It's Blitz!

This is so of its time. Written in the studio, this is a triumph of digital editing and slick production. Nick Launay brings his excellent taste and great ears to create a slick and (vaguely) dance-able aesthetic, much more sophisticated than the 3-piece punk vibe that the band brings. The album is front-loaded with the singles, although I like some of the rockier tracks that follow, eg Dull Life (which is reminiscent of Siouxsie and the Banshees) or Shame and Fortune. After all is said and done, I don’t really remember any of the tracks once they finish playing. I prefer it when they don’t veer too far from their punk roots. I really like her voice, though.

Why is this on the list? There are much better albums from Yeah Yeah Yeahs that are more deserving. This one loses me after the first couple of tracks.

der song mit 200 mio streams wurde inletzter zeit durch tiktok bekannter. besser wirds dann auch nicht

Not really something I'd listen to on my own for fun. And honestly I find rock/pop like this boring, sorry

This was a boring release compared to their first album. The production was sterile, and all the tones were frigid cold.

De muziek klinkt meteen interessant. De zangeres is wat overdreven en doet me denken aan Kate Bush. Ik ga me op een gegeven moment zelfs een beetje ergeren aan haar. Jammer dat ze door die leuke beats heen zit te zingen. **

I had high hopes, but sadly this album just didn't do it for me. It sounds like most other glam rock albums without bringing anything new to the table. The songs themselves are pretty forgetful. 2/5

“Attitudes, tones, put-on sneers, and audible grins.” Whatever.

Light up beat album. Kind of fun. Not sure it's my kind of music. Never heard it before this listen.

Yawn. "Heads Will Roll" is a great song; always enjoyed. But this is the epitome of a 1 hit wonder. The rest of the album all sounds the same. I will give it 2 stars, only because I am feeling generous.

Right. The dude who compiled this 1001 list thing is an idiot. Out of all the albums that exist, he chose to include this one? (Eh, this album isn't terrible; it's just a mediocre album that's come along at a time in my torturous journey through a list of music compiled by a guy who clearly has no experience or taste and has only serendipitously hit upon actually good albums.)

Not ready for nostalgia for this kind of stuff just yet

Seems pretty good. 2/5

It’s mediocre at best. It’s vor allem zu lang.

Opens strong, then drops off heavily. I don't get the cult of personality around Karen O and don't like the sound of her voice: enunciate more, yelp less.

Tää oli vähän niin kuin The Sounds, mutta huonompi. Ehkä astetta elektronisempi. Jotenkin väsynyt ja uninen meininki ja ei tarttuvia kertsejä.

I wouldn't call myself a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, but I know a couple of their albums alright. Nothing here stood out compared to their other stuff.

Meh Meh Mehs

Basis of most of the songs are really good but they never do anything with them so gets very samey.

3 good tracks

Um álbum de pop chato que não iria ouvir. Inicialmente é mau mas vai melhorando, não sei se é da qualidade da música ou se nos habituámos as músicas. Nota: 3/10

Relatively enjoyable. Kinda slow at times, really enjoyed the more upbeat stuff.

It’s ok. Nothing that really moved me. As I was listening a song came on that was really good … but I realized album was over and Spotify had suggested me an Arcade Fire tune. So 2.5 stars, which I’ll round down

Uno bop

Meh

It's fine, nothing I'd listen to that often.

A little bit boring. A single song was worth it for me

Didn't listen to it all, but might revisit.

This is a good album, it has a strong open and very good close. The middle lost me for a bit but luckily the ending pulled things together. I didn’t hate listening to it but I also didn’t enjoy it the whole time

That late 2000's were a pit for music. This is representative some of the better released. Needed to be on this list?

First two songs are good (Heads will roll is top tier) but then it drops off and is okay but nothing spectacular

This isn't awful but it's pretty boring. Basic indie rock for basic hipsters. like if you thought the strokes was a bit too dangerous, maybe you'd like this. I dunno, not for me. 2/5.

Obamination

Vad har vi sagt om blogg-electroindien!? Just det. Att den borde stannat där och aldrig mer sett dagens ljus. Inte ens singelsmockan "Heads will roll" borde nånsin spelats efter 2010. Onödig musik

Belanglos! Beliebig! Austauschbar!

Wow this sucked. Other than off off off with your head i wouldnt want to hear any of this even once

I am out of comments for the garbage that is on this list. 1

Boring. Talentless junk. Why this sh *t is on the list, but not Lady Gaga, Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, Phish, Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Cranberries, Heart, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Leon Russell, Leo Kottke, Toto, Pink, Linda Ronstadt, Thompson Twins, Foghat,Blues Traveler, Mountain, Cyndi Lauper is beyond me.

the OG heads will roll. just wasn't my vibe

Boring. All Build Up and No Payoff. Big disappointment after Fever to Tell.

Not my type :(

This album was boring me since the beginning. 💦 I was considering skipping it completely, but I gave it a chance. Runaway is the only song that impressed me. 💗💗💗 Faces and Little Shadow also caught my attention, but that's about it. Nevertheless, I'm glad I gave this album a chance. 😊I like the cover🥚🥚 Thank you 💛

Meh meh meh

Two YEAH YEAH YEAHS albums on the list is insane! More disposable dreck from a band that is not essential in any way, shape or form. As throwaway as any music released in the last 50 years. Sometimes I really hate this project and the book it's based on.

Music to be bored by.

j'ai pas ecouté jusqu'à là

🤮

i dont really care for it

I remember when Yeah Yeah Yeahs came out and they were played on the radio. But they never grabbed me at the time. So, let's see how this goes. Oh yeah, they have that "Zero" song. What the heck does "shake it like a ladder to the sun" mean?? Oh yeah, they also have that "Off with your head, dance til your dead" song. Ugh - really didn't like that one. I think on both these opening songs they only lasted a couple of minutes on the radio before I changed the station. Not a good start. Maybe the rest of the album is better than the radio songs. Only song I liked was "Shame and Fortune" - it has a cool sound. The rest of these were either annoying or boring/forgettable to me. Funny how that 1 song that I liked has the least plays on Spotify of any song on this album - clearly I am not aligned with the rest of the fans of this band. Thinking this band isn't for me. Liked songs on Spotify: 1/10 Rating: 1/5

Awful. Like being continually slapped across the face with a plastic spatula. I put up with it for three tracks and was losing the will to live.

Definitely bored listening to this

"Heads Will Roll"❤️

Ok not my jam

Nah

Im sorry this is so bad I genuinely cannot listen to it oh my gosh

25th album with group. I wonder if Fever to Tell was this bad, and I just wasn’t critical enough. Good Songs - Dull Life. Bad Songs - Zero, Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock, Skeletons, Shame and Fortune, Runaway, Dragon Queen, Hysteric, and Little Shadow.

Si pudiera ponerle 0 estrellas definitivamente lo haría. Fue un verdadero reto escucharlo completo esperando que en algún momento algo me gustara aunque sea un poco, pero no pasó.

Nog for me

Not a fan. It seems I should be, but I didn't hear anything that I liked.

Grauenhaft!

Meh

Don't mind some of their other stuff, really didn't rate this

I did try, but it’s really not very good, at best poor. I listened to some Urban Voodoo Machine afterwards to make myself feel much better.

I'm pretty sure Dull Life was the Dammit riff from blink182

blah

On dirait que c’est du rock pour les Suicidaires. Insupportable

not for me tbh

Meh

Did not engage me and I'm unlikely to revisit it.

Sometimes a bit cringe but otherwise great

Crappy singer who is very thankful for tech, backed by very good musicians. Poor guys.

👎🏻

Not my thing at all. Too noisy lol

Once again there are parts I can appreciate but just not for me. 1

Why this group again?

was not cohesive or melodic enough for me to want to listen to it again. 1.5

I don't like it

Not my kind of thing. All felt like background music. Favourite song Runaway.

dance-y pop stuff with some weird new age bullshit-sounding lyrics and imagery. Bleh.

Not for me

Usually, I try to write a more in depth review when I listen to albums. But, this album sucked. It was torture to listen to. At least, I know the title of the song that was playing during Halloween when I was working at Savers.

I quite enjoyed the first track, and it all went downhill from there. The vocals started to grate. By the time we got to "skeletons", I'd had enough. Oh... and the electronic "bagpipes" on that track were the final straw. It's a 1.

Nah

Wow, what a generic and underwhelming album for my birthday! Despite their Spotify introduction, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are neither "alchemic," "transformative," nor "magical." Happy adulthood, I guess :/

Nah

Meh except “Runaway” is pretty good 1001 album worthy: Nah - 5/9

1. zero - 1 2. headz - 1 3. zoft - 1.5 4. zkeletonz - 1 5. life - 1 6. zhame - 0 7. runauuay - 1 8. dragon - 0 9. hyzteric - 1 10. zhadouu - 1.5

This sucked except Dance Till Your Dead or whatever.

Tiny winky

8====D

Yeah yeah

Alternative band of the early 00’s. No great music in my opinion.

The only thing that kept me listening was to see if there was a reason that this had been included in the list. Difficult to find one.

It's not a very memorable album, is it? Except for the lyrics, the songs pretty much sound the same.

Repetitive and unpleasantly so.

Album sucks just like all their other ones.

This has absolutely no business being on here.

Godawful shite.

Yeah yeah lala Pop ohne Sinn und Verstand, Allerweltsstimme, Not my taste

Did not enjoy

did not enjoy at all

I am suing Yeah Yeah Yeahs for auditory castration.

OK, aber nicht meins - das wird noch oft so sein...

Sadly not my thing

Good but not for me. ;=(

Would not let me listen. Couldn't figure it out and didn't like the album cover so....

Its ok - not into girly music from back in the day

Just meh

these fuckers get another album? really? mmm eggy flower not a red rose or a satin heart i give you an egg it is a moon wrapped in white paper it promises egg love is like an egg etc by carol anne duffy

2/10 for me

Not really into this type of music

Es el de Heads Will Roll, demasiado popero. No me gustó, es un fan-service de tinchos.

Meh. Not a fan.

Npp

no no nos

Strasznymi nowosciami zarzuca na jak na picki listowe, bo its blitz to krazek z 2k09 i rowniez z hameryki jak wczorajsze wyjce, trzeci studyjny krazek w dyskografii popowo indyjsko synthowo punkowo tanecznej ekipy yeah yeahow, ktora stanowi trio pana Braina na drumach, Nicka ktory wydaje sie byc operatorem synthow i gitar, oraz pani Karen O na wokalu, wiec sklad nie duzy, ale przy wykorzystaniu muzykow sesyjnych i typowej dla popowej produkcji wycinankowej skladanki beatow z wczesniej nagrywanych dzwiekow da sie ulepic calkiem sporo, a na tych 42 minutach udalo sie ulepic jedenascie kawalkow, z ktorych w glowie po odsluchu ostal sie zaledwie jeden, ktorego wczesniej gdzies musialem slyszec, ale nie jestem w tym samemu, bo jest to znaczaco popularny traczek w porownaniu do reszty utworow z listy albumowej, mowa oczywiscie o heads will roll, ktory jakos tak utkwil w pamieci pewnie z ost projecta iksowego, o ile od strony instrumentalnej jest tu rownie nudno jak na reszcie plyty, to jednak wokalnie cos sie dzieje, pani karen urozmaica wokale w roznych czesciach kawalka, w pamiec zapada zwlaszcza hook, ale to by bylo na tyle z rzeczy ktore rzucaja sie w ucho, bo reszta slucha sie w ten sposob, ze jednym uchem wpada, a drugim wypada, latwy odsluch muzyki taneczno relaksacyjnej o niczym, albo sprawiajacej wrazenie braku jakiegokolwiek bagazu emocji w sobie, dodatkowo odnosze wrazenie, ze sporo moglaby plyta zyskac z ciekawszym wokalem, bo ten element potrafi zepsuc instrumentale, ktore maja swoje momenty czego najlepszym przykladem bylby runaway, no ale popowa muzyka musi byc popowa, bo w latwe brzmienie celuje krazek, na plejke dodam jedynie wspomiany wczesniej rollujacy trak

I already didn't like their other album on this list (I hope there's "only" two) and this one is even worse.

initial thoughts: okay so heads will roll is the exception definitely … much more indie psychedelic rather than pop and that’s a surprise. fav off album: heads will roll

I don’t think I liked a single song on this album. Some I didn’t mind, and some got on my nerves extremely. Songs were simplistic. So was the guitar playing: very boring. In fact no one in the band could play very well on their instrument except maybe the drummer. A lot of annoying moments. This is what music sounds like when untalented people want to be cool. Liked the last two songs’ vibes, but the underlying music was just soooo boring.

Not my bag

Not their greatest, only like a few tracks

No me gusta nada

Weak 808 pop, might re-listen to two songs but I wouldn’t bet on it

Not for me

Indie genérico

10/10

Listen later

Love this one.

so good! i love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and it's easy to see how this album is on this list. SOLID
