There songs are good, but I find listening to, and watching these guys live MUCH more interesting than listening to their records.

I have an even better idea.  If you don't like reading comments...let's just listen to the music AND not read the comments.  

Pfffft.  Justin Bieber is like, so much better.  

I have a really awesome idea guys.

Let's just listen to the music!!~

As a previous poster commented, the redundancy is amazing. I was convinced this was a different song, that I decided I liked a lot and gave it a rating before realizing it was a different song, but so similar I was momentarily confused. Needless to say redundancy on RP gets triple penalty points.

Helluva an album: Motown, T.Rex, rock and roll, etc.

Try Bronski Beat or Erasure with a pink Martini!

Not their best song - still a 7 (and I hate all this 7's here!).

Thanks for the link!!! 

No they don't manage to, and they're not pushing the edges. They're poseurs pointing at something and falling short.

Not to me friendo.  I could hear a 5 second blast from any track they have done and instantly give you the album.  I mean just the difference in production styles from say Rubber Factory and El Camino gives it a totally different slant for me.

How bout a Black Keys eraser? All their songs sound the same, stupid and annoying, grating, yuk. Stupid!

Why not play some old Free or Black Oak Arkansas? Black Keys are over-rated and on my last nerve, every time. Why, RP? 

Let it be over!!

That's cause they all sound exactly the same which is fine but does not do well with repitition. I couldn't even listen to a whole album of these guys.  I mean there is nothing wrong with them and all but one of their songs every blue moon works better.

One catchy song after another. They keep amazing me.

I just keep falling deeper in love with these guys and their sound.  There's nothing like a band or a muscian/artist who truly has their own sound.  The eyes closed and "I know who this is" instant slap.  A tip of my hat to The Black Keys, may they continue their art without compromise.

I saw a review on iTunes describing this album (in a good way) as "flashy trash" - quite agree. Love it, and looking forward to this:

(check out the video - love the way he looks a bit hesitant but is all over it by the end!) 

Excellent stuff. keep it coming.

the black keys are the new black

very good stuff

Plays in past month = plays in last 30 days.  7 plays = once every 4 days or so.  Seems about right for this excellent recent release. It'll be down to a couple of times per month before much longer.

Totally disagree.  If you're going to be obsessed it might as well be with the awesome Black Keys as they don't have any bad songs.

I think it's about time to tone down the black keys obsession Bill.....  7 plays this month, it's only the 13th and that's just this song....

Oh, now let it be over, over Oh, now let it be over, let it be over, over.

I kept agreeing.

I hope Heart is getting some residuals for that riff they stole borrowed.  Oh what the hell, there are only like ten chords you can do on a guitar without having 6 fingers so rock on.

Next time I bay an album it will be El Camino!

That´s so cool combination: Twillight Zone and Black Keys! Congrats Bill!

WHAT is that riff from?  Heart?  Does anyone else hear it?  "Quite some ti-iiime.  I been sitting it out."

Right?  Am I straight on, or what?
