JDVJun 5, 2009A worthy stab at the indie electro-rock trend, but nothing compared to Fever to Tell.

franzoMay 9, 2009Nothing to compare with their other works. I think they're under their possibilities. This album sound like "plastic". Where are the guitars!!!!

RichardCApr 1, 2009The 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.

Their third album offers an advance on the ecstatic dance punk of 2003 debut "Fever to Tell" and beefy rock of 2006's "Gold Lion," boldly pushing synths centre stage while sacrificing none of their vitality.

Sure, it's easy to lament how fangless they sound here, with just hints of the skuzzy basement ferocity that has made Fever to Tell one of the decade's most enduring records. But the finesse they display here, on their most mature and stylistically coherent record, may ultimately serve them even better.

After 10 songs, the digital version It's Blitz! is padded out with four acoustic renditions of songs on the album. But even with an acoustic guitar at the forefront and Karen O harmonizing with string sections and pianos, the songs--and, crucially, the melodies - still don't convey much.
