YEAH YEAH YEAHS - It's Blitz!
Despite its manic title and crushing cover, It's Blitz! finds both singer Karen O and guitarist Nick Zinner with their wildness in check. Indeed, Zinner appears to never even pick up a guitar until the four bonus tracks arrive--and those are acoustic. It's a significant change of energies for sure, but one that confirms that in the aftermath of the white-hot destruction for which they're famous, this trio is capable of something just as affecting and arresting--an album of real songs that aim for your heart, not your jugular.
