I love this album! It has been the soundtrack to my summer. They do so great at mixing different styles, and you can really here the emotion in the voice as they sing. It's classic rock and roll with a twist. Howlin' for You and Brothers are two of my favourite songs on this album - although it's hard to choose :)
„We were not up to now easy yet ripe enough to know how one takes up a right rock'n'roll album. Now it was so far.“ Simplizität is the Steckenpferd of the Black Keys, one notices this also in statements like this of Patrick Carney. The greatest possible transparency is the ideal to which they have approached in the course of a good eight years, always according to her skill. What one was not able to do, was left out, minimalism acted as a method, not as an aim.
The cellar in which the first records were taken up was no "Fuck you" in the direction of the big studios, but pure need. To accept hard if one allowed to nod his head for years to the cored Skelett-Blues of the duet up and down? But no worry, the "Less is more" aesthetics became not forsworn of course in favour of from ornament and pomp. One sees this, nevertheless, already in the Artwork where that what wants to teach every cover anyhow tastefully was simply written down in big characters.
Though almost just a problematic blues radio album of Howlin' Wolf, but – golden rule already presented itself – what one can take, one should take. For example, the huge beat of the Gary Glitter hit „rock'n'roll the part 1“ which flows in "Howlin For You" so creamy in Swamp rock like the oil plague to the coasts Louisianas. On it appealed, Carney protests only smugly that he would find "Echt fucked up" that there is no copyright on Drumbeats. Well, bad luck had, Gary, but a drummer must probably know it. Anyhow Carney and his "Brother", the fierce brook Auer, now the maps lay openly on the table as never before.
