About this listen
After more than a decade of digging into the albums that shaped modern music, The Sonic Collective returns with a thrilling reassessment of a record that deserves far more love. For our December 2025 episode, podcast member Scott Gregory throws down a bold pick: the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ electrifying 2009 release It’s Blitz!—an album that pushed the band beyond garage-rock swagger into sleek, pulse-driven art-pop. Some of the panel came in as newcomers, unsure of what to expect, but the verdict was overwhelmingly enthusiastic as the record revealed itself to be daring, emotional, and remarkably ahead of its time. Along the way, we unpack fascinating stories behind the album, explore why the Yeah Yeah Yeahs never quite received the same cultural coronation as peers like The White Stripes, LCD Soundsystem, or The Strokes, and argue passionately for It’s Blitz! as a modern classic that still hits hard today. If you’ve overlooked this album—or haven’t revisited it in years—this episode makes a compelling case for turning it up loud and giving it the attention it’s always deserved.
