Album Review: It’s Blitz by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs To be honest, I’d kind of lost interest in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They had a habit of releasing albums with a couple of leading singles which were excellent and then when the actual album arrived, it was dripping with filler and disappointment. So when Zero was released, and it was a perfect little blast of driving basslines and screeching guitars laced through with one of the catchiest tunes of last year, it was with trepidation that I (eventually) investigated the rest of the album. But this time around, pretty much everything about the album is excellent. It’s a properly crafted album too, with a beginning (made up of the two leading singles Zero and Heads Will Roll) a perfect transitional middle section and a genuinely moving ending, made of my two favourite tracks from the album, Hysteric and Little Shadow. So if you’re wondering why I’m reviewing an album that was actually released in March last year, my excuse is that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had form on the disappointing album front. Not this time though.
