It's Blitz!

YYYs are getting a solid 4 from me for It’s Blitz, i’ve always enjoyed this album and never loved it. It falls off in the middle for me but starts and ends fantastically well.

I didn’t have high expectations after experience with Fever to Tell, but this is good and well done.

strong opener. good discovery from this list.

Really like it, part of the collection. Fun vibes, modern rock sound.

Peak Karen O

I like the structure of this album. It completely changed halfway through and do an acoustic softer mood. Loved every song

it was actually very very good but maybe i should review albums as soon as i finish listeining to it

Fuerte, divertido, distinto, llamativo. Pensé que me iba a gustar menos pero no, buenísimo chavales. Estoy dudando si ponerle un 4 o 5, siento que me inclino por el 4 porque por momentos queda atrás.

Big surprise for me. Really good opening 3 tracks and then remains consistent throughout. RYM: N Saved a song: N

It was phenomenal. Had some low points, but overall I really, really enjoyed it

Kicks ass at the start, ends quite nicely, too. Had a great time with this. A high 4-star for me.

So good. Such a brilliant run toward the start. Heads Will Roll is a perfect song, and Soft Shock and Skeletons are close to it. Runaway and Dragon Queen hit a back half high that brings it right back up. Karen is a top tier singer and lyricist, especially for the genre, and the other guys whose names I should know by now create such great synthpop worlds for her to inhabit.

yeah yeah yeahs are an easy sell for me in general and this is a good "i'm a hot girl walking at night" album, but for me this has more frequent low points than fever to tell which is imo a cover to cover listen every time. i like your music better when you're rowdier, karen! fav: dull life

HEAD WILL ROLL

This was a fave back in the day, and while the years have taken a bit of the shine off it, I still really enjoyed the chance to revisit it. “Zero” and “Heads Will Roll” are the clear standouts, and hew closest to the band’s dance punk roots, but I do really like the more low key back half of the album.

Pretty rockin but nothing world changing.

An album that appears to be unsure what it is trying to be, but the music is good enough to take you on the journey of figuring it out

hell yeah

Good!

Fue mi soundtrack en un día regu. Sabía a melancolía punk. Un poco Lilly Allen más rockerilla. Hot.

didn't know this band. reminds me of MGMT and the 2000s inde rock/pop. some songs are banger.

This is a good album with a range of musical ideas going on here. Definitely better than I expected.

Shermz: they really never save my review Sia help. I’ve heard Heads will Roll before HAHHAA. They give me the Ting Tings vibes Wenz: Wah, I like this album though I have not heard it before! 😍

Liked the sound, good easy listening

Indie sleaze will never die

Heads will roll is an excellent track. That song alone gives this 4 stars in my books.

The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs started off firmly within the post-punk revival of the early aughts and this record reflects them moving away from that sound in a way that reflects some of the musical trends of the period. It moves away from the guitar-bass-drums sound heard earlier and is much more keyboard driven, It also moves away from the kind of angularity of the earlier material, although those qualities are not entirely absent from the record. This is something that I might have been a bit more critical of when I was younger, but honestly the shifts work well for the band and they make them in a way that holds onto their identity. It would probably be fair to also call this a more eclectic and ambitious record than the previous work. Off with their heads is a fantastic single and the work is consistently good, ranging from the upbeat material to the slower material. All in all a very good record that I will probably pick up if I get the chance.

Is good! I like the songs near the start and end of album

Я никогда раньше не слушал эту группу, хотя их название слышал ну очень часто. И это классный альбом, мне он очень понравился. Бодрый но лиричный электро-инди-поп с элементами пост-панка, классный женский вокал, приятные звуки синтов, атмосфера 10-х годов, хипстерства - это всё очень и очень хорошо.

4/5

The electronic dance sounds might normally be annoying, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs know how to make it endearing. Another fun and interesting album by this group.

fun & nostalgic as i used to listen to these songs a lot back in high school and the years that followed

yeah yea!

Recession pop rock, very happy and shiny

1. "Zero" 2. "Dull Life" 3. "Runaway"

I was jamming to this!

I spend a truly unbelievable amount of time singing Maps, and have done since… when did that come out? Wow 2003. Middle school Shar salivating over the music video after school. Anyway. I’ve never listened to this album! And only know heads will roll. Thrilled to see them included. Karen O has one of my favorite… auras? Oh hell yes seeing she went to Oberlin. Solidarity. Good Wikipedia excerpt: “Karen O accidentally danced off the stage and was reluctantly taken to the hospital. A few days later, at the Sydney leg of the Livid Festival, she appeared in a wheelchair pushed onstage by Andrew.”

Pleasantly surprised. Didn't expect the album to be this good. Only knew a couple of songs but the rest I liked.

Drops a little in the middle, but enjoyed this overall

A fun little album.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Love heads will roll, even though the remixes do improve on it, love this cover a lot as well. I like the vibe of the whole album, quite upbeat but none of the songs really stuck with me as something I would put in my playlist. Specific rating - 4.0 Fav song - heads will roll Least fav - little shadow

Definitely liked the first half more than the second, but I can't tell if that's the songs themselves or if I was getting bored of their sound/her voice. Love the album cover. Favourite song: Soft Shock Least: Runaway

banging

4 Enjoyed this, she has a really nice voice

I preferred the other album by this artist I listened to, but I would still say I liked this one! It was odd listening to Heads Will Roll, expecting it to play the sped up version.

Head Will Roll is insane s-tier banger. Most of the songs are not stunningly amazing (except Runaway which is fantastic), but I really like the style and the general vibe of this album.

HEADS WILL ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL claramente é a banda de uma ex da ramona flowers

I really enjoyed this album when it was released

I should revisit, but I still think it's a tad overrated.

Very good never heard before

fun!

Can an album be great just because it's very good? This album follows one of the formulas to greatness- start off with a couple total bangers (Heads will Roll, Zero) and a highly listenable not quite banger (Soft Shock) and then follow your muse wherever it takes you. Oh how these loudkins from Brooklyn have grown into themselves. The guitar crunch a has receded but the attitude remains - this sound was always their future. Ready made for festival mainstages worldwide. In the years since they have only become moreso.

Starts of with a bang and slowly loses momentum. This is the type of music I like but in reality it's just another average album. Probably rates higher because of the lack of competition around at the time. Good but not great.

an album I had never heard of and it was a pleasant surprise, quirky and eletronic, it was exciting to hear the original song behind heads will roll made me think of project x, it is a satisfyingly melancholy album

Liked it. Will give another listen.

Exceeded my expectations, wasn't expecting the blend of mellow indie and upbeat dance/electronic. Simple stuff but kept it versatile - lead vocals especially good. The acoustic versions are also a treat. Slightly reminiscient of Wolf Alice.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are, imo, one of the better bands to come out of the indie blow-up of the 2000's. This album has a few different classic cuts on it and stuff that's inflected with dance punk has a special place in my heart. Is it essential? Probably not, but I certainly like it, so I can't be too mean.

Pretty best

everyone knows heads will roll but this album slaps. Would I listen again: yes Deserves to be on this list: yes 4.3

I really like this album, I do enjoy YYY’s synth heavy phase in general. It doesn’t have any of the really punchy tracks found in their earlier stuff but as a sort of shoegazy album with good underlying Melodys I think it works well 4

First half is admittedly got more going for it than the second but a solid album overall. Great band, always pushing the envelope.

This is great. A band that totally grew on me over the years and are one of the most interesting bands from that era of indie. This album is change in direction and probably isn't as as good as their first but it's still excellent from start to finish.

Me gustó lo creativo que es y que incluye varios estilos aunque solo sea una misma banda/cantante. Me encantó la canción de Dull life, curiosamente no tan famosa, y no sabía que la famosa canción de Heads will road era de ellos.

Tienen potencia y a la vez calma, mezclan demasiado bien esas velocidades en el álbum La voz de Karen O es sumamente característica, y es otro punto alto de este álbum Ninguna canción se siente repetitiva, no les da miedo explorar o al menos no se quedan con una sola fórmula en todo el álbum, eso se destaca mucho Mis favoritas Zero, Heads Will Roll y Skeletons, pero realmente las demás son muy buenas también

If I had to describe this style, I'd say it's 90s Eurodance meets 2010s indie rock. However, I did enjoy this quite a lot! And the acoustic versions in the end were also quite a treat.

A good palette cleanser on this list.

Decent alternative rock record. Would listen to more of this band.

4.5/10 no my thing

I didn’t listen to this fully need to revisit

Bangers.

I liked this quite a lot. There’s a great use of synths on this album. I felt the propulsive bests matched with the lyrical content was a fun dichotomy. The vocal performance from Karen O was great, and a highlight on most of the songs. I like the cover being a metaphor for the band as rebirth. Yeah this was just good fun, look forward to a relisten

Heads Will Roll is an all timer. The rest of the album doesn’t quite live up to that precedence, but it’s still really good. This sounds very familiar and nostalgic to me, the slow songs especially sound sort of like mid songs at a small show, but I like them in this context. Heavily emulated vocals!

7.5/10? ta bueno, esperaba que fuera mas bombo incesante XD

Honestly was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Flowed great throughout and the music was energetic.

La voix se marie parfaitement aux productions instrumentales ce qui en fait un album très accessible et appréciable. Des progressions d'accords originales et l'utilisation de gammes dans des modes lydiens (je crois) mais principalement majeures, forment un "désordre" maîtrisé, électrique et mélodieux. Pas mon style de base mais sa richesse et sa "non monotonie" convainc.

holy tough, all the songs were a vibe. of course the meaning and the lyrics are a bit lacking but i really liked the sounds on this one

Really enjoyed this! Preferred it to their debut. Will be revisiting this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really great energy, bueno pa workouts. El album va mucho mas alla que sus well known bangers. Su voz es bien definida, sticks in the mind 4/5

There are some really good songs on this album. I’d be willing to listen to the album again, in totality. It was interesting listening to the acoustic versions included.

This album starts off with two tracks, Zero, which is fun and Heads Will Roll, which is excellent. Both songs make you feel like It's Blitz! is going to be a great party album but then it makes a handbrake turn into much more introspective songs. These are still good, but the bait and switch really threw me and spoiled the overall album experience. It would have been a much better album if they picked a lane and stayed in it and then switched on their next release. The songs are all pretty good, so this still just about gets a four, but I expect I'll listen to individual tunes rather than the album as a whole in the future.

YYY’s get more accessible but don’t lose their identity. And Karen O stays as cool as fuckin ever. Good stuffz

Heads Will Roll was an iconic cultural reset But I just wish this album kept the same energy throughout, it's like the fire got put out too early not even halfway down the tracklist...

Enjoyed this one quite a bit. Will have to check out more of this artist

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are phenomenal live. I saw them twice back in the 00’s and they blew me away both times. I don’t listen to them as often as I probably should these days. I throw “Fever To Tell” on every so often but don’t think I listened to their last album (Cool It Down - 2022) at all, so will have to remedy that in a bit. It’s Blitz is a great album. Really enjoyed getting reacquainted :)

Geras, elektroninė, nors geriau remixai kai kurie.

A great album from start to finish. Karen O's voice adds texture and dept to every song. Fun, a little poppy, a little punky, smooth with edges. 4/5.

I really dig the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I don't know why certain types of dance rock bands do it for me (like them, some of TVOTR, DFA 1979, certain IDLES) and others don't (MGMT, M83, alt-J), but they rule. I think, for one, the heaviness of the guitars here never really relents on the rockier songs and it undergirds the whole thing with an urgency. Karen O's not a perfect singer, but a very good one and really punctuates each line. Fever to Tell remains their best album, and either "Maps" or "Y Control" their best songs, but goddamn "Heads Will Roll" is SO good.

I actually fucked with this mega what a blast what a ride

Enjoyed this one quite a bit. I remember not caring for the first singles when they originally came out, proving I had poor taste in music at the time. They ended up being some of my favorites this time around.

3.5/5 rounded up. I had a ton of fun listening to this record, from the high-energy and punchy opener tracks to the moody and introspective run later into the album. I must say I was expecting a bit more glitter, dance and funk going into It's Blitz!, where instead there's a lot of... mood, on the 11-song tracklist. So I had to readjust my expectations slightly as I went in for a second listen, but I could appreciate the music far better once I realized what I was in for. Just gotta say, this album is not that blitzy for being called It's Blitz!. But, its' pretty good regardless.

Manon is delusional

Stand-out tracks: Zero, Heads Will Roll, Dull Life, Runaway, Hysteric, Faces Not much smart to say. Enjoyed the mix of more energetic and calmer tracks. Most of the album was a nice listen, nothing I would ouright skip.

Highlights: Zero, Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock, Shame And Fortune, Dragon Queen Holy balls, how stupid do I have to be not to know that that's where the meme is from... But yeah, I really liked it. Didn't expect that, but that sure was a mistake. The style is not too different from the rest of the early 2010s alternative, but it also happened to still sound fresh.

Holy shit what a banger. I highly recommend listening to the deluxe version, cause the additional acoustic versions are lovely and show off the lyricism and vocals from this group. I will be adding this to my pop rotation and I'm glad I listened before I died! 8/10

Very listenable. Good vocals

Pleasantly surprised with this, I had only heard heads will roll before

I rlly like it, heads will roll has always been on my music playlists and just never thought to listen to the album ig LOL

I don't know why, but I expected this to be more like The Strokes than what I got, which was Florence and the Machine. Which is not a bad thing. I liked it!

Good timing, I've had Heads Will Roll in my head for months. Love their energy.

I haven’t ever fully dug into an album by them and genuinely enjoyed this. I knew of songs like zero and heads will roll but discovered new gems like skeleton

Probs a bit of nostalgia for me, but its such a great piece of rock imo. Hysteric especially this beautifully echoing track that lingers in the air. Karen O's voice is so gorgeous.

Fun, energetic album. The worst songs were still enjoyable to me and the best ones made me actually focus on the music.

Weirdly good. Different -> interesting. Also there is the meme song heads will roll :D

good

Grata sorpresa Nunca me había parado a escucharlos

I kinda want to not like this so I can say "yeah yeah yeah? More like yeah yeah nah". But! This was great.

Pretty good album, would like to see them in concert. Highlights: “Runaway”, “Dull Life” and “Little Shadow”

Pretty cool sound and voice

Really enjoyed this album. Will listen to more of their stuff

Great mix of rock with dance/disco grooves. Fun album.

I love this band and album.

Good.

Really good album, I liked Zero, Heads Will Roll and Skeletons the most.

This is my first 3Y album and I loved every bit of it!

2009. Third album from them. Album was leaked so they had to publish it earlier.

Algo un poco más nuevo que el resto! jaja banda indie al fin, me gustó, hasta ahí.

Ich weiß noch wie ich mich über dieses Album aufgeregt habe - totaler Sellout, weichgespült, die neuen Coldplay... Ich finde die Produktion auch immer noch zu soft, im Arrangement zu wenig Biss, Fuzz, Trash, Rotz - Ausnahme das grandiose Shame and Fortune. Aber wie fantastisch die Songs sind, kann man eigentlich nicht ignorieren. Eine Band in ihrer magischen Phase. Jetzt wünsche ich mir eine YYY Tour.

Was für eine herrliche Abwechslung in dieser Liste. Gerade die Acoustic-Versionen zeigen noch mal ne ganz neue YYY-Seite und ich muss zugeben dass es das erste komplette der YYYs war, das ich gehört habe. Soft Shock in beiden Versionen ist mein neuentdeckter Hit. Heads Will Roll geht immer immer wieder.

4.25 - Oh, okay. Maybe I do like this band. I thought Maps was their best song, buts it’s Heads Will Roll and I didn’t know that was their song.

Love the first few tracks on this and though I enjoyed it all, felt it dropped off a bit as it went on though.

Sounds kinda like Metric crossed with Siouxsie and the Banshees. Dancy music with rock sensibilities and a little bit of punk flavor. Some of the tracks use analog synths, and there's a sprinkling of some krautrock sound as well. Very professional deliberate production.

After sampling a Yeah Yeah Yeahs tune once or twice a year over the past few years, finally an excuse to listen a bit more. Gotta say: I had a wonderful time.

🐣🐣🐣🐣

This album is pretty awesome. 4/5

excellent album. seems like a more modern take on 80s synth rock. i might consider getting this one. really liked "Zero", "Heads will Roll", "Skeletons" and "Shame and Fortune".

Wow! This blew me away! This was really good! I liked the vocals. I liked the songwriting. I liked the energy. The electronic noises actually added to the song I stead of took away from it. Not really s low point in the album. Solid.

I‘m at a 4,5

Great album, but their best is still Fever to Tell.

Solid album, even though some of it melts together/is fairly forgettable

This was good

Great album! Quite tuneful!

Me gustaron todas las melodías ,no sabía que me podría gustar esta especie de tecno pop. Fue divertido de escuchar

Шоу йор бонс мне кажется круче был

My previous knowledge of the band consists of knowing their name and most often confusing them with the 5,6,7,8s. I expected nothing from this band, as I'm learning to do with this list. I'm frequently disappointed based on my preconceived notions and am rarely pleasantly surprised based on those preconceptions. This album was absolutely in the pleasant surprise category and I really wish I had experienced it in 2009. I think it would have been fully integrated into the list of albums I'd run into a burning building to save. This was really good, and I'm definitely going to be adding it to my personal collection, along with exploring more of their music.

Attention-grabbing intro track goes right into one of the coolest songs ever, "Heads Will Roll"; it's hard to find synthpop that sounds as badass as the massive drama those cascading synth lines + claps create. Karen O's vocal chops are consistently excellent across the album as well- she has a unique, punkish drawl combined with beautiful high vibrato.

For some reason Yeah Yeah Yeahs always struck me as one of those bands that released one good album, followed by an endless stream of mediocrity. How I couldn't have been more wrong! Until now I was only familiar with Fever To Tell, and honestly this is just as good. It's a lot less punky and raw, but is still super groovy and I love how they take a more electronic approach in general, taking their sound in a really interesting direction without sacrificing the sound that makes them so unique.

Primera impresión: me gusta bastante lo primero que escucho, tal vez porque es más reciente me llega más. No sabía que eran los de Heads wil roll. Like the vibes Mitad de álbum: arrancó bastante fuerte y ahora se fue calmando, me gustan las vibes. Muchas canciones las voy a agregar y seguro que si las escucho sueltas me gustarían mucho más que en la totalidad de álbum donde pueden llegar a ser repetitivas. Final: me gustó bastante, volvería a escucharlo y también las canciones. No está entre mis álbumes favoritos pero me gustó mucho. Canción favorita: Zero, Runaway y Heads Will roll obviamente.

side a is bangers only

Sympa

Love Karen O, she is a great lead for the band.

Pleasantly surprised by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who I really don't know much about other than "Maps", which nowadays just annoys me. Great indie pop dance album. Great voice, production, melodies. Really solid.

A great varied indie rock / pop album.

Always liked the yeah yeah yeahs Simpsons: No

A lot of good stuff here, it does fade as it goes on but still quite enjoyable, really want to give a 4 for how much I enjoyed half of the album...we'll see

A real surprise and a very good album. I'd heard of the band but never listened to them before. This is a belter

Really raised the bar for me on what I could expect pop to be. Also the first release of theirs I was able to pick up on release.

Pretty decent, although not anything incredible

oooo 2009. Heads Will Roll immediate banger on first listen. love the guitars on this album

🐜🦟🐜🦟

Heads will roll - tune. Best song so far. Needs more listens

It’s a 3.5 but I’m giving it a 4. Some of the songs went on a bit too long and were a bit boring but I overall liked the album

Really good sound. I like the energy and the voice. Song"heads will roll" has an awesome sample. I will listen to it many times again. Also liked "dull life", unbelievable song. Overall simple texts, good sound and energy. I don't even know 3 or 4 stars to put. Maybe 4, because I would put this album on my backgrounds for routine many times. Not all songs I liked so much, but 80% is great

Off with head!! Ok so it has a banger song. This is a pretty good album, I would own this one for sure. It's fun!

Très agréable

Hmmm, okay this is an interesting one. It's more my typically vibe, but I've only every heard "Heads Will Roll" before. It reminds me of Florence and The Machines first two albums very very slightly. I think this is one that could grow on me. I actually really ended up liking most of it, which I wasn't expecting. I think my faves at the moment are "Soft Shock", "Dragon Queen", and "Hysteric". This is an album I can see myself coming back to somewhat often

It's Blitz! has a much more experimental tone than previous Yeah Yeah Yeahs works, and I'm here for it. Love the electronic aspects integrated with a really solid rock album. Overall I don't know if the whole album gels for me as well as I really wished it would, but it's got some great tracks and cool moments. The album is uptempo and gloomy all at once. It's a unique feeling that I don't know quite how to process after only one listen. Lyrically and vocally it is restrained and I wish Karen O had let it go a little crazier like how it began with "Zero." The band goes hard and the synth is dying to be unleashed, wish we had gotten a tad more of that. Standouts are "Zero" - this one has been a favorite of mine for years - "Skeletons," and "Hysteric." Overall this is probably a 7 or 8 out 10 for me. Pretty strong, and it's growing on me the more I think about what I just heard. Definitely want to go back for more, and got a few good tracks for my daily playlist.

I was bit nervous to get another Yeah Yeah Yeahs album so soon after not enjoying Fever to Tell very much, but I think this a group that has gotten better over time. Cool It Down is still my favorite album of their's, but this one really good as well.

Enjoyed this beginning to end.

Who knew would listen to the dance till your dead song today. Mostly listened to on the bike so i feel like i should give it another listen in a quieter atmosphere but some fun beats!

Here's a band I really missed out on when they were in their heyday. I had only heard "Heads Will Roll" so was very pleasantly surprised by this one. It kicks off in great style with "Zero" and there's even a traditional Irish feel to "Skeleton." Karen O brings all kinds of energy and elevates the proceedings. Really enjoyed this.

Of those groups coming out of the early 2000s NY indie scene, i think yeah yeah yeahs are overshadowed by bigger groups like The Strokes, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem, but they were and still are a really good band. This is a great indie pop album that sounds both of its time and still fresh. Karen O puts on a terrific performance on most of the songs here, very talented frontwoman. Love the dynamism of Heads Will Roll and the like, but I especially enjoy when they slow it down a bit. Hysteric is a lovely song that I always like to hear.

Pretty good

Fun album so good songs not much replay value

What a strong start with zero and heads will roll. Love the overall vibe with this electro pop that just rocks enough and her piercing voice!

I may not have enjoyed this as much on a different day, but I was really vibing with it for some reason.

8 Some pretty sick riffs and i love the all the distorted basey synths defo talkes me back to me teens!!! Karen O one of the cooolest singers of the noughties for sure

Very cool. Mucho enjoyment

Great high points on this record, I've always wished they'd just rock a bit harder though. The quieter songs can feel a bit lukewarm to say the least

A solid little synth-y album. It gets extra points for Heads Will Roll.

Впервые послушал чуть больше полугода назад, каких-то особых впечатлений не получил, поэтому поспешил навесить ярлык очередной модной безынтересной музыки миллениалов-хипстеров из конца нулевых (07-11 на мой взгляд едва ли не худший период в истории музыки). А сейчас прям получил удовольствие при прослушивании. Основная заслуга в этом, конечно, у Карен О, но и сами песни довольно бодрые и приятные, особенно в первой половине, плюс баланс танцевалки и грустинки хорошо соблюден. Так что возвращаю альбом в ротацию и даю ему 4 челки Карен О из 5.

Good

I enjoyed listening to this but I think I need a bit more time with it.

Good

Smooth blend of pristine vocals and electronica without compromise on lyrics or punch. I love the sound of this album, and I like the overall vibe. Very enjoyable.

Delightful

Famous start, and then the second half surprised me with that singer songwriter style 7/10

Yes yes yes to Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

Their third album. Rock / Punk / Electronica. Zero is a really cool opening salvo to have on the album and followed by the energetic Heads Will Roll. Enjoyed those first two tracks. In fact the first half of the album is actually very good. It does a drop off a little after that but is still good and well produced.

This was a great album, really enjoyed the vibe of it. The lead singer has a beautiful and strong voice. 8.5/10 album

What a beauty.

Bueno, me re gustó. Es un álbum que definitivamente voy a escuchar mucho. En la primera escucha algunas canciones me parecieron iguales, pero esto probablemente esto cambie cuando lo escuche mas seguido y en detalle. Lo suuuper recomendaría

Js bi plesala na njihpvo muzko, pa Slave je trenutno tko ena mojih najljubsih pesmi

3.5 in my book. Fun distinct sound, would definitely listen again

I hate that I'm saying that an album that came out when I was 25 sounds dated now, but... it does. This was one of my favorites back when it was new, yet the luster is wearing away.

Some of the songs were really quite pretty. I loved Skeletons and Soft Shock. I already knew Heads Will Roll was a banger. Overall, a very solid albun.

Started rough with this one, but it got better.Im not seeking it out but wouldnt mind hearing more from this band.

Indie punk disco, yeah?

Good album

female vocalist<3 indie. pop/punk. leather jacket vibes. dance-y. jams. fun. super cool :)

Good

Depois de ouvir as duas primeiras músicas (Zero e Heads Will Roll) pensava que ia ser um álbum perfeito ou lá perto. Depois de ouvir as 15 músicas posso dizer que é um bom álbum, super criativo, diferente, a vocalista tem uma voz espetacular e o resto da banda é tão boa ou melhor que a sua voz. De 1 a 5 vai ser 4, mas se tivesse menos músicas podia ser 5. Ou se as músicas fossem todas do género das primeiras duas... Tenho a certeza que ia ser 5 estrelas. Qualquer das maneiras, é um álbum muito bom. As versões acústicas são incríveis também. Destaque também para a Runaway!

This was fine. Good background music.

I don't think I ever listened to a song by this group before today. I really liked it

Loved this when it first came out but haven’t listened in forever. Still holds up pretty well!

I don't know how I feel about Yeah Yeah Yeahs as a band name. Part of me is stuck on why it's "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" and not "The Yeah Yeah Yeahs" but I'm actually not sure which would make more sense. I don't know. What I do know is how I feel about their 2009 album, It's Blitz! It's pretty good! I liked this one quite a bit. It's my first album that I've gotten from the project this year to come from the 21st century, so that's neat. You don't really see albums from the late 2000s onward come up very much for this project, so it's always interesting to see if the ones that you do get are warranted. This one? While I like it quite a bit, I have heard that the band's 2003 debut, Fever to Tell, is apparently better, so that would probably be the YYYs pick of the list, but I digress. The album itself is definitely on the more modern side, but in a good way. I like the production. It's clean, but not too clean, you know? Karen O's vocal performance is fun. It's always cool to see a female vocalist for more indie-adjacent projects like this. I like the music here. It's got some cool synth stuff mixed with an indie spirit that I appreciate. "Heads Will Roll" is a super cool song, with none of the others disappointing. Overall, I had fun with It's Blitz! It's not a super complex album or anything, but it's a sufficiently fun time that I enjoyed. 4/5.

Yo this surprised me with how much I liked it but never heard of this album. Flow was pretty good, the vocals were great. I can only remember the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for "Maps" but now I have added "Skeletons" to my playlist. Really enjoyed this album to the point where i have listened to it 3 times already ahah

3.5 started really good, kind of dulle after the first three tracks

Pretty cool. I like the variation of songs while still keeping the entire album to a certain "vibe". There was one or two songs I really liked, but this album makes an impression nonetheless.

Pretty good listen. I dare say most people are a fan of this record mainly because of Heads Will Roll (though A-Trak's remix is way better), but there was some gems in this thing the whole way through.

classic album, really enjoy this kind of rock

Wait that's crazy I've already heard a song on this one. Soft Shock is good. I'm gonna like this one it has good vibes. I like the production and the voice. Heads Will Roll is their original song?? That's crazy. I'm really enjoying this album. I like this sound it's millennial but in a good way. Really enjoyed this one. Favourite: Skeletons Least favourite: Runaway

is this public?

Nie było to takie odkrycie jak "Fever To Tell", to na pewno. Ale im dłużej (i im więcej razy) słuchałem tego albumu, tym bardziej do niego dojrzewałem. Chociaż crazy girl energy z debiutanckiego albumu grupy na zawsze będzie moim top doświadczeniem z Karen O. "Heads Will Roll" to dla mnie core memory kawałek dzięki remixowi (A-Trak Remix), którego namiętnie słuchałem przez dłuższy okres w czasie studiów. Także zdecydowanie najważniejszy dla mnie utwór z płyty. Ale "Zero", "Dull Life" i przede wszystkim "Runaway" też mi zapadły w pamięć i sprawiły, że będę wracał do "It's Blitz!" Yeah Yeah Yeahs to chyba jedno z moich większych odkryć na tej liście. Mają niepodrabialne brzmienie, mega mi się podoba to, co ich perkusista robi na tej płycie, bardzo dużo mięsistego bawienia się zestawem, sporo rytmów i hooków pozbawionych jest standardowej kompozycji "stopa, hi-hat, werbel", co absolutnie uwielbiam w linii perkusyjnej.

Love it

I quite liked it but i would give it a 3.5 if i could. Good start but overall quite forgettable

I've only really been familiar with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's due to the hit song "Maps," so I mostly know them as a typical alt-rock band. The band seems to have grown beyond this distinction on It's Blitz! I realized as it was playing that I also know "Heads Will Roll", but it speaks to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's metamorphosis that I didn't recognize them as the artist. There's a lot more electronic elements here than I would have suspected, and the band's willingness to try different styles is refreshing. They do slip into songs that are reminiscent of their past selves, and that's nice too. I will definitely be coming back to this. Not sure how essential it is, but I'm thankful to the author for including it.

This project is right in my wheelhouse. Heads will roll is an all time track for me. Awesome vocals. Great synth. Easy 4.

Great album and awesome live show.

I wish frequently I was as cool as Karen O.

This is a really, really good album with a bunch of excellent songs. There's another review on this site that says it sags a bit in the middle, and I think that's probably true. But, god, Zero is my jam, and Hysteric is a new favorite. 4.5 stars. Karen O is a legend.

The first songs are great. There are some skips honestly

Prior familiarity with the hits which have seen a lot of radio play over the years. Pleasantly surprised how great the entire album sounded. I will be back. 4/5

Let by two strong “banger” openers, then all sorts of lower BPM electro ballads, the album shows growth in the YYYs’ sound while never losing any heart.

It sounds like the soundtrack to a movie.

This was a fun listen. Not a ton to say tbh. Some classic songs and I like the sound overall.

Best Song: Zero This album is pure nostalgia feeling

I didn't expect to like this one, as I was only familiar with the singles from this album - the aggressively happy and dancy electropop of "Heads Will Roll" first and foremost. But side two, especially the drenched out, almost shoegazy "Little Shadow" and the hymnal "Hysteric", caught me by surprise. I really loved the mellower moments here - and that it culminated in the unashamedly upbeat "Faces". 3.5-4 stars.

A coincidence that I roll both listed Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums in a row. I knew Heads Will Roll which is great., and Dull Life was another standout. I like the previous YYYs album a bit more but still enjoyed this about the same level

I really enjoyed this one. I think I've heard of the band, but nothing triggered a memory, so I guess it's new to me. "Heads Will Roll" is a fun tune that i'm adding to the playlist.

Decent album. Zero, Heads Will Roll, Dull Life, and, in particular, Shame And Fortune, are great tracks. Some, like Skeletons, are quite dull. Better than average for this list.

This one is such a funny and enjoyable album. I didn't expect to like it that much, but it truly is such a great album. Some songs are very good, and the first two songs start the album with a lot of energy. I wish the album sounded more like those first two songs, because it has other songs that are not really my cup of tea. But, as an overall, it's a very enjoyable album.

Até que é um álbum bem bom. O começo é bem legal e tem umas músicas no final que são legais também. Gostei de Zero, Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock e Runaway

Really enjoyable album. Consistently good all the way through. Zero 4 Heads will roll 4 Soft shock 3 Skeletons 4 Dull life 3 Shame and fortune 2 Runaway 2 Dragon Queen 4 Hysteric 4 Little shadows 2 Faces 3

Karen O doing what she does best. Smooth, confident and magnetic.

i first thought 'this one'? but it is good.

The songs that I know from this album (Zero, Heads Will Roll) are bangers. The rest of the album is good, I was able to listen through without having to skip anything which doesn’t often happen. There weren’t any standout songs other than what I already knew though. (4)

YYY started more garage rock like then took that energy, fused it with dance beats and came up with this great stuff. Amazing fun and energy and a sense of cool.

Me encantó, este tipo de rock medio electrónico combinado con los vocales femeninos es de mis combinaciones favoritas en la música. Disfruté tanto el álbum que tuve que escucharlo de nuevo, e incluso añadí varias canciones a mi playlist personal y a otra de objetivo específico.

*Good indie rock album but nothing was so great to make it a 5.

Better than I thought. Have heard a few tracks before and some new ones.

Terrific album to round out the aughts!

Hvis jeg skal danse, og det er et stort HVIS, så er det her my kind of disco. NYC kunne bare noget med bands der skabte melodisk, dancable men også rocket musik i ‘00erne. The Strokes og Interpol lå i den meget rockede ende. Bl.a. LCD Soundsystem var det elektroniske yderpunkt. Yeah Yeah Yeahs lagde sig lidt midt imellem.

The album with "Heads Will Roll". I liked the indie feel and can see why it was Grammy nominated for the alternative category.

I really liked this album. I have heard several Yeah Yeah Yeah albums before, but never listened to this one start to finish. This is definitely one I'd listen to again. It's a great album as far as Yeah Yeah Yeah's are concerned. I'm not 100% sure it's one of the 1001 best albums of all time, but it was a great listen!

I don't know why the YYYs aren't part of my musical diet more, considering I almost always enjoy them when they pop up. While I'm not sure this is among the 1,001 albums you need to hear before you die, it's very solid.

Very good album. Love me some synth pop. And by Americans no less. Surprised this made the list given the UK bias. I like Karen O's vocals. She's not a great singer but her vocals fit with with the material. Heads Will Roll!

I didn't realize that I knew some of these songs!

opening 4 tracks are the best run of their career, and better than most bands entire catalogue. Saw them on the tour for this and had a blast

ニューレイヴやエレクトロクラッシュといった2000年代の音楽にハマっていた時期があったので、聞いていないとおかしいはずなんだけど、このバンドは今回初めて聞いた。 エモーショナルでノスタルジックな、このジャンルに対して期待している魅力が存分に表現されていて、素晴らしいアルバムだった。

Very good one. Had a lot of fun

Pretty good album, starting off with some really good tracks and then the rest of the album was decent. They have this unique sound for their time where it's kind of rock, kind of alternative, kind of poppy, and their lead singer is giving me big time Pretenders vibes which is a big compliment in my back (apologies I don't know her name)

Well that was a blast from the past and a half! It transported me right back to the high top tent at Reading festival 2009! Top notch vocals that demand your attention with grungy guitar, heavy but also delicate at times. A BANGER!

Awesome!

Especially the acoustic versions were nice

I was only vaguely familiar with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their first release or two - which were fine to my ears, but nothing I was yearning for. So by the time this would have come out in 2009, I had already made up my mind that it wasn't really for me and didn't pay attention. Well seems like I should have paid attention. I really enjoyed this - much more musical than what my preconceived notions of the band were. The front half is really great - almost 5 territory for me, but I definitely got a little bored in the back half. That said, a really nice discovery thanks to this project.

A fantastic dive into poppier sounds while embracing all of the charm the band has.

Knew way more songs from here than I expected! Fun album to listen to, but started to lose me as it went on.

Actually really enjoyed this one. Only knew one song but the whole album is pretty good.

The two singles still brilliant but let down by the rest of the album

Ganske bra

Such a strong start to this album. First 5 songs are amazing and then the second half just doesnt live up to the beginning. Still an album I love and revisit frequently.

It’s Blitz,” the third studio release by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, stands out as a fantastic entry in the band’s discography. The album cover is striking and memorable, perfectly setting the tone for the music within. This record showcases a compelling blend of electronic and indie rock elements, resulting in a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. From start to finish, every song on the album stands out, making it a consistently engaging listen with no weak moments. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the band, “It’s Blitz” is sure to impress with its energetic style and creative production.

What a pleasant surprise this album is, it's been a long time! Yeah, I didn't know the band. Yeah, I like the rhythm and some of the melodies. Yeah, I want to listen to other albums by the band. Yeah, I'm really excited about its rating and I'm giving it a 4 out of 5! Yeahs !! ;-)

Great album. Some innovative stuff, some you have already heard but overall they just have their own style which is really nice.

Enjoyable indie/rock/electronic record with a lot of great vocals and instrumentals would listen again

Mid 4 I saw the yeah yeah yeahs at primavera and watched Mia d go absolutely crazy. Good times. This album is perfectly reasonable I enjoyed it

Yeah! That's more like it.

Never listened to this album before, but coming in as a fan of Fever to Tell. I’ve definitely heard “Heads Will Roll” get some airplay, but that’s actually a lesser track for me. I did enjoy its danciness and electro-influence, but I was really into the build-up to the searing guitar on “Zero” and the tenderness of tracks like “Little Shadow.” Definitely gonna return to this one a lot.

It's very hard for me to separate this album from a time in my life where everything took on new meaning. Karen O has such a great voice and this album is full of catchy riffs and lyrics..Zero, Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock...well I was naming songs based on the track list and realized I was about to name every track. I think each song here left my head bobbing and my toes tapping. It's missing that certain something that makes a 5 star album just that...maybe I'm just being careful not to let my nostalgia get the better of me...

Fun rock/indie electronic type album - kind of liked the OG heads will roll better than the remix.

Very good

Fun album that surprised me, not being very familiar with Yeah Yeah Yeahs other than Maps. Interesting evolution.

This is a fantastic example of 2000's NYC indie rock. Great melodies, great production. A very fine record.

Heads will roll e fantastica!

Love this album. Great energy. Great sound.

I've liked YYY for a while now, although I must confess that my introduction to them as a normie was through Rock Band. Listening to this album definitely made me go "ah okay I know this song, didn't realize it was YYY" a couple of times. They're not quite rough around the edges enough here, it feels like they pull back a bit with it. There are some great tracks: Zero and Hysteric stood out to me. I liked the melancholy, but slightly hopeful-sounding end with Little Shadow. A solid listen, much closer to the type of music I usually listen to compared to the first two albums generated for me.

I was very excited for a Yeah Yeah Yeah's album. The songs I normally listen to from them as typically much more upbeat and I think the singer Karen O does a really great job with that sort of breathy sound. However I was surprised by the amount of slower songs on this album, and while I didn't like them all (Skeletons was a miss for me), it did show me another side to a band I like that I didn't even know existed. No hot takes here, my favorite is the ever popular Heads Will Roll. Overall 4/5

Really fun record, no skips and quite a few excellent jams! I really appreciate that Yeah Yeah Yeahs find a way to be in between genres and mix so many elements well and in a way that is always interesting. Best Track: Hysteric

Some major dance classics, I'll always love you twee. Honestly had major personal preference for the acoustic versions

I had only heard the Yeah Yeah Yeah's lauded debut before, so was curious when I saw there was actually a second album chosen for this list. Released in 2009, a scant six years after the debut, this record shows considerable evolution. No longer an angry post-punk guitar band, The Yeah Yeah Yeah's have developed into an electronic indie dance band in the style of Metric (a band I also adore). There is sharp songwriting here - "Zero", "Heads Will Roll", "Dull Life" and the meditative "Skeletons". I loved the original sound of the band, but also love how they've grown and developed on "It's Blitz!"

Still can't decide if I love or merely like it.

This record grows on me every time I listen to it. Not sure if it will ever be my favorite YYYs record but it’s an another solid offering from Karen O and the boys.

Good shit! 4.75

Cool. Like it.

Jak party đir, akustare mi nisu nešto

Faktiskt rätt så bra! Bara trevlig, härlig synthpop, lätt att lyssna på och lätt att rekommendera :) Inga spår som stack ut SUPERmycket, men som helhet toppen!

I liked this one a lot more than the other Yeahx3 album on the list. No singular song was better than “Maps” but it was more consistent.

Straight banger!

I heard Heads Will Roll for the first time in ages recently, and was reminded what a banger it is. This album proves the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had more great tunes where that came from.

Love me some Karen O.

Never heard the Yeah Yeah Yeahs before this project, but they have definitely made me a fan.

Never heard of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs until now. Of course, I knew "Heads Will Roll," but I never connected it to them. This album feels like the definition of an 8 out of 10. It’s really good, and I can hear how it influenced some newer artists. I’d listen to it again, just not anytime soon. Solid 8/10. And am I crazy, or does "Skeletons" sound like a Kate Bush track?

Good! Good vibes all round.

Again, know them for a long time. Few songs have somewhat filler-perception but overall it's a great example what indie music should be.

Karen O is everything and I watched her repeatedly smash a corded microphone—just whipping it around and smacking it against the stage—at Red Rocks a week before I moved to New York, with my sister and Gabby and Salma… and I felt 19 again then and I feel 19 again now. Damn that’s how I want to do comedy—just flip out and smash stuff. I love this album! Also this was such a nice reminder that I love the song Runaway

Grooooossartigi Band! It's Blitzschnell gange bis ich die erste Tracks han müsse speichere. Rundum e feins Stück Album, mit guetem Abgang und eme lang ahhaltende, vorzügliche Nahgschmack. Für feuf yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahs fehlt doch no biz s chrible im Buch aber guet gmeinti vier yeah yeah yeah yeahs gits wie de blitz.

Great album only reason I give it go ur is because I wasn’t able to finish listening

найс

I heard of this group but never listened to them much. I enjoyed listening to this LP.

Like a disco at the end of the world. Dark, moody, spiky electronics and fierce vocals. Heads Will Roll is a classic.

A really great example of dancey guitar music done right. Imo it's better in every sense than most of the indie/dance sound of that time. It sounds a lot more like a band doing their own thing, compared to some. They were one of them bands who managed to cross over from that independent New York DIY scene into the mainstream without losing credibility, and I think this record is a good example of that. I imagine the 'cool' kids with their haircuts and ketamine like this as much as the arty kids. Karen O is cool as fuck too, her later stuff is fantastic and she's done some great collaborations. Does occasionally drift, probably a few songs too many, but on a whole it's a great record

Know heads will roll but otherwise haven't heard this album before. Definitely taking cues from the dance indie acts of the time, I thought it was really good. Still has the older YYY sound at the core but the electronic side of things added to it. Got a feeling this might grow on me even further but from a first listen there was a bit of filler than knocks a star off.

Only know yeah yeah yeahs from their singles, which were fine but didn't really make me want to go seek more out..... Really enjoyed this though. Knew zero and heads will roll, but think the rest was new to me. Soft shock, dull life and runaway were good too. Thought the acoustic tracks at the end were great too. At least 4, I'll be back

I fuck heavily with this.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an indie band I just never bothered with too much before. I liked Heads will Roll but didn’t go any deeper into their discography. I think the reason why is that they released their album Mosquito right about the time I was getting into more indie/alt stuff and that album has one of the worst album covers of all time so I basically avoided them entirely. Anyway this album has an ok cover and is actually pretty decent overall
