Raw, dirty, fiery and visceral, The Black Keys sound just like what you might expect from two grown-up kids from Akron, Ohio whose basement experiments mix classic rock with Mississippi blues. Here, singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney lean more to fuzzed-out Led Zeppelin influences than the gutbucket strains of bluesmen like Junior Kimbrough that characterized 2004’s Rubber Factory. It’s still a thrilling, minimalist and sometimes scary sound, heavy on hypnotic riffs and thunderous beats. Reviews
