Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "The old stomp is here -- along with a cover of Jerry Butler's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' -- but Alabama has stoked The Black keys' dark side.", "Different but not drastic, BROTHERS takes just the right amount of street-spirit fire, and builds towards something tentatively grander.", "New challenges, as well as time apart from their main outfit, have served these guys well....BROTHERS is the loosest they've sounded since 2004's RUBBER FACTORY.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "In 'Ten Cent Pistol,' the pair pile on the menace -- a garage quintet's worth of guitars, organ and heavy death march...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "BROTHERS is really all about The Black Keys' swaggering journey from sub-White Stripes curio to one of the best rock'n'roll bands on the planet.", "There's a new kind of shrewdness...real songwriting, and real hooks, beneath all that mondo riffage." -- Grade: B+, "The pair's latest album, BROTHERS, lures with its spooky throwback sound, preternatural grooves and dark bluesy jams.", Ranked #5 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Their ability to delve into truly soulful territory was clear...", Ranked #28 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010" -- "A measured soulful evolution of the blues-rock sound that's made the duo so compelling..."
