Attack and Release

by: Black Keys

Release Date March 31, 2008
I love the Black Keys, seen them live a couple of times and own first 3 albums. But for me the magic was starting to wear a little thin! A little one tracked for my liking so much so Ive not even heard the last album. This is great and a real breath of fresh air from 'em. The groove on Remember When (Side B) is totally kicking and Psychotic Girl is being spun and spun. Not so sure about the "over produced" comments, yes its more than we are used but its a welcome change from the straight drums and geeeeetar! No longer a one trick pony and a great record. What next a collaboration with Jay-Z at Glasto? 5 Stars.

The Big Come Up

by: Black Keys

Release Date September 11, 2006
You won't be disappointed with this CD. It's no gamble to buy it if you haven't heard The Black Keys play - as long as you like rock, or blues, you will love this album. They seem to be on a marathon US tour at the moment but could be in the UK September 2006, so you've got time to get this and realise what you've been missing from your life before you see them live!! You won't regret it, honest.

Rubber Factory

by: Black Keys

Release Date August 15, 2005
This is easily the best album they have done, i've owned it for a while and not written a review but upon seeing all the other reviews i felt it had to be said. THE ONLY SIMILARITY WITH THE THE WHITES STRIPES IS THAT THEY'RE A TWO PIECE BAND. They sound entirely different and for a start, Pat can drum and meg can't. However there is a feel of hendrix and definately cream/clapton about theyre songs; this the best album out of the 6(including te EP, which is worth buying aswell)and everyone should buy it. Enjoy.

Chulahoma: the Songs of Junior Kimbrough

by: Black Keys

Release Date May 01, 2006
I agree with the two other 5* reviews already given for this EP. It is a truly superb piece of work. I can't imagine many other bands covering an EP of someone else's material and to do so you must really love it.

If you like blues of any sort and especially The Black Keys then you'll love this. It could just as easily be an album of their own compositions. Pure blues magic.

You even get a little message from Junior Kimbrough's widow thanking the guys for doing such a good job.

Thanks guys (and Junior Kimbrough for the songs).

Thickfreakness

by: Black Keys

Release Date June 20, 2005
Raw, tough, fiery and polished. This album has to be one of the best around for all of these things. If you're into Led Zepp, Hendrix, 70s blues rock etc then this has to be in your collection. Not that the Black Keys sound the same as any of these people/groups mentioned, they've got a sound and a style of their own. But it's a good bet that if you feel music in your bones from that bunch then this duo with their stripped down sound and ferocious tunes will get to you in the same way.

Magic Potion

by: The Black Keys

Release Date
It appears that the BKs have been listening to quite a bit of Led Zep before recording this album, but forgot that they also did quicker songs too! Overall, there are some ok tunes, but there is less of a funky blues edge, and more plodding, dirge like blues rock. There's still stuff on here for BK fans, but I no longer listen to it, while I constantly listen to all their other albums.

If you haven't heard the Black Keys before then you should start with one of their albums, but if you have and are wondering if you should buy this - then do it! You know you won't be disappointed.
