not a bad debut for SYB

"Just missing the top 10, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Show Your Bones" bows at No. 11 with 56,000 copies. The Dress Up/Interscope release far surpasses the first week of the group's last album, "Fever To Tell," which moved 15,000 in its opening frame back in April 2003 and ultimately posted its best week (21,000) in March 2004 after radio took to the single "Maps." "Fever" has sold 532,770 copies to date."

i was hopefully they could sell at least 100k copies in the first week but still a good start

what chart is it? the billboard one?

No. 11 is good, for a not-household name.

yup the Billboards

i honestly expected a higher debut...Maps made them pretty popular but maybe not household names yet.
pity if such a good album doesnt sell as well as it should

'But she got the fear when she heard Clarkson's smash "Since U Been Gone," which features the guitar break from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" -- not a sample, just a precise replica.'

never noticed that, but now... true that!

not bad..how did you know Izzy and James Hetfield were my 2nd fave members in their bands

but yeh..Sealings is really good...it should have been on SYB.
i hope it's released somehow as a b-side or on that rumored EP.

Have herd phenomena and gold lion down here on the radio and am digging it.

cant get phenomena outta my head, love that punchy chorus.

after reading you guys' reviews i think i might pick up 'SYB' when i pick up 'pearl jam'.

hell yeh..Phenomena is great..super chorus..it would make a great second single especially considering the surprising low sales in the US.

yeh do yerself a favor and pick SYB too

They're curating the ATP in UK next week. Nice selection of bands. I think he YYYs day is as good as the Mudhoney one.

the new guy is Imaad Wasif if im not wrong
i think he's gonna be a touring member cos some of the new tracks on SYB really needs 2 guitarists.

Yeh i went to the Barrowlands to seem them on Friday and what a show. What a dancer Karen is and stunning costume. Brillant all the way.

i like this one,
but not nearly as much as the first record.
:(

they could cut out their attempt at "rap" and i wouldn't be upset, either.

more noise, more noise!
