Product Description
Album Description
'This record is more straight ahead rock and roll - raw, driving, and back to basics', says Auerbach. As Carney has put it, The Black Keys 'respect the past while being in the present', and that formula has made them sound like nothing less than the future of rock and roll. While the largely self-produced Brothers, recorded at the famed Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama, had a more soul and blues-oriented sound, El Camino often recalls the blitzkrieg-paced British-style rock of the 1960s and 70s, post-Beatles and pre-punk: artists like T-Rex, The Sweet, and Gary Glitter, along with the heavier swing of such bands as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The references are there, but the sound is very much contemporary and utterly their own, equally informed by The Black Keys' passion for hip hop and R&B and bolstered by the atmospheric production approach of Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton), who was behind the boards for 2008's Attack & Release and collaborated with them on the funky 'Tighten Up' for Brothers. As Auerbach notes, 'Brian understands all the different kinds of music we're into. He's got really great ideas about melody and song structure. For him it's all about the song'. Also rejoining them is consistently innovative mixing engineer Tchad Blake, who Auerbach calls 'a genius with audio, a complete wizard'.
Album Description
2011 album from the Garage/Blues Rock duo, the follow-up to the enormously successful Brothers album. With the hard-rocking El Camino, guitarist-singer Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney conjure up an exhilarating, stadium-sized sound in collaboration with producer and friend Danger Mouse. El Camino boasts a no-nonsense brilliance: The pace is fast, the mood is upbeat, the choruses unfailingly addictive made for shouting along, preferably in a large, sweaty crowd. A band already at the top of its game has gotten even better.

Awesome,
By Ymmit (Milton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Camino (Audio CD)
I am a Black Keys fan who loves the old albums and the newer produced style of Brothers as well. This album is spot on. Each track has it's own personality and many of the songs are memorable. This will go down as one of the 'classic' Black Keys albums.

Great album, amazing band!,
This review is from: El Camino (Audio CD)
I love the Black Keys, and this album lives up to their standards. It's a CD that any guitar lover will throughly enjoy!! Heavy on good bass and electric solos throughout, without becoming stale. Gold on the Ceiling is by far my favorite track. It's slightly different then their last album, a little lighter sounding music is probably the best way to put it. They bring through all the best from previous records to this one. Anyone who is a fan will love it, and it will convert people to the band. Hoping to see them live. If your still not sure check out youtube for a video of them recording Lonely Boys in the studio, you can tell they love what they do.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: El Camino (Audio CD)
I bought this album even though I only knew a couple of their songs (Tighten Up, Howlin' For You, Lonely Boy) and I was amazed by it. In my opinion there isn't a bad song on this album and I recommend it to everyone!
