Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It's Blitz! has a planned release date of April 14th.
More details about the album.
So... why should you care? My 2008 pick for RMAAY was Radiohead's In Rainbows. And while any album from Radiohead is an obvious choice for an RMAAY, I would like to point out that this particular Radiohead album was their best in over 10 years (yes, since OK Computer). I wont argue against the fact that Kid A was more groundbreaking in 2000, than In Rainbows was in 2008, but I am going to say that I think In Rainbows will stand out as a better album 8 years from now, than Kid A does today. Get it?
I will also go so far as to say that being selected for an RMAAY pretty much garauntees that the album will also be selected for some sort of Grammy, which will just be the icing on the cake.
