Black tongue is a good song, cheers

It's Blitz 2009

I'm probably not the right person to be reviewing this album, as for me it just sounds like one of those 80's electronic post punk ventures that got buried in the annuals of time. Like a bad B version of the Eurythmics with synth chords being played in substitution for a strumming guitar.

In short, it seems like every post punk/ or post punk revivalist band has this bizarre tendency to turn electronic after making a killer rock album. I say leave the electronic music to the pros like Underworld & Portishead.

No real songs worth posting, ** stars

Mosquito 2013

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's latest album is a trip, some pretty good stuff on here.

Very mellow and subdued and more organic than the last one. They're still making use of the synth affects, but for most of the album it plays more of a subordinating role, and is used much more effectively than in the It's Blitz! release. The album almost has a bit of a down tempo trip hop feel to it, especially with songs like Subway and the dub based track Under the Earth. The opening song sacrilege of course is the banner song on this release, and from there it nudges on fairly well until it hits a slow decline near the end.

Sacrilege

Under the earth

Well that wraps it up for the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.
