Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A raw, electric debut of garage-punk swagger and unexpected tenderness on 'Maps'. Wild and heartfelt. A 2000s landmark. The record that established what Yeah Yeah Yeahs was about.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
