its name is not worth listening to. It’s nothing personal, it’s a
principle I apply to ‘kids’ and ‘hands’ in band names as well.
Something about a lack of creativity in a name likely to reflect in
the music.
You can imagine I’m not the biggest Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan. That’s
why I needed someone else (My Favourite German™) to point out this
resemblance I know their song ‘Maps’, of course, but the name always
makes me think of the band Maps, which is unfortunate because
it makes the song a disappointment before it even starts.
Anyway, I’m not here to critique songs, least of all for no fault of
their own. If anything, the YYYs are the ‘good guys’ here because it’s
The Twilight Sad‘s ‘That Summer, At Home I Had Become The
Invisible Boy’, released four years later, that mimics their opening
percussion. Then again, it could be the beat is so common, it’s just
validating my principle of unoriginal name, unoriginal sound.
