Customer comments on this selection.
 Not their best album
The Black Keys have ventured far from their break-out album The Big Come Up, and while some of the songs still rock, most of the album sounds over-produced. The gritty, wailing guitar sound that makes the The Black Keys so great seems to have taken a haitus. But, all that said, tracks 1 and 2 seems to be a step in the right direction, hopefully they'll see that for their next album.
 THE FRIKKIN' IRONY, PEEPS!!!
Attack and Release
If you love BK, fer the love of MUSIC -- start hunting! There is more great stuff out there. MUCH more. Blues-based rock bands have been neglected and ignored for years. And no, you don't have to go to classic rock catalogs to find them (check out Tishamingo's "The Point"). The irony is that it took Danger Mouse, a "hot" hip hop producer, to put this band on the national new music map.
 The Black Keys = A Different Approach
Attack & Release is no doubt the most accessible album released by The Black Keys. It was the first one recorded "properly", and the sound quality is noticeably more clean.
That said, it does not tamper with the band's raw blues-rock sound. Their first single getting airplay in Detroit, "I Got Mine" is a mind-blowing rock tune. Attack & Release is perhaps more funky sounding than previous works, such as the strange flute sounds on "Same Old Thing". "Strange Times" is a very powerful track, and also can be heard in Grand Theft Auto IV. "Psychotic Girl" is funky and seems to be a crowd favorite during live shows.
Attack & Release is a fresh, blues rock sound that really shows the Black Keys flexibility in the studio. People looking to listen to this band for the first time, try this CD.
its like "Led Zepplin" and "Black Sabbith" had a baby (soundwise)
highly recommend, have told a lot of freinds about them and all that could have purchased for themselves.ty
Fantastic Old School Rock
So far "Attack and Release" is my favorite album of the year. I really love their sound - kind of classic rock with some bluesy flavor.
