Show Your Bones by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Show Your Bones is an album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 46 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Gold Lion”, on 29 lists with a best position of #12.
Show Your Bones, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' second studio album, came out on Interscope in March 2006, a day earlier in the UK than in the US, and it's the New York trio deciding that the garage-punk rush of their debut was a starting point, not a destination. Karen O, guitarist and keyboard player Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase produced it themselves, and the songs trade some of the old scuzz for stomping rhythms and room to breathe.
"Gold Lion" leads the charge, a big, clattering stomp with Karen O howling over the top, and "Cheated Hearts" pairs a skittering guitar line with one of her most wounded vocals. The critics kept cheering, and the record picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album in 2007.
