I find this album average at best and yes very commmerialish which isn't bad but not great either. I prefer everything up to this album.

I liked Brothers though a lot cause the whole feel was different for that album. I love the Soul influence on that album even Starbucks and co. or whatever else blew them out of proportion. This album feels rushed in a way and in the wrong direction. Sounds nothing how Dan described it would be. Oh well, they deserve all the popularity they can get imo still good guys. Don't remember where I read it but did anyone see how Dan and Pat were interviewed and Pat says the only person he would love to fight would be Caral Barat? Don't know why, if they had some sort of a run in or what but by the sounds of it they hate the guy. Just thought that was kind of funny. Rock 'n' Roll politics got to love it ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

It's probably cause Carl Barat did with The Libertines in 2 simple albums what they haven't been able to do in 7.

The whole quote :DProbably one of the shittiest quotes ive ever heard. Especially since in the photo attached to the article he's clearly tries to pull off some sort of "Look i nicked these glasses off of buddy holly when his plane crashed and this jacket was James Deans when he got in that car crash. Also I dont smoke cause thats an image thing with rockers, but i carry around an ashtray with an unlit cigarette" look. He might as well stick his tongue out and dress as fucking Kiss cause he clearly cares about image. Pretty much everyone does so I guess he wants to punch pretty much everyone in the face. ![](http://www.clashmusic.com/files/imagecache/big_node_view/files/Black%20Keys.png)

He's fucking Olivia Wilde, you heard it first
I think El Camino is its goofier album and although it could be used as a positive thing, here it doesn't work for me. The songs don't demand anything, they're even more direct, big and shameless than usual, but don't sound fresh at all in my ears. Sound pretty much like they should, but don't move me yet. But it's not "Oh, they sound like that, I'm not gonna dig it..." as much as me thinking about why I don't feel it at all.
I still find Brothers very likeable though, if only a little bloated.

The songs don't demand anything That Kitty Empire mong said the same thing. Why should Rock n Roll have to be demanding?

It was not a negative comment, it was an assertion. Lonely Boy is goofy and doesn't demand anything but I fuckin' love it.

Anybody still bothering with these gimps? Looks like they had to cancel the North American ARENA tour because of poor ticket sales. consequence.net/2024/05/the-black-keys-cancel-tour-dates/I think Noel was recently involved with them he must have thrown some bad luck the fucking gimp.

El Camino was like 13 years ago, all their records since have been more unsuccessful than the last. Arena shows are so expensive now, I'd imagine it would cost near 100 bucks to sit at the back. Who's realistically going to pay that? Had they continued to had hits like say The Killers or Kings of Leon you could perhaps justify it. But it isn't as if they have a huge back catalogue of hits the average joe will want to put the money down to see.
Personally, I blame Dwayne!

I saw them 4 times in the space of 3 years between 2011-13 and it was basically the same show each time. Never felt the need to see them again, and I certainly wouldn’t pay the prices they were asking to sit in a hockey arena to watch them. Can’t imagine what the promoter was thinking.

i've not listened to them in years, but if I ever do again I'll just return to the first 3 records. Once they tried to expand their sound from being a blues-garage-rock band they were never as exciting.

Agreed who's shelling out $100 bones to see these guys in an arena. This actually reminds me when I was in Orlando at the DCFC show there were posters for upcoming shows at the KIA Center and one was Cigarettes After Sex .. I was blown away that they were booked to play this venue. They only have two albums out and another one in July. I still can't understand how they played that venue. Maybe I am old as there aren't a lot of tickets left tbh. www.ticketmaster.com/cigarettes-after-sex-xs-world-tour-orlando-florida-09-13-2024/event/2200605AB55A1C63LOOK AT THOSE PRICES

Mental now. I saw Amyl and the sniffers were charging about £40 to play a 600 capacity venue. Greed will kill rock n roll
