Zero is the first single out from the Yeah yeah yeahs off their new album It's Blitz!...which is completely amazing, therefore it hasn't left my cd player since I've put it in. They have quickly become my favorite band, especially following this cd .
It's Blitz! is very different from the YYYs previous albums in that it's more dance, more defined and less raw, less banshee scream more melody. Which was scary at first because the rawness of Karen O's voice and the music is really what made me love the band. Their new sound though, is just as good and just as unique. The lyrics are complete poetry and Karen definitely "sings" more in this album. She sings Hysteric, a completely sweet song that seems like love, to the song Heads Will Roll, where the chorus rings "off with your head, dance until you're dead, heads will roll...on the floor."
I guess there's a special edition, that I have, where the cd comes with acoustic versions of Hysteric, Little Shadow, Skeletons, and Soft Shock. Definitely worth the few extra dollars...these versions are beautiful. I'll have to talk about Karen O in a fashion sense next time because she's rad...but check out this album for sure, it's rediculous.

Did you hear that Regina Spektor will have a new album out in June?
