"Zero" is a song by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released as the lead single from their third studio album, ''It's Blitz!'' (2009). The song received critical acclaim from music critics for its production, and was named the best track of 2009 by both ''NME'' and ''Spin'' magazines. The single had minor commercial success, peaking at numbers four and eighteen on the ''Billboard'' Alternative Songs and Hot Dance Singles Sales charts, as well as number forty-nine on the UK Singles Chart. A music video for the single, which shows lead singer Karen O walking the streets of San Francisco at night, was released in March 2009. ==Critical reception== "Zero" received acclaim from music critics. Paula Carino of AllMusic described the song as "an exhilarating and wide-open expanse of pure electro-pop". Mary Bellamy of Drowned in Sound viewed the track as "the call to arms of a band who desperately want to teleport the refugees of fashion-fizzled pop, the hippest of hipsters and the weirdest outsiders to the dancefloor of their sweaty spaceship", stating it is "perhaps one of the band's finest moments ever committed to tape." Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe praised "Zero" as "flat-out phenomenal", while Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy called it "a saucy electro romp that makes even GaGa seem a tad coy". Michael Hubbard of musicOMH dubbed the song "an all out visceral onslaught, a keening mix of battered synths, drum machines and Nick Zinner's typically bloodless guitar playing", and referred to it as "a mix of ''Show Your Bones'' cleaner production with the grubbiness of the ''Is Is'' EP". PopMatters' Evan Sawdey opined that "()o YYY's song has ever been as disposable, replayable, or just outright fun as 'Zero'". "Zero" was named the best track of 2009 by both the ''NME'' and ''Spin'' magazines, while Pitchfork Media ranked it the sixth best song of the year. In October 2011, the ''NME'' placed the song at number thirty-nine on its list of the "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". Writing in retrospect, ''Guardian'' critic Alexis Petridis described it as proof of the band's difficulties at achieving commercial success: "''Zero'' sounded like a mammoth hit right up to the point it stalled at No 49 in the singles chart." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zero (Yeah Yeah Yeahs song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
