CD: YEAH YEAH YEAHS: It’s Blitz! (2009)
Even though this album came out in the beginning of 2009, I didn’t get my hands on it until now. Sure, I knew some of the singles, but I always enjoy listening to an album from front to back when given the opportunity.
And for the past few days, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing with this one. If someone were to compare this album to their first, Fever to Tell, they might think this one is a bit subdued. A bit clear. Maybe not as heavy. But what I really enjoy about musicians is seeing how they evolve through their albums.
While I can’t say the mood varies too greatly from their second album, Show Your Bones, I definitely can hear a difference. I like how there are some 80’s influences in the beats, and what I’ve always enjoyed about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is how they play with sounds.
Like I’ve said in the past, I’m no music expert at all, but I adore and love and crave music at all times. Considering that I’ve listened to the entire album over and over in the past few days, I’d say it was successful in pulling me into its world.
