YEAH YEAH YEAHS - IT'S BLITZ


I was recommended this album from a friend, who was talking about how 2009 has been a great year for music so far, so I took them up on their word and got this album.

The style is mostly electronic, but is really upbeat and fun. I really enjoyed this album straight from the first track, and I would suggest anyone interested in electronic, indie or just pop music in general to get it.

ZERO

The yeah yeah yeahs is a female vocalist, a guitarist and a drummer, based in new york. It's Blitz is there 3rd album, and they say it is a different sound to their earlier work, "but still sounds like the yeah yeah yeahs" according to the band.

Has anyone else listened to this album? Anyone enjoy it as much as I do?[/center]

no i know this they are big in indie crowds but i never heard GW talk about like MAPS or whatever and suddenly in the past week BOOM YEAH I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THEM.

just kind of surprising always when the music forum does that. when i tried to compile a list of bands gw didn't hear part of me got annoyed because no one was clear on the fact that even i wasn't clear on the criteria but i was also surprised by how many people knew and adored CLINIC or whatever.

idiot kid introduced me to the yeah yeah yeahs a few months ago. i like them a lot, but this is probably their worst album! it's not BAD but it's just not as good as the other two. there's a few standout tracks but nothing really mindblowing or anything

yeah it's weak as hell.  theyre not a boring band by any means and fever to tell is quite the opposite (show your bones is a bit more STANDARD ROCK but i think it's still really good, especially shit like way out/warrior), but this album is bland to me.

They've always been one of those bands that were recommended to me and I never bothered listening to them because I just assumed it was bad based on who was recommending them to me.

I eventually listened to each of their albums and they did not interest me in the slightest. They're not horrible, but I'd never sit down and listen to them casually.
