"This is far too tame for the Black Keys, and I don't like the electronic brushes on this album at all. Attack & Release is much, much better than this album."



that album is in the bottom 3 for me.







" fuck you all who dig this"



"lol.. dude"



Just LG being LG.

Fair enough. I need to listen to this a few more times.

finished this. Damn solid. I prefer Rubber Factory, Thickfreakness, and probably Brothers but this is a good record. It's considerably more poppy than their other releases. It kind of reminds me of Kings of Leon career arc.

But instead of the Kings Of Leon, this is far from being a sell-out.

I've heard a big part of the album at the radio while I was on the road Sunday night and Kings of Leon quickly came to my mind too.

^ Dude listen to Thickfreakness and this back to back and the argument can be made. I really dont care, I dont get upset about selling out unless the sell out project sucks hard.

I definitely heard similarities to Kings of Leon on this record as well. I thought that by the time "Lonely Boy" had ended.

@ Hans: I know, I love Thickfreakness (even more than this), but I get tired by people in my local circles proclaiming they sold out. I mean, they deserve to get more recognition, but getting famous wasn't their primary goal.



Anyways, this rules. Gold On The Ceiling being my fav atm.

Yeah I think its funny when people scream sellout. Anybody in their right mind would do the same thing if the opportunity is there. People get into music for various reasons, but anyone who says they wouldnt take the chance to cash in after years of earning their stripes is a fucking liar.

I don't know if it's similar to The Kings Of Leon just because I've never listened to them. Honestly, I don't suppose they are that influential. You should definitely dig deeper than that.

Im surprised you've never jammed the Kings Greg. I think you would like their first couple albums.

"Selling out" often allows bands the financial freedom and flexibility to be honest and genuine. I agree, bands that have worked hard and earned recognition deserve to be paid for their effort.

I mean I've heard some of their singles, but they annoyed the hell of me. So it's kind of reasonable I haven't checked the full albums out.

Blah. I hate these songs. Alright. I'll try to check them out some day. This stuff seems seriously too mainstream for me.

yeah the first two records sound nothing like Use Somebody. Most of the song are 3 minute catchy guitar songs.

Yes and yes but not Brothers for me.



It's definitely more refined and the production value is of course higher but I don't see the sell out

yet Hans. I actually think this is a step back from the sell out path Brothers was going down.
