I heard two songs from It's Blitz! and have no desire to hear more. Bring back the garage rock howling guitars and Karen O's sexual panting!
I was pretty turned off to It's Blitz leading up to the record's release, but it really is just Show Your Bones with a few more ballads.
But it looks like the Fever to Tell days are over forever, which is really a drag.
