Without even really knowing who exactly was in the band, I immediately knew that this was a different sense of creativity that I wasn’t really used to, but I’d follow their work forever. It’s rock at its rawest and finest and honestly shaped what kind of rock I would listen to for the next 3-4 years.
The powerful drums coming from Patrick Carney are a sure fire way to really let you know The Black Keys are here and they’re ready to rock the early 2010’s.Īs a kid, I remember the hits off this album clear as day, but as I’ve listened over the years and refined my palette for music, the whole middle section of this album is everything but a hit, in the best way possible. Lets be real, by the end of Track 4, your heartbeat should have raised significantly. Next up in the front half of the album is the truly epic run going from Next Girl, Tighten Up, and most likely the more memorable song on the album, Howlin’ For You. It’s a smoother open that introduces you to the idea that what you’re about to hear is going to require a seatbelt. Opening up this 55 minute rock and roll epic is Everlasting Light, a fantastic rock opener by any standard really. Whatever way you remember it, that was always going to be your first impression of the album itself, a cover that clearly told the truth.
Follow along for an in depth look on how just how exactly this now iconic album shaped “dad rock”. Hard to believe, but The Black Keys’ historic and memorable album, Brothers, has just celebrated its 10th birthday.
