One album removed from Attack and Release, the boundary-pushing Black Keys LP featuring Danger Mouse on production, Auerbach retreats to a fuzzed-out blues paying homage to his musical roots and the Keys earlier oeuvre. After stretching himself musically, Keep it Hid is a therapeutic soak in the tub.

I could quibble with the order, but I like the selections. Job well done, fellas!
P.S. Where the hell is “Donuts”?

I saw them open for Radiohead, and while they didn’t blow them out of the water (who could?), they certainly wowed me. And more importantly, I left the concert, after still thinking about them after the visual/audio spectacular that is Radiohead live. Says something me thinks.

nyc shames other cities in terms of what they get for music. it really isn’t very fair.

ditto what colin said. i saw liars open for interpol a couple of years back, and they blew interpol off the stage.

Tasha hines just stand down… Lil Wayne deserves this for what he has done. All of his songs are the same and about him and what he is doing and not what he has done. He doesn’t even write his own music but maybe sometimes he does free style a little bit. He still isn’t a legit writer of music.

I’ve been listening to this CD for months now… probably one of the best of the year.
This is probably one of my favorites of the year as well, so I don’t agree with the “Borrow It” label. However, the review is spot on.
Patricia,
I’m glad you like it. I’m curious what specifically you think it is about the record that makes it stand out. Convince me it’s worth buying, if you would.
