Free Music Notes for ThickfreaknessFree Music Review: Black Keys = must buy CD Hit: 5 StarsThis band stomps a$$. I knew very quickly that this was the case, and really enjoy this CD. I think this CD would reach it's apex being played in an older model, flat black, convertible Cadillac- cruising around and about half-way looking for trouble. It just makes you feel cool- cool for having it, for hearing it, and for getting it. I hope the band does well, but part of me enjoys the "who the [heck] are the BLACK KEYS" factor.
Free Music Review: fresh. Hit: 5 StarsI recently purchased this album after hearing about 7 or 8 track clips. I don't care about any comparison between The White Stripes and The Black Keys. I have not enjoyed The White Stripes music enough to provoke a purchase of one of their albums. I will tell you that upon discovering The Black Keys and listening to about 8 track samples I purchased the "Thickfreakness" album on the very same day. I really enjoy the blues rooted sounds they create. I could go on in greater detail for some time, but I will stop with two more statments. Most tracks on this album are carefully crafted, thoughtful, and rock filled. REPLAY FACTOR = Medium/Medium High
Free Music Review: Rock Is Back. Hit: 5 StarsThe Black Keys just plain rock. They are similar to the White Stripes, yet The Black Keys can actually play their instruments. Rock was meant to have this much emotion. You can pop in this CD and listen to it all the way through in your car rockin' away at the fuzzy unclean greasy rock/blues creations that these two geniuses have created. Any musician, especially guitarists, will be inspired to turn on their amp and rock away. I first heard thickfreakness and was amazed that what I was hearing wasn't an old rock & roll recording. I encourage all of you who want rock/blues/good music to buy this!
Free Music Review: Good album Hit: 3 StarsYes, it is a good album, and they get alot of comparisons to the White Stripes, but I think the White Stripes are alot better, this band's music tends to sound the same and it's very monotone, the White Stripes are more energetic.
Free Music Review: It ain't The White Stripes Hit: 4 StarsFrom time to time, The Black Keys have been compared to the White Stripes. After listening to Thickfreakness in full, I fail to see any relevant similarities. While both bands are certainly guitar-driven, The Keys are far more grounded in the Blues tradition. The song writing on Thickfreakness surpasses anything on the Stripe's Elephant in terms of story telling and meaning. Nothing agains the Stripes, but I just don't think you can compare the two bands as peers. I purchased Thickfreakness just prior to taking a long road trip from Virginia to Canada -- hoping for some good driving tunes. What I got was more than I expected. I am a true believer now.
