Editorial Review: Product Description: 1 LP Set- 120 gram (REGULAR WEIGHT)- with plating and pressing by RTI Half Speed Mastered at 33 RPM by Stan Ricker for Audiophile quality Packaged in a full color gatefold jacket- with insert- includes PRO CD of entire album Amazon.co.uk: Of all the two-piece rock bands (Dresden Dolls, The White Stripes, The Kills, John & Jehn) out there making a royal racket, The Black Keys are by far the least affected by the last three decades of popular music, and evolution. Even more so than Jack & Meg. Which makes you check the album credits twice and then seek a second opinion--produced by celebrated uber-producer, superstar DJ and one half of Gnarls Barkley, the ubiquitous and really quite modern Danger Mouse?! No, your eyes do not deceive you, but thankfully neither do your ears. He may have brought a discipline and expensive sheen to Attack & Release, the riffing is buffed up real good, but this is essentially the same band that continues to live less of a life and more a Jimi Hendrix Experience. If there is a change it's that for the first time their foot is teased off the accelerator, with "Lies", "Remember When (Side A)" and "Oceans & Streams" loosening their shoulders and playing a more chilled brand of dusty sunset southern blues, adding in keys and new layers of texture (is that really a flute on "Same Old Thing"?!). There's still plenty of chance, on the massive Zeppelin-esque "Strange Times" and "Remember When (Side B)" for instance, to leave a boot mark though. More release than attack this time around, but the key still fits. --James Berry Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hypnotic music - I can't get enoughWhere has this band been all my life? Just discovered them when I bought this CD. And I'm loving it! Now, I'm busy adding the rest of their albums to my music collection. I can't get enough of this band - their sound is so hypnotic and sensual. There is not one bad song on this CD. I especially like "Strange Times" and "I Got Mine." Buy this album - you will not be disappointed. Rating: - It's About Time!!!For all the fans that are complaining about their progression on this album, you must be insane. I was just telling a friend before "Attack and Release" came out that I loved the Black keys music but their music was too redundant. It's not even a dramatic evolution in their sound, it's more of maturation. I always though that the Black keys were super talented and made great songs, but unfortunately they had like 4 albums of songs that sounded pretty-much the same. I love them to death, but they started to get boring. And by the grace of God they got a talented producer that was able to put their talent to proper use and pull a sound out of them that could elevate them as artist. This album is a blessing; it has much more depth and body to it. ... Read More: Rating: - An Excellent ProgressionThe earlier works of the Black Keys were fantastic. I really didn't know what to expect when I was picking up Attack & Release. After hearing that the Black Keys would be working with Danger Mouse, I was a little worried. Was the Black Keys raw style of blues rock coming to an end? After listening to this album multiple times I grew to appreciate the new direction the Black Keys were going. In my opinion this album is near flawless. While Danger Mouse's touch is noticed, it is not overbearing. Attack & Release not only surpassed my expectation but now I am excited to hear their next release. The Black Keys followed a artistic progression and nailed it. One of my favorite albums this year. Attack & Release ... Read More: Rating: - Worth your CashI always thought the Black Keys were a cool little band but with Danger Mouse production skills it just makes them so much better. It gives them a fuller sound with beats you can bob your head to. Back story to this album is amazing. Supposively Danger Mouse was going to produce a blues record for the legendary Ike Turner but he needed a backing band. The Black Keys agreed to be that backing band. While they were reheasing with Danger Mouse(Turner not present), Ike Turner passed away. Eventhough the Turner record was a no-go Danger Mouse and Keys formed a great chemistry together and decided that they should make their album together. Pure Genius. DM did not uber-commericialize it, he just sharpened the edges a bit plus adding nice bass line ... Read More: Rating: - The Black Keys - Attack and Release 8/10Much like their Midwest brethren, the White Stripes, the Black Keys are a blues duo specializing in raw, lo-fi DIY tunes, and much like the faux-sibling pair, the Black Keys have steadily progressed from workmanlike blues and rock to, well, still more solid blues and rock, albeit with slightly more advanced recording techniques. Attack & Release continues this trend, although with the versatile Danger Mouse producing, some deviation from the formula is to be expected. "Psychotic Girl" sounds eerily like what Gnarls Barkley might sound like if they were a blues outfit with a penchant for banjo, and Dan Auerbach's vocals on "Lies" call to mind the best of the great southern soul singers. The Keys haven't lost focus, however; ... Read More: |
