Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito

[trojanchick99]

Can't wait!

 

[Steved1998]

It's like the 90's threw up all over it.

I hope the 90s throws up all over U2 next.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege (Audio) - YouTube

 

[u2popmofo]

Pretty cool.

Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio's guitar player) produced.

 

[LemonMelon]

He produced It's Blitz too and did a fantastic job.

Really excited to hear this, will do so soon.

 

[cobl04]

Fucking love it. Love that it's called Sacrilege and ends in a chaotic gospel choir.

 

[PhilsFan]

That almost made me forget how terrible the album cover is.

I don't like lo-fi production.

 

[cobl04]

Pretty cool.

Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio's guitar player) produced.

That dude's a boss. He looks like Clark Kent too.

Speaking of TVOTR they've been quiet of late.

 

[bono_212]

Gospel Choir!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That opening couplet is pretty weak, but the melody is so pure and simple that it works.

And the chorus is an earworm and I really dig the choir ending.

Welcome back.

 

[LemonMelon]

Sounds like the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds covering Dull Life, with a gospel choir. Really dark and bluesy, but insistent and kinda catchy. I like it a lot.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

they just announced a NYC date on April 7th at Webster Hall.

[bono_212]

Dr. Octopus was buried alive, by his robot arms.

 

[LemonMelon]

[ft. Dr. Octagon]

wtf

09 Always
10 Despair
11 Wedding Song

I'm wondering if this is a narrative arc.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Sacrilege is getting a lot of play on Sirius/XM's Alt Nation. It's growing on me.

 

[iron yuppie]

I like it as well. I need to get reacquainted with the back catalogue.

 

[Saracene]

I like the new track a lot. I just hope it won't be like their last album where I loved the first track and nothing else much.

 

[LemonMelon]

Zero might be one of my favorite lead singles ever. I wasn't a big YYYs fan before that track knocked me flat on my ass.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Word.

Zero is a definite career highlight. That song rules so hard. It's just so immediate, and in your face, and infectious, and fun. Love the music video, too.

 

[u2popmofo]

Maps seemed far bigger than Zero in regards to reception. That song was everywhere.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, absolutely. I wasn't comparing the two. Didn't mean to convey that Zero was bigger. Just that it's easily one of the best things they've done.

Get yr leather on, mofo.

 

[u2popmofo]

Both are good.

I know I've mentioned it a number of times in the past, but I highly recommend the IS IS EP.

 

[PhilsFan]

I was surprised that Heads Will Roll ended up being bigger than Zero. I thought Zero had a more memorable hook.

 

[cobl04]

I was surprised that Heads Will Roll ended up being bigger than Zero. I thought Zero had a more memorable hook.

Heads Will Roll's club mix caught on fire, so it's no surprise.

The amount of times I heard "OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF WITH YOUR HEAD" or "THE MEN CRY OUT THE GIRLS CRY OUT THE MEN CRY OUT THE GIRLS CRY OUT" in clubs at the time was ridiculous.

 

[PhilsFan]

I still hear it here and there. There's like twenty different remixes at this point. I haven't really liked any of them.

 

[Imperor]

Having sex with Karen O would be a real treat for me.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

i wish they would announce some tour dates where they will be headlining.. All I am seeing so far is festivals! and one show in NYC.

 

[cobl04]

Having sex with Karen O would be a real treat for me.

I felt this way after I Can Be a Frog was released.
