iTunes Review
Akron, Ohio’s Black Keys hooked up with Gnarls Barkley producer Danger Mouse for their fifth studio album and first to be recorded in a real recording studio. The added fidelity, along with the addition of special guests, Tom Waits’ sidemen Marc Ribot and Ralph Carney, make for surprisingly standard nightclub blues (“Oceans and Streams”, and a duet with country-bluegrass singer Jessica Lea Mayfield for “Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be”). Organs and background vocals trill in full-blown, full-band orthodox glee. (The Black Keys initially were composing an album for R&B legend Ike Turner who unexpectedly passed before the collaboration could commence.) Elsewhere, the band’s defiant, independent spirit can be heard in the crackle and hum of the blues-based, but overall punk-inspired energy of “I Got Mine”, “Strange Times”, and “Remember When (Side B)”. The two-man band use the extra fidelity to spread out a desolate, lonesome mood for “Lies” and “Remember When (Side A)” and a psychedelic crunch for “Same Old Thing” where a bird-calling flute adds a late-‘60s vibe.
Customer Reviews
True, Not As Bluesy...
But ALWAYS the Keys. I was a bit sceptical at first myself, what with it being produced in a "proper" studio by Dangermouse (Gnarls Barkley fame), but this album really does deliver everything we all love about the Black Keys. The inclusion of various other instruments and, on occasion, voices, does nothing to hinder or disfigure the sound this duo have made themselves a career out of. Buy it, listen to it, then listen to it again and tell me you aren't that keen. Betcha don't.
Read This !
I' ve been listening to The Black Keys for 4 or 5 years now after reading a small review in Q and was instantly amazed I can't belive they have n't got more press over the years. This album has got me brainwashed too can' t turn it off, I'm listening to it now its pure quality.Check out The Rubber Factory and Thickfreakness and then The Magic Potion and The Big Come Up the most consistantly brilliant band for years. They are touring soon go and see you won' t be sorry.Spread the word !!
Different, but still great!
I'll start off like every one else and say that this is quite a departure for the Black Keys from their bluesy roots. The sounds are much less raw than on previous albums, with layers of sounds producing the overall effect. This is no bad thing though, the album is certainly more polished for it and sounds great. This album is a refreshing change to what i was expecting and i've been enjoying since i got it. It shows them trying new things musically, writing some awesome lyrics and generally being damn cool. I would recommend "Attack & Release" to any Black Keys fan. The highlights are "Strange Times", "Psychotic Girl", "Remember When (Side B)", "So She Won't Break" and "Oceans and Streams". p.s. Track 12 is a little pointless as it's just samples from the album.
