2008 EU re-issue standard LP+download - Feeling heartsick from love's tumult, sweating bullets in the middle of the night, drinking lightning from a corn liquor bottle, sitting in a room whose walls are so blue they look black, digging into the joy-and-pain double helix of existence and finding heavy soul, kicking out a blues rock rumpus in search of salvation...this is the electrifying world of The Black Keys and their sophomore album, "thickfreakness.

This is an incredible album by the Akron Ohio blues duo The Black Keys When I say blues I dont mean Stevie Ray Vaughn or Robert Clay or any of these new artists who try to modernize blues I mean old blues Like Muddy Waters Howlin Wolf and the legendary Robert Johnson These guys emulate from the masters and make it their own sound They also have an early Led Zeppelin sound with them such as the case with the title track Dan Auerbachs voice sounds like it came straight out of Louisana and it definetly shows on all of the tracks Patrick Carneys drumming is very good and at times reminds me of the beats of DJ Shadow There are some great songs here too Set You Free has a awesome riff and Everywhere I Go is a long blues jam done outside of the 12bar blues format Great stuff Get it if you love blues or if youre a first timer
This power duo plays straightforward blues based rock and roll Crunchy guitar riffs soulful vocals over no nonsense drumming sounds like a lot more than two guys from Ohio The recording is raw and rough edged but contains surprising nuances and textures On so many levels it just works by ritholtaz
