It’s Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It’s Blitz! is an album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released in 2009. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 48 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Zero”, on 28 lists with a best position of #10.
It's Blitz!, the third album from New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs, arrived on Interscope in 2009, rushed out early after the whole thing leaked online in February. Nick Launay produced it alongside TV on the Radio's David Sitek, and the band that came up through the garage-rock and post-punk revival now sounds like it has found the dance floor: synths glitter and throb where guitars used to snarl, Nick Zinner works both, Brian Chase keeps a tight, propulsive beat and Karen O swings between swagger and heartbreak.
"Zero" kicked the doors open and "Heads Will Roll" turned the room into a strobe-lit party, with "Skeletons" as the tender comedown. The record earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
