Torrent Black Keys El Camino
I got interested in the Black Keys, because of Auerbach's role in Dr. John's recent LP, which was almost as good as the latter's Tribal from two years ago.
El Camino Black Keys
I saw El Camino many times, but I was deterred by the inflated prices charged for a new record. Now, listening to my first Black Keys record for the first time, I have to admit I do not understand the fuss about the band. Some of the music is good, Nova Baby is boring AOR, some of the song writing is fine, but on the whole, it sounds like a good punchy Detroit version of T. Rex, which is ok, if it wasn't for the superfluous attention and reverence paid to this music. Despite being somebody who considers individual access to cars being a global pestilence rather than a blessing, I think the artwork - cars parked only devour space and no other precious resources such as silence, fuels and cleaner environments - as the best factor of this album. A double vinyl version is utterly superfluous, only required to familiarize lads in their mid-twenties with the idea of long term investments, thus acting as a preparing step before their capital is directly relayed into the stock market.
