    "Fever To Tell" and all their older stuff is great, but with "Show Your Bones" they evolved into one of the best active bands around.

    can't say which one is better...
    they're both different... and that's a good thing...

    I prefer fever to tell, i like the raw energetic style it has. I really like the new one as well though, its very different to fever to tell.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    oooo tough choice, but I think I'd have to go with Bones. I think they really have developed their own sound now.

    as much as i enjoy 'fever to tell' i will go with the sharpier sound of 'show your ones'.

    I agree with this, they are just too different to compare. I have found myself listening to Show Your Bones more this summer, but I'm not sure if that is just because it is newer that Fever To Tell. They are both great, great band, can't wait for LP #3

    FEVER TO TELL is a more consistent album. SHOW YOUR BONES has better songs.

    Show your bones is a more melodic album, a like this record a little more, Fever to tell is more agressive, I love it. Great band great records. There's a rumor that show your bones might be their last record. I hope it's not true. Well at least I'll see them in October I'm excited!!

    i just got back from seeing the yyy's with sonic youth and it was really good. it seemed like the crowd was more into the fever to tell songs- especially the singles (maps and date with a night).

    forget the albums(they are both good), they are the best band out there right now, dont tell anyone though, tickets will be hard to get as it is...

    i thought fever to tell was a decent album, good to listen to once in a while. But show your bones knocked my boots off. I was shocked at the band's evolution between their last ablum and this one. Good stuff, good stuff.
