I love it but really hope they add some hard hitting loud blues rock to the album like just a little heat or I got mine. This is fantastic music but the last few albums have all been very soft where I’d prefer a mix of soft rock and some drumstick breaking, finger blistering rock.

@Anthony Lopez it’s from their forthcoming album, which they’ve said is a collection of covers of blues classics. This song was popularized by John Lee Hooker, most well known for Boom Boom, in the 1940s, though I believe the song actually dates back to the 1920s.

[@matthewvazquez4900]

So I’m 13 now, but all my life when I was little my dad used to play songs by the black keys all the time (lonely boy, little black submarines, gold on the ceiling and tighten up, just to name a few)to the point where we had the album turn blue by them on repeat in the car for hours on a road trip. To this day that’s still my favorite album. I have listened to every album they have released and I actually saw them play live in L.A back when they released the let’s rock album, and they were on tour. It’s crazy how far they’ve come, from playing in their basement, to actually playing live shows in front of thousands of people. I’m glad their back and making another album and I’m very grateful my dad showed me this band. I love this band, and music.

[@Ma_han69]

@@problyzuited9828 I actually much preferred El Camino to Turn Blue which I think was by far their weakest album and the most odd of the bunch. It was bizarre to me and had neither blues nor commercial appeal in my honest opinion. But yeah agreed on everything else. I think Danger Mouse just took them in a different direction and hopefully they just make what THEY think sounds good now. Back to the basement and the garage.

[@timkottowski4060]

I started listening to the Black Keys 2 Years ago and i absolutly love El Camino, Brothers and Lets Rock. Yeah El camino and Lets Rock are more Pop Rock for sure but they still have the typical Black Keys sound to me that make them very different from other Pop Rock Albums. I think its a good thing that Dan and Patrick try out different genres.

[@salzulli6290]

They're poppier stuff isn't bad. Definitely gives me similar vibes as 60s rock, but certainly pales in comparison to their bluesier stuff like this.

[@dividius2]

As musicians you want to push the boundaries and try different things otherwise you get stale. Dont forget they are artists and need to challenge themselves.

[@Ma_han69]

@@dividius2 again, I don’t disagree I’m just saying I don’t like their last few albums NEARLY as much as their early blues garage rock. They’re free to experiment how they would like but it is also a fact they’ve alienated a lot of not most of their early fans in opting to hire poppy producers and get more radio play. It’s their decision but it’s also mine to buy their album or not and decide what I listen to and I really just don’t like their last few albums after El Camine and before this most recent single.

[@blashuvec]

Pat has mentioned that this may be their best album!! CAN'T WAIT
