Black keys rubber factory review.
Allmusic review by stephen thomas erlewine it s easy to think of the black keys as the flip side of the white stripes.
After eating nothing but strange foreign dishes and crazy tastes your friends suggested its refreshing to just get a huge steak.
The black keys are a duo from northeast ohio and are simply a modern day exponent of blues rock bringing old ideas and motifs into modern alternative music.
Armed only with carney s drum kit and auerbach s fuzzed out guitar and scratchy howl of a voice the black keys have turned in a baker s dozen of sludgy in a good way funky primordial blues.
They both hail from the midwest they both work a similar garage blues ground and both have color coded names.
The black keys is.
Rubber factory is the black keys third full length album after thickfreakness.
5 0 out of 5 stars the best black keys album reviewed in the united states on april 4 2014 long overdue this review should have been written in 2005 when i first purchased this album and it reinvigorated my feeling that the heart of rock and roll was still beatin indeed.
Comparisons to the white stripes be damned these boys take blues grit and make it their own.
Dan auerbach guitar vocals and patrick carney drums return in full force for their 2004 lp rubber factory.
And stack shot billy with witty songwriting along with the lava soap rock.
And the black keys serve this slab hot and juicy.
