The Black Keys

The definition of Swamp rock

My personal favorite Black Keys record. A rare no-skip album for me. This is my favorite era of their music. The Big Come Up (2002) is good, but a little rough around the edges. Thickfreakness (2003), on the other hand, is just about perfect. Brothers (2010) rounds the aughts out with a favorable mix of their older, more blues inspired style with their newer, more radio-friendly work. In any case, this album fucks. Hard.
