Yeah Yeah Yeahs I It's Blitz! I 2009
Karen O and the boys took a surprising turn on their latest album. Dance floor friendly tracks, that are guaranteed to put you in great mood, are beautifully melded in with gentle rock lullabies. From start to finish this album is full of songs that are to be cherished for all their poetic splendour and melodic joy. Though I still love the harder edge of their previous albums, I cannot praise the band enough for departing into this brilliant new territory.
Highlights...
Zero - "shake it like a latter to the sun" says it all.
Heads Will Roll - new age goth rock meets electro dance brilliance.
Soft Shock - the vocals, the beat, the lyrics...magnificent.
Dull Life - the bands hard edge comes shining through, picking the pace of the album up a notch
Shame and Fortune - down and dirty guitar anthem with a pulsating sound
Hysteric - this song is on a level of its own, a whimsical rock ballad of a new generation.
