Free Music Review: Whoopy cat......what?
Hit: 4 Stars
In response to whoopy cats assessment that they sound like they listened to the White Stripes and thought it would be cool to kick out the bass player...Dude, there is no bass player in the White Stripes. You will only hear a bass on a few songs that is added in, but there is no bass player that is a part of the band. Learn your stuff before posting garbage like that.This band is amazing for a duo. Don't knock them just because they don't live up to certain people's definition of punk. Yeah, it's much more bluesy, but you can't just call it blues without giving it another rock genre-edge, in this case.
Free Music Review: The Black keys A GREAT BLUES BAND!
Hit: 5 Stars
To Everyone who is tired of nu-metal and sick of garge punk bands taking the sound of legands. Then the black keys duo is the best stuff for you. Many people say rock has died, I think it has just changed. The 60's and 70's are back in a diffrent form with 1) Black Sabbath= Queens of the Stone Age
2) Dylan= Beck (mutations and Sea Change)
3) Cream/Eric Clapton= THE BLACK KEYS!!
4) Pink Floyd= The Flaming lips
In conclusion buy this album it helps make our generation of "... artists" into true rock and roll!!

After seeing The Black Keys live, I was impressed. They have soul, I'll admit they sound a little like the White Stripes but if you look past that there is more of a blues influence. To call them punk is probably not the right word, it's more like indie if anything. A great band though, if you like the White Stripes you might be in to these guys. See them live with Beck this summer if you get a chance, they are a wonderful opener.Free Music Review: Fat Possum should know better
Hit: 2 Stars
One problem with calling yourself a "broken down blues-punk duo" is that you should actually play some punk. The Black Keys sound like your local blues trio that plays at the club down the street who heard the White Stripes and decided it would be a cool idea to kick the bass player out of the band. There's no "punk" to be found here, which is fine, but as blues players the Black Keys are average at best. This album isn't terrible, but if you like this stuff and you don't own a Muddy Waters cd, then you're just posing.Free Music Review: White-Boy Blues for Everyone
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album based on a great review it got, and I now think the reviewer undersold it. This is the best album I've heard this year, and I'm not a big blues fan. It's hard to believe that this rich, blues/rock that seems to fill every space is the product of a 2-man band. Dan Auerbach is an amazing guitarist whose low-gear playing more than takes the place of a bassist. His gin-laced voice is the perfect complement to his infectious rhythms. While I can't find a B-side on the album, "Set You Free" and "No Trust" are particularly rocking pieces that will have you singing along wondering who needs 4 guys in a band. And don't expect any "my dog left me"-boo-hoo blues - this is a wall of sound with driving guitar and screaming vocals. Simply put, it is what all blues should be: dangerous and yet grooving. You'll wear out your speakers listening to this, trust me.
