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.

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.

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.

Try Bronski Beat or Erasure with a pink Martini!

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

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

I like the way, for me anyway, these guys manage to pull off a certain 70s-style grit and growl...could be heralding another rich and tuneful artistic era, with solid roots and a new and re-invigorated sense of exploration and pushing the edges back again! ROCK IT, RP!

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!!

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 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 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....

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.
