The Black Keys - El Camino

Are a car commercial and video game responsible for these guys falling from our good graces? Or at least our social circles?

I'd say no, but I haven't seen anyone talk about them, so I thought I'd bring their new album into discussion. It came out today, and I've just downloaded it. Haven't listened to it, but I have high hopes for it. So has anyone heard it yet?

I've heard the single and it's on par with Brothers. Not as catchy as Howlin' For You, which might be what they're going for. But good enough.

ive been internetless so i havent heard this. but pumped.

They were just never in my good graces to begin with. I'm very indifferent. Not really my thing. Can't speak for anyone else though.

JAY ONRAIT (the Canadian and probably cooler version of maybe a Neil Everett or Reali) GETS ME!

i listened to this in the car with my friend today, shits good, but needs more listens

[Jon]

i like this. im glad its shorter than brothers, because that kind of dragged. brothers had more stand out songs though.

^ This album definitely blends more, so if it were just as long as Brothers, I would have had trouble getting into it. Doesn't crack my top ten, but it's pretty good.

I like the album. I think it's really the best they could have put out as a follow up to Brothers, because chances are they'll never really touch Brothers again
