Take a look at the cover of the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album - immediate, powerful, fun isn't it? Yep and it fits the sound of this new album from the New York based trio perfectly. Rocking straight into opening track "Zero" the band have added a welcome dose of healthy electronics to their sound. The synth on the first track really sets the tone for the record and adds a buzzing, fun, and energetic overtone which makes this song really a lot of fun to listen to. Just beware, the chorus is an absolute killer and will be stuck in your head for the next week. The same can be said for "Heads Will Roll" with it's killer ending "off, off, off ...  Read the complete review

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are here with their third full-length album, having emerged from the cocoon that was 2006's critically-acclaimed "Show Your Bones" as a fully-formed sonic dance punk outfit.

IT'S BLITZ is the title of indie rock band the YEAH YEAH YEAHS album. The album features 10 tracks. The highlight of this album is the wonderful instrumental work especially from the guitar and drums which adds a freshness to tracks like SKELETONS and RUNAWAY.

The guitar work reminds me of some of OASIS's classics. The vocals in tracks such as SHAME AND FORTUNE and DRAGON QUEEN add a touch of elegance and highlight that the band can really sing. The vocals are on top form on the ...  Read the complete review

This is the album where the Yeah Yeah Yeahs change direction and put down their guitars only to replace them with synthesizers! and why not when you consider that everyone else is doing it these days...(these days??) For this reason the album is not exactly inspirational but it does seem that the yeah yeah yeahs have successfully evolved into a synthy sounding band through this album. I would say that the yeah yeah yeahs have always been more of a club band and so progressing to more dance orientated tracks would only prove natural. Zero is the first on the album, the single which they released and proves to be intriguing but leaves you wanting ...  Read the complete review
