An incredible return to all-conquering form, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's are back!!!

A worthy stab at the indie electro-rock trend, but nothing compared to Fever to Tell.

It's been a long time since I've been so addicted to an album. This is amazing. Incredible. I love it! It's great with a little change, and just as Nick Zinner said: "You can't do the same thing over and over, or you'll end up being a parody of yourself".

Another triumph by the YYY's! Nick Zinner is still a guitar cannibal- utilizing classic, angular YYY guitar work that hits in the jugular. Only this time, masking it in a homage of 80's ether- bringing the punk grime of CBGB's to the pristine, ecstacy-laced dancefloors of the Lower East Side. Some tracks like "Skeletons" are a little weaker and "Dragon Queen" seems completely unnecessarily placed in the package in order to seal up the 'cracks in the concrete'. However, overall, this is the most even YYY album of their career.… Expand

Nothing to compare with their other works. I think they're under their possibilities. This album sound like "plastic". Where are the guitars!!!!

Sure I miss Nick Zinner's guitars. I don't even typically like the dance music that influenced this album. But I can't pretend that I don't think this is the YYY's best album. And there's not an album I've listened to more this year so far. "Skeletons" is one of the most beautiful tracks ever. Well done NYC art poseurs...well done. Lydia Lunch can go F herself.

It's Blitz is my 2009 CD of the year. It seems like the people that panned this CD gave it a low rating because it's not a rehashed Fever to Tell. Well, thats because Karen O. isn't 23 anymore. I respect the YYYs for not being complacent and trying to do something different.

The things that I love so much about the Yeah Yeah Yeah's have completely disappeared from this album. What happened to that raw, edgy, filthy sound from fever to tell? I'm all for doing something different, but to me this sounds like radio friendly rubbish. Compared to their previous stuff, this bores me to death.

Irresistible. I'd give it 8 but I want to rank the average higher ;)

As far as 2009 goes, this is the best album I've heard all year.

Some people may not like the fact that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have changed their sound a bit. But I think this is the perfect direction they could've taken. The album contains some of the band's best material (e.g., Soft Shock, Skeletons, Hysteric and Little Shadow). This CD will only disappoint you if you're looking for "Fever to Tell Part II".

amazing and catchy!

The best they've ever done. As of April, it's also the best album of the year.

Fantastic Album! The YYY's fresh take on their unique sound is superbly crafted and sounds great! Full of catchy tunes this album is sure to be a crowd-pleasing success!

Brilliant from start to finish- especially Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock and Dragon Queen. Only Dull Life lets it down.

The best album of 2009. period. It's Blitz, It's Amazing! Because of this album, I am a diehard fan of the wonderful Yeah Yeah Yeahs, now. They show me why I love music so much! Thank you Karen, Brian, and Nick.

This splendoriferous gem is 2009's finest! You'll probably find yourself wanting to 'dance, dance, dance till you're dead'.

After listening to the album a few dozen times I can honestly say the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have made music that I can not like. There are a couple of good songs, "Head Will Roll" "Runaway"... but nothing tremendous to make up for track that can only be described by one word. "blah". There's no soul in this album. I will have to wait until Karen O decides to focus on releasing an album as Native Korean Rock. This looks promising, they will probably produce a classic album based on what I've heard of them. It's blitz is easily disposable. It's not horrible. But it sure isn't good.… Expand

Great album, and it should have some billboard charting hits Im predicting. The album starts strong with 'zero' and 'soft shock' and especially 'skeletons'. From 'runaway' anwards there are NO lags in the album, all great songs. I haven't heard the 15 song special edition version of this album but im wishing that i paid the extra $3Cdn on Itunes to get. Should be a fan pleasing album as well as commercial success.… Expand

Awesome path for the YYY's to take. Regardless of anyone saying that MGMT may have given them their script, MGMT cannot fathom the depth and range that Karen O has with her presence and vocals. The songs are all pretty great with even the not fantastic still being a great exercise in songwriting and production. For a band that has always scaled down to produce and explore other sounds is always a treat. I highly recommend this for anyone that was a fan, and am expecting great things from this tour. To imagine this music with the tracks from Fever, and Show, well it's going to be a fantastic tracklist!… Expand

At first It's Blitz is jarring in that its sound on the surface is a lot different: more electronic/beat heavy, more restrained and cleaner. However, after a few listens I have fully warmed up to it and feel it's one of their most mature and well-written albums. "Hysteric" is a chill and beautiful gem. There's still a lot of the grit and edge that made the YYYs so appealing before, but it's been tweaked so that they're still interesting yet moving forward.… Expand

So the Yeah Yeah Yeahs make a electronic/dance album, totally unexpected, and it's still amazing. Easily some of their best songs to date, and possibly their best album. Nice. (The acoustic tracks are worth downloading too, if you want to get a grip on some of the songs, but aren't quite into the new sound.)

Easily the best and most infectious album of the year so far. The first 2 tracks, "Zero" and "Heads Will Roll" are simply amazing. Several other gems on this album to round it out.

Im glad i took art in high school b/c i met a cuul girl who turned me on to this ill band. 'Its Blitz' shows their sound so evolved and different, it is the same killer band--more tuned & polished, fantastic production, creative lyrics--hear for yourself !

This band is still releasing more garbage? This album is just as bad if not worse than the last 2.

Genre mislabeled. Although the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an Indie Rock group, the majority of this album is clearly dance music. Amazing album all the way through, although it does have that commercial gateway indie feel. The dance numbers are Lady Tron with a splash of Madonna. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs seem to be moving in the same direction of Kings of Leon: mass appeal, but still cool as a cucumber. Worth the price of admission of guilt.… Expand

Overall a good album. More accessible than fever to tell, certainly better than show your bones. There are a few dud songs like skeletons however the good songs are so good that they easily leave you with an overall positive impression of the album. If you like the YYYs then you will like this.

An amazingly captivating and danceable album. My new favorite of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Lame. A TREMENDOUS dissapointment. Right now I wish that they would have tried doing something new (not new to them... but, revolutionary). I remember a couple years back they said they were "traveling the world" trying to find a "new sound".. so I waited...... and they come out with this crap! It sounds like many things, I even heard some songs with Madonna tunes mixed in... WTF! (Not sure if they realized the were doing it..) In all honesty I don't HATE it. But it is not good; not just by YYY standards, but by any MUSIC loving person's standards. It's Blitz has no soul, no fun. For the first time in my life I am NOT going to their concert because I've seen them on youtube performing and Karen O has become a standing statue of boredom... I can't blame her, however. HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE FUN OR BEGIN TO FEEL ANYTHING WITH SUCH RUN OF THE MILL MUSIC AND HORRIBLE LYRICS!!! (With the "thank God!" exception of 2, maybe 3 songs) WHO IS POSTING REVIEWS?! NINE YEAR OLD GIRLS?!!! JUST BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FAVORITE BAND, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD. I would be rating it a 5 but since everyone thinks that these ratings are just a game and think "I was going to rate them an 8 or 7, but I want them to have a higher average rating" (RETARDS! Can't even tell the truth of their opinions) Now I rate them a 1. So that they could go down to what they deserve to be. Ughhhh... I hope that their next album is the best album they've ever made. I don't want to see a great band fall just because they want success or to "do something new". In that case DO SOMETHING GOOD!… Expand

I've really gotten to liking the YYYs more with each album... Some will put it down and call it "overproduced," but that is just a narrow and ignorant stance on an extremely polished, lovingly crafted album. The band just keeps getting better... Their live performances are spectacular, and their music is lyrically beautiful. I can't wait to see what they do next.

Pop Perfection!

Simply amazing, there is not a song on the album that I do not love.

Not a genre that I usuallly enjoy but It's Blitz is definitely in my top 10 so far this year.

A highly solid, exciting and different effort for this solid, exciting and different trio.

This sounds nothing like Fever To Tell. Fever To Tell is a punk rock sounding album. It's Blitz sounds a lot more cleaner. It's better produced. And that is a great thing. It's Blitz really shows the beauty of Karen O's voice. It's simply stunning. Tracks like "Soft Shock" and "Heads Will Roll" are amazing. All In All, this album is just as good as their debut album Fever To Tell. A-
