The Black Keys - Brothers

I don't mind the cover.

I'm just being difficult.

standard windows font. grrrr

Seriously though, that cover is the greatest.

I think the cover's ace.

Is it not cool to use fonts that come with computers?

Cooper black isn't standard is it? I like the cover but black keys zzzzz

I can't stop thinking about that cover and how much I love it.

And I like the Black Keys.

These guys rule. Hard.

I like the cover. And can't wait to hear the album. There's my two cents.

I think the cover is fantastic. The first single ''Tighten up'' has been in my head all week.

I'm buying this tonight. Anyone seen it on vinyl anywheres in melbz?

Halfway through my first listen now...it's awesome, as usual.

I've changed my mind...it's not awesome.... it's better than that.

Am so loving this album. 10 cent pistol, and Howlin' for You, Everlasting Light...great songs

the band, album, and album cover is balls.

unlike this record.

Why is the album balls? Mind you, I haven't heard it yet.

Means its got the balls that he don't.

just more bland blues rock without any grit...y'know the stuff they've been specialising in for the last 9 years or so. but hey, each to their own, i'm just pissy cause they ripped off the howling wolf cover. .

Listening to the Black Keys has always felt to me like getting repeatedly jabbed in the eardrum with a rolled-up copy of Mojo magazine.

When I listen through an ipod...there's no vocal lines. I was thinking ''gee, long intro to this song'' & then it ended.

i listened to the first half in the car... from listening to that, it's great. best record they've put out since rubber factory. fuzztones are pretty great, and the keys, synths and claps are well done.

are these guys blacks?

this album is as awesome as this latest troll is interesting

so goodly.

I don't know much black music, Ed Green is good i guess

who said keys? heh heh heh/

Does anyone know who is playing in their touring band these days? I saw them on Letterman and one of them looked familiar.. the bassist.. hmm

I've only ever seen the two of them on stage

Video footage. Apparently on Jimmy Fallon's show tonight so I can get another look at this guy

sounds like gnarls barkley

That's true, they do a bit. He looks like this French person I once knew, but it wouldn't make sense him playing with him. Well he was a musician, but yeah, weird.

This LP f(*&ing rules!

indeed. absolutely loving it.

Yeah, it's super solid.

Man, the dude has been going through so serious babe troubles.

The progression on this album is really impressive. These guys are not locked in some never-changing retro world, but, rather, are exploring a much funkier, southern soul sound this time round. I'm a big fan...

My review: http://onealbumaday.wordpress.com/2010/07/13/369-the-black-keys-brothers/

blues. important.

exploring a much funkier, southern soul sound

recorded at muscle shoals, wasn't it?

Indeed... and you can hear it

I know this is a long shot, but I'm after 2 tickets for their sold out show at the Enmore. If anyone has some tickets to offload, I'm your man.

no longer touring Aus/NZ

FUUUCK!

Big Day Out replacement:

On a positive note, Big Day Out promoters are pleased to announce the inclusion of the most excellent Paul Dempsey who is reforming his band especially for these Australian shows.

bloody good thing I don't have a BDO ticket then...I was regretting missing out on The Black Keys!

Now that they're not playing BDO, I'm only going to see 2 bands and leave... THANK YOU BLACK KEYS!!!!

Oh and how is that whiny fuckstain Paul Dempsey a suitable replacement?

Song off new album out in Dec, sounds alright...

That video is just awesome. Not a bad song either.

Loving the new album.

Dan to produce DR John's new LP

I'm excited. Are you excited?

it'd be betterer if danger mouse was producing it, with the black keys playing on it.
