The second I heard that this album was produced by the eminent DJ Danger Mouse (behind music by Gnarles Barkley and the Gorillaz), I knew that it was more than just another two-piece garage rock band. Staying true to their bluesy roots, they manage to evade any influence from the synth-propelled music so ubiquitous today. In a way, this lack of extra oomph left me wanting; however, this really is an excellent purchase. You just kind of have to take it for what it is: a hearkening back to the days of Zeppelin and Hendrix, with a slight drop into the repetitive at times. There are glimmers of brilliance here that offer an invigorating mixture of psychedelic kick with a contemporary feel. The Black Keys are truly a revelation. They just need to step things up a notch.

Highlights of the album:
  1. Psychotic Girl
  2. Strange Times
  3. Remember When (Side B)

Not so hot tracks to avoid:
  1. Lies
  2. Remember When (Side A)
