Let me just start this off by saying that if you've never listened to the Black Keys, I feel sorry for you. Hopefully after reading this you'll take a listen to the track I've linked and fall in love.
The Keys have an eclectic sound that combines elements from blues, funk, jazz, hard rock, folk, and indie rock all topped off by raspy (and sometimes synthesized) vocals from Dan Auerbach. And I must say, they do it with style. This album is great for listening to when you just want to chill out.
"Attack & Release" is definitely worth listening to, and I'll even go a step further and say that you should for sure snag a copy of it one way or another. Some of the songs on the album lean a little bit more towards the softer sounding side in comparison to older Keys albums. Either way, the change is refreshing.
My vote: 4 stars.
My favorite track: "So He Won't Break" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdc1w8ypfVE
