Great album, probably my favorite by them, although Attack & Release comes pretty close. I've still all their early albums to listen to, also. I love this band anyway. Unknown Brother is a fantastic track, but overall this album is full of gems.

A little top-heavy, but really, not a weak song among the bunch. Very solidly made album.

Hm. AotD seems to be stuck in a rut.

Anyway, this album's not actively bad, but I find it to be pretty dull.

I thought it was alright at first.

Now that I've listened to it more, I think it's fantastic. Probably my favorite Black Keys album, though they've made a ton of great ones.

I thought it was ok first time I heard it... then it grew on me, and I absolutely love it... all of it... no boring tracks. Great album.

I have to agree with this. I think The Black Keys really got into a great groove on this one. In my opinion this is their best album, and it played a big role in the band breaking through to new audiences.
