With Everlasting Light, a warm, easy love blues Schunkler with handclap-Feeling, Girl Next, this midtempo garages riff rockers, Tighten Up, a resulting still Danger Mouse, grandiose blues anthem, and Howlin For You, a fine Fuzz Guitar Stomper, Brothers opened so compelling, diverse and charming, that only one conclusion can be approved: the best output, the ever accomplished the Keys.
Ever go slowly but surely out of superlatives with a classification in the overall picture. The Keys are not just the new White Stripes (their first album located eight years ago), the Keys keep blues and rock authentic and alive, and that for many many years. Because the emphasis of the rock and the sufferings of the Blues are here liquid, catchy and profitably interlinked. Okay, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have a development behind him, sounding now different certainly, in comparison to their earlier, overdriven and noise-lastigeren garage beginnings, the sound is now richer, simply better produced, bringing the voice of more advantage and amplifier feedback screwing back; but basically muck Auerbach and Carney from day one of her recordings at constant and nothing more than saustark.
In a sense, therefore, idle to ask whether this is now the best Keys album. It's beautiful, just like the others. But it is rich, diverse, thereby also longer, and more modern than their wonderfully reclusive basement studio albums beginning (say to Magic Potion). R & B starlet Nicole Wray spices up several songs vocal technique with a feminine aesthetics, also Hammond organ, keyboards, see (about on The Only One) and bass guitars now regular use on Keys albums; how long they are likely to occur even live for two? The instrumental squirming Black Mud, The Only One, Ten Cent Pistol, Sinister Kid and The Go Getter are other highlights, a great rock album. Only the conclusion of the 15 pieces strong Ohrenschmaus which significantly drifts surprising soulful realm, seems a little ermündend and slightly repetitive. Three of the four last songs have fewer Brothers actually made perfect, especially the Never Gonna Give You Up covers it would not have been necessary. But this conclusion would be allowed in the entry.
