins the gangs who ride motorcycles and teases you. That is when you hit on the last three songs and it's suddenly night time and your friends don't have that much energy to carry on with their hooligan activities and decide they want to sleep in one of your mate's apartment building and that's where the story ends. Those three sentimental tracks are the best part of the album, the tracks preceding them are a lot of fun to.

I can't believe some of these comments. This is what a strong debut looks like. Sorry to all of the people who fell in love with playing "Maps" on a rock band video game and expected the album to be all ballads!? This album is confident, feisty, and has a good mixture of both deep and shallow lyrical elements. Now if only I could get this on plastic without paying hundreds for a picture disc.. (Edited)

Hmm...hard to criticize...at times at the start of the record it can sound a little juvenile, but i can sort of get past that because the song's still sound pretty good, but then the album takes a emotive turns when Maps comes on in the tracklisting and i feel like that's actually where the Yeah Yeah Yeah's hit the hardest. Don't Know what to think 7.5 or an 8 somewhere in between there i guess..pretty good debut album.

Fever to tell, is one of the most exciting rock'n'roll debuts ever. Karen O fronts an exciting trio full of grit and attitude. All this wouldn't matter if the songs were no good but fortunately every one is a killer. Date with the night, man, and, tick, are just three of the best cuts here. A great debut, up there with, marquee moon, appetite for destruction, and, never mind the bollocks. Great stuff. (Edited)

This album is great. So much raw energy. Nick Zinner's guitar work is incredible on this album. I think he is one of the best guitar players from the last decade. Karen O is such a creative vocalist. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have an all-star lineup but they underachieve on some of their other albums. This album however, is probably their best effort. Raw, energetic, and creative. (Edited)
