About this album
It’s Blitz! is the third full-length album by New York band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was originally set for release on April 13, 2009, however after being leaked to the Internet on February 23, the release date was pushed forward to March 9 for the digital version and March 31 for the CD, with an April 6 release for the rest of the world. The first single Zero was released on February 24, 2009. The album was produced by the band’s long-term producer Dave Sitek, along with Nick Launay.
The album has been generally well received by critics, having a weighted average rating of 81/100 (Universal acclaim), according to Metacritic, based on 32 reviews. NME wrote that “It’s Blitz!’s heartfelt love letter to the transcendent possibilities of the dancefloor is an unexpectedly emphatic reassertion of why Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of the most exciting bands of this decade”, while Spin said that it 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”.Meanwhile, in a track-by-track preview of the album, The Fly said that It’s Blitz! is “an amazing return for Yeah Yeah Yeahs… an instant classic”, later giving the album a rating of 4.5 out of 5. The BBC called the album “a triumphant return for New York’s finest”. Clash commented that the trio had achieved growth without distancing themselves from what made their name: “The album proves that they can provide epic music with personal themes, that YYYs can expand without losing what made us fall for them in the first place”.

took a while to grow on me, but now I really like it. I was expecting something more like Is Is, which was the primary source for initial disappointment, but now Im glad they've advanced their sound

I have loved the YYYs since forever and I'm really psyched about this album. I wish they would have put more dancey songs in there though, but I still love the slower songs. I love the esoteric but very heartfelt lyrics.

its a good album but i wish there was at least 1 or 2 faster, i mean more upbeat songs weather electronicish or more preferably more like their older stuff with some new elements would have balanced this album better. i think theirs too many soft slow songs to be called its BLITZ. i mean look up the definition of blitz. I do like this album though, as well as the others.
