Q MagazineSo let any indie bands planning a trip to the keyboard shop take note: this is how it's done, with a desire to surprise and be surprised. [May 2009, p.104]
-
The result is the alternative pop album of the decade--one that imbues the Killers' "Hot Fuss" and MGMT's "Oracular Spectacular" with a remarkable emotional depth and finesse.
-
If this is the band's "Parallel Lines," they've brought tunes worth comparing.
-
It is precisely due to the band’s finesse that It’s Blitz! is so refreshing, despite being an old sound wrapped in glitter veneer.
-
Between its violently happy songs and its softer ones, It's Blitz! ends up being some of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' most balanced and cohesive music.
-
It’s Blitz! is the sound of a band reborn with new momentum, and on an album that requires dancing, the message is clear: It doesn’t matter where you came from. Just keep moving.
-
Six years later, the New York trio's third LP, It's Blitz!, is only as subversive as its cover image.

TobyHJun 13, 2009Brilliant from start to finish- especially Heads Will Roll, Soft Shock and Dragon Queen. Only Dull Life lets it down.

JerryJApr 3, 2009This band is still releasing more garbage? This album is just as bad if not worse than the last 2.
