I think Dan used to look so cool, when he played Telecasters and had no facial hair.

@blackkeychucktown I know that. when i said the 1st three albums im referring specifically to The Big Come Up, Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory cause those albums were the most bluesy & raw. Magic Potion was more of a straight up rock out album and Attack & Release was more alternative sounding, so thats why im referring to the 1st three when comparing them to brothers.. I hope i cleared that up for you?

[blackkeychucktown]

@yugang08 they made 5 full length albums before brothers

@CicconeYouth04 You really need to listen to Brothers again. It had plenty of soul. "Unknown Brother" for example

@tenaciousE21912 dont get me wrong, i love the gritty blues garage rock sound that they've became known for but at the same time i love the diversity/variety of music they have crafted. To go from the sound of the first 3 albums to brothers is a beautiful thing to me. They've made a great transition from one style of music to another, unlike many artists whos tried that and failed epicially (i.e. lil wayne attempting to do rock music...YIKES!!) and i welcome that as long as the music is good:)

@tenaciousE21912 thank you! i dont get why some of these long time black keys fans & critics alike are acting like brothers is the worst thing ever made when its really not. It has soul & the quality of music is THERE but its soulful in a funk rock-ish ol school R&B-soul kind of way and because it aint the same usual gritty blues rock stuff that means its terrible. If it were any other band that made the brothers albums i bet these same critics would have nothing negative to say about it.

@CicconeYouth04 Your opinion man, but Brothers still has soul. It really does.

[CicconeYouth04]

@imbaman1337 Had soul. They lost it. This stuff was honest, "Brothers" is just to make more money.

I've been digesting their albums for just a couple of months now. If this is their weaker stuff than that's very impressive. I just put their whole catalog on shuffle and i'm good.

I get it, you all want your hipster cred for liking a band that got mainstream cred before they were known by the mainstream. But they are still the same band and haven't changed at all. They still have the same soul they had in the beginning. This is not the band to play the "gee they sold out card." They still have it.
