It’s Blitz! was a huge disappointment for me at first, but once I listened to it for a few times, it grew on me. I really liked Softshock, Heads Will Roll, and Dull Life (especially Dull Life because it really features the whole band’s talents). All in all, not my favorite, but it certainly has it’s merits in the YYY sound. I shows they are experimenting a little and definitely trying to be more creative.

I am just a little vexed that you think Show Your Bones was a letdown. Where did that come from? I can honestly say that I think Show Your Bones was the group’s best album, hell, the best record they’ve put out. It featured a really mature sounding band and really explored the band’s musicality. It had some really great tracks (“Gold Lion” you mentioned, as well as “Phenomena,” “Warrior,” and “Turn Into.”) It was also really well put together. How is It’s Blitz! in any way better? My biggest turn off to the album was the uninspired poppiness of it. Enlighten me?

I love this cd and every cd ever made by the Yeah yeah yeahs! They rock and I love Karen O. “It’s blitz” shows they have different sounds that can still keep you tunned in. Rock on YYY’S I love it!

All and all, I dig it. I do wish there were at least a few tracks that reflected their raw side such as “Rich” and “Tick” did on Fever, but still an enjoyable album.

Agree with this post, and the part about Dragon Queen especially. I was thinking Tom Tom Club too. You can hear the clip on this vid for those who still haven't heard it.

Scribes should do their research. The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist is Nick Zinner, not Skinner.

i like the change… i like that they still have a YYY “sound” and yet it’s unpredictable.

love love love

ah I think the point of new record was to move away from their predictable art-noise slugfest, see “Maps”. It feels like it will grow on ya…still feels disappointing to many, not for the style change as mush as the lack of urgency. Then again whatever Karen O does we’ll all pay attention disco or boutique noise cuz she gotta it like that.
