Yeah Yeah Yeahs (mislabeled as Master[2]) is the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' self-titled debut EP, released in 2001 by the band's own label, Shifty. It is sometimes incorrectly called Master due to the prominence of a necklace bearing that word on the album's cover. It reached #1 on the UK Indie Chart.[3]

The EP was named NME's second best single of 2002.
