| 4.5 superb | Holsety | March 28th 18 |
Their loudest album to date, the most angry collection of songs, many of which are their most
enduring. Jack would go on to release more eclectic albums in the future, though as far as his
garage sound goes, this is their simplest and most lo-fi interpretation of the genre. And of
course Meg's simple drum beats are the core aesthetic of this band, and that's one of the few
things that remains consistent from album to album.
Favorite tracks: "Cannon", "Astro", "Screwdriver"

This album is awesome. Jack's raucous, raw guitar adds plenty of attitude and Meg's drumming keeps the songs anchored down. 'Screwdriver' may be on my list of favorite songs.

I have always enjoyed The Black Keys, especially since I've spent a great amount of my life in Akron. Yet, for as much as I love The Black Keys, I know their style isn't quite all their own. They took a huge amount of influence from the blues rock/garage rock tandem of Jack and Meg White, a tandem known as The White Stripes. They began here, on their self-titled debut record, and while it suffers from songs bleeding into each other, on the whole it is a nice, raw blues rock record fed through a garage rock aesthetic. "When I Hear My Name", "Do", and "One More Cup Of Coffee" constitute highlights here, and no song is necessarily bad, but the aforementioned problems with songs slamming into each other and coming off as monotonous is the vice of this record. It's a nice start to a unique take on blues, but the better days were definitely yet to come.

Raw, raw, raw music. Just cool to the max, unlike maybe my nerdy indie pop, this is just a really cool bluesy rock album. Something to blast really loud in the outdoors. I can't explain the rawness of it!
