Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Almost all songs are good, but nothing excellent here, decent album
There are some really good songs here, but overall this doesn't sound like anything worth listening from start to finish.
I agree with the consensus here... a bunch of good songs well made, but none of them are particularly great. The whole listen is a bit derivative.

First half is amazing, and totally a deserver of a 90, but the second part drags down imo. Still, a very fun ride all the way.

Più acerbo di come sarebbe stato il successivo "El camino", con suoni e melodie più che vintage, demodé. I Black Keys evocano gli anni sessanta più sorpassati, soprattutto nelle melodie, ma più avanti sapranno essere più interessanti.
There is a lot to enjoy in this album. The guitars lay on riff after riff, the bass and drums are solid and the songwriting is also good, creating an album full of well constructed songs.
The problem is that it is all a bit unspectactular and unoriginal. This could easily be an album from the sixies or seventies, but not in a good way as this sometimes makes the Black Keys sound like a tribute band.
The singer is also a bit of an aquired taste, there aren't any notes which are particularly difficult but he manages to come across as a bit whiney at times. However, despite the songs blending together slightly after half an hour, the album is still a solid 7 and worth a lesson. I just cannot imagine The Black Keys ever surprising me.
The best Black keys album, but having said that nothing the Black keys do is ever spectacular. Everything they do is always just okay. It's always competently done but it's always nothing better than good. All their songs are just alright. They haven't written even one great song. They're always just okay, nothing more.
