They have an upcoming tour in the US so it made me think of this album.

Y Control for me

haudrum, Thursday, 1 March 2018 02:41 (six years ago) link

God I love this album so much. Y Control for me too.

I think I've only ever heard three songs off this album.

The Bad Plus's version of "Maps" did make me interested in listening to this. Probably a good time.

Date With The Night is what I go back to these days.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 March 2018 03:28 (six years ago) link

They never made a record better than It's Blitz!, IMO.

it's blitz is the only albums of theirs i go back to these days

ufo, Thursday, 1 March 2018 07:33 (six years ago) link

I did re-listen to this today and the singles do stand out. I love the raw power this album has overall. I couldn't get past how brilliant "Maps" still is.

Maps!

kolakube (Ross), Friday, 2 March 2018 02:02 (six years ago) link

Maps and Y Control are the obvious standouts, but I'm tempted to go for Pin. It's the song that won me round.

Agree with Turrican and ufo that It's Blitz is by far their best work. Shame that they didn't continue that winning streak with Mosquito.

I'm thinking about going to their show this week, they are playing with LCD Soundsystem.

the future is now, Saturday, 3 March 2018 01:59 (six years ago) link

I said this week but meant this year.

the future is now, Saturday, 3 March 2018 02:25 (six years ago) link

They are amazing live.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Saturday, 3 March 2018 02:33 (six years ago) link

i liked that the recent reissue/box came wrapped in red fishnet.

Maps.

10 years ago this summer, my sister walked down the aisle to this version

"Date With The Night"

Blue Room, Saturday, 3 March 2018 19:04 (six years ago) link

i remember polling It's Blitz and agree it's their best. voting "Maps."

Bee OK, Saturday, 3 March 2018 21:05 (six years ago) link

Maps is undeniably incredible even though the title still doesn't make any sense to me and I don't now what Maps is supposed to mean (I don't buy that "My Angus Please Stay" story).

Really? Huh. I never thought to question it.

It’s Blitz really is is great but this album holds a special place in my heart. I saw them in London when they toured for this album and I don’t think I’d ever been as immediately blown away by a lead singer as I was by KO.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Saturday, 3 March 2018 23:23 (six years ago) link

"Really? Huh. I never thought to question it." the explanation or why she's singing "maps, they don't love you like I love you"? I mean that sounds like she is really into cartography. It's not M.A.P.S., it's 'maps'. And this story about her actually crying in the video because Angus didn't show up...it's not like the song was written the time the video was shot. This all sounds like apocryphal stretching to me.

akm, Sunday, 4 March 2018 00:00 (six years ago) link

I just imagined it like she could tell someone was planning to leave her and consulting figurative or literal maps that will show him the path out of there.

I had never heard that this was about someone named Angus. Now it's gonna make me think about 6 dollar burgers.

Haven't heard the rest of this album either. I just had the Maps single. I should get around to fixing that I guess.

no doubt, where it all started and a great debut.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Angus was her boyfriend at the time, from Liars
