    One of the best Albums of 2011
    When a friend first played The Black Keys for me a couple years ago I instantly became a fan. With the release of El Camino, The Black Keys continue to produce excellent guitar rock. Every song has a great sound to it, with incredible guitar riffs and strong lyrics. Dan and Patrick, the two main members of the band, have again shown how talented they are at writing good rock songs. Lonely Boy and Gold on the Ceiling represent two more songs by this duo that catches your attention, drags you in and doesn’t let you go. Definitely one of the top albums of 2011.

From the Critics

Rolling Stone (p.69) - Ranked #12 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[With] the same tight focus, raw textures and relentless hooks that made BROTHERS great..."
Spin (p.73) - "Auerbach and Carney cited the Clash and the Cramps as inspirations, and you can hear their spirit in the speedy blitz of CAMINO's 'Dead and Gone' and 'Money Maker'..."
Spin (p.21) - Ranked #36 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "Glam-blooze guitar, poppy melodies, and hockey-rink keyboards fit the Keys like vintage denim."
Entertainment Weekly (p.72) - "[With the] edge-of-sanity epic 'Little Black Submarines,' a crate-digger thriller that starts as a quiet acoustic hymn, then explodes." -- Grade: A-
Paste (magazine) - "[A]nother solid rock `n' roll record that features all the qualities early fans of the band loved from the start...and just enough pop sensibility to reel in those ears who don't typically stray too far from the Top 40."
Uncut (magazine) (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Black Keys punch as hard as ever, but they're just as likely to slink towards the dancefloor now....EL CAMINO feels like the dawn of greatness."
