I love the raw production and simplicity.

Very Clash-like.

Whacking off feels good (if you do it right).

It's refreshing in the song comments to read a post by someone who doesn't like what they're hearing yet it civil about it.
Cheers to you, HearsayDave!  Hope the next song suits you better.

A great segue from Joe Bonamassa - crunchy raw blues to crunchy raw blues rock. This is in my top 10 of albums. The absolute dog's feckin' bollox, especially when played at 11 in the car {#Motor}. 9 from the stompin' Nottingham jury

Lollapalooza Aug 03, 2012, Grant Park in downtown Chicago, Illinois:

1st seems that copied the damn lights scene of another band that now is a bit "lost in itself."
2st: I do not like the drummer style.
3st do not like the scratchy sound of distorted guitars and too yellow lead-guitar, voice seems ok.
4st do not like the overall sound produced, is even worse live than in studio.
5st What at first may seem a sound energetic and attractive, it becomes tiresome after a while (like a garage band), and becomes a great nuisance.
6st seems that some members of the band are "dazzled" in themselves.
7st have in fact some interesting songs, but far from the fame that allegedly are assigned to them.
8st A band full of "automatic", a very basic way of playing, no place to recreate, improvise, far away from what I consider to be a virtuoso musicians.
9st I'm sorry to say this: but what happens is that many of the songs of this band is a dish you do not like to repeat.

Better than a lot of stuff that gets more attention than this...but for Black Keys it's not the best. Kind of filler sounding to me...except for the driving rhythm section. Bass and drums have a nice pocket. Like that very much!

I don't think their sound is "overproduced."  Sounds a bit raw to me, actually.  I'm liking it!

Yes - they have their very own sound indeed!
This alone is great!

I just pumped up the volume on my "CREATIVE" PC-sound system
and can insure you,
this music is very-very different when heard loud!

OK - you already knew this....

Their recent performance on SNL was disappointing. It seems at first listen that this album is overproduced. Their power is in their rawness. Much was true about the White Stripes. Still a good listen.
