After the disappointing Attack and Release, The Black Keys are back with Brothers, a tight and joyous work. It might just be me, but after a bunch of albums that while enjoyable had all begun to blend together for me, Brothers has reinvigorated my love of The Black Keys. The rhythms are tight, the guitars razor sharp, and the howling precise. The boys sound like they're having a ton of fun again after a stifled period. The first half of the album is catchy and upbeat and while the second half meanders both emotionally and energetically a little more, the album is worth listening to as a whole. I have been doing a lot of driving recently and Brothers has been getting some heavy run.

I'm also a big fan of Brothers. Oddly enough, my biggest complaint is that I think it sounds similar to Attack & Release.
