Listen To This!

Despite mixed reviews, It’s Blitz isn’t that much of a departure from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s previous work. OK, so Heads Will Roll’s disco-happy synth beats may have thrown fans a little, and the album overall has inherited a new, less guitar-centred sound. But that’s just fine. What we have been handed here is a fantastic, beat-driven piece of pop. It’s dancefloor filling stuff, and if it makes the indie hipsters turn their noses up and shuffle off to listen to a bit more Of Montreal, well, it’s their loss and our gain.
