Proof indeed, that the common image of Karen O belting round the stage screaming like a drunken lady on a Club 18-30 excursion is in fact wrong. Some of the time at least.
Emoting in a veritable Chrissie Hynde stylee whilst Nick Zinner drops heavy bomb-shaped riffs, 'Y Control' is a really rather excellent piece of taut controlled agression. Thematically, it's really rather sad; all battered lyrics and maudlin refrains of "_I wish i could buy back the woman you stole_". Uplifting? Not in the slightest.
Of course the album came out a good 7 years ago now, and it's merely a slightly cynical piece of DVD-related marketing, but... hey.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
its a good song and everything, but everyone who wanted to hear it probably already has their album...
Re: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
exactly. their last single from FTT was released about a year ago... what's the point? I think everyone has become very bored of them, what with out new material and such. they make me angry.

Great song no doubt about it. Just seen the video though, it's slightly disturbing.
Full of freaky looking wee kids hitting dead dogs with baseball bats and chopping eachothers hands off!
I'll be having nightmares tonight.....

Re: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
This is a weird one. If you listen to this song, the riff is extremely similar to the one on the new Kings of Leon tune 'The Bucket'.
Have the Kings ripped off Karen O? And is this being released now to expose them?
Probably not, but the riffs are remarkably similar.

Well you can guarantee one thing...when their second albums come out they'll both be dropped by the media like The Datsuns, The Vines and so on...
'Maps' is still a cracking tune, though.

Re: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control
No, your kinda right. They did have Master before ftt, it's little but it's still an album.
Funnily enough
although the review is good, I do find it quite uplifting.
I thought
It was an EP?
