Aug 21, 20109An album that find the band coming back home should be the subtitle. Gone is the experimental and soul beaten pressure to sound like someone that is destitute. Must listen tracks, Next Girl (Gangstarr tribute?) , Tighten Up, She's Long Gone, Ten Cent Pistol and Sinister Kid.
If you haven't seen this band live then make an appointment and cancel anything else. -
Aug 21, 20109the black keys are an incredible band. they have the unique ability to release new albums that are good. Brothers is not just good, it is better than their previous release "Attack and Release" which was also an incredible album

Mar 12, 201110Finally something that's not Lady Gaga/Kesha garbage.There is nothing like a real talented band that proves music is still worth listening to.I thought I was gonna snap if I heard anymore pop crap seriously.Well written meaningfull songs thats what people want this rocks.

Mar 6, 201110Absolutely no-nonsense album. Catchy tunes, cleaned off of any "non-structural" purely decorative elements, solid stylistically throughout, bright with light.... a musical equivalent of Classical Ottoman Architecture.
-
Mar 8, 201110Best album of 2010 no question... Only a few tracks that aren't great. Howlin' For You, Next Girl, Tighten Up, Sinister Kid, She's Long Gone are all instant classics.
-
Apr 21, 201110This album just plain rocks. A unique mix of deep-south blues mixed with sexy pop-rock musical influences creates a sound that you can't help but tap your feet to. Listening perfection.
-
Aug 11, 20109'Brothers' definitely begins stronger than it ends. The first five tracks on this album are absolute gold, and the rest is pleasant enough, but not nearly as exciting.
-
Sep 8, 20109definitely a contender for album of the year in my books.

Sep 17, 20109Great album
-
Jan 30, 201210Awesome record. some most listen tracks: Ten Cent Pistol, Sinister Kid, The Go Getter, Everlasting Light. The Black Keys are a must-see high energy show.
-
Nov 22, 20109The Black Keys have this originality that keeps listeners wanting more, so they continue the soothing melodies and amazing vocals on each and every track, but still strangely keeping you awake.
-
Dec 27, 20109Brothers is certainly one of the most accessible albums of the year and a few tunes from the Black Keys sixth studio album have already gotten some serious attention. The first single, â

Jun 21, 20119great album. it was very good. i liked it a lot. it was creative and very pop friendly. it was one of the best albums if last year. good album. near perfect
-
May 27, 201110Good from start to finish. Feels genuine. Doesn't require a particular taste in music. Reminds me of the time I was chillin' at Jabba's palace scheming on Leia in her metal bikini.

Jul 14, 20119An amazingly good album, and their best since Rubber Factory. It evolves their sound without sacrificing anything- the bass and keyboard additions are all tasteful and well placed. It's only fault is that it runs a little too long at almost an hour. The first half of the album is a 10/10, but after "The Only One," it slows down a little too much. A track or two less, and this would be a 10/10.

Jul 31, 201110I loved this album! It is up there with my favorite albums of all time. I love almost every track and the blues rock feel that it gives. Better than its also great predecessor, "Attack & Release".
MUST LISTEN TO: Never Gonna Give You Up, Howlin' For You, Unknown Brother, Tighten Up
LEAST FAVORITE: Howlin' For You (feat. Prins Thomas) -
Sep 10, 201110This album does something no band has done before and that is combine about 10 different genres of music all together in one so they pretty much have a song for everyone. This album gets a 10 and i have not found a single Black Keys song I do not like yet and probably wont.
-
Dec 25, 201110Easily one of the best albums I have ever heard! The Black Keys get better with each album. She's Long Gone, Next Girl and Tighten Up are their mustin listen tracks. If you haven't heard this album already, then you're missing out.

Dec 28, 201110This album proves that The Black Keys are the best band in the world. Each one of their albums is unique and this album is one of their best yet. Every single song is a knockout. If you like music, this is an absolute must listen

Jan 7, 201210"This is an album by The Black Keys. The title of this album is Brothers."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get the idea! Brothers is the title of the 2010 album of The Black Keys. They obviously forgot to call it:
"This critically acclaimed album by The Black Keys is called Brothers".
It's awesome and is not Ke$ha. -
Nov 9, 20129Fantastic. At least somebody's releasing good music these days.
-
That’s the great thing about the Black Keys in general and Brothers in particular: the past and present intermingle so thoroughly that they blur, yet there’s no affect, just three hundred pounds of joy.
-
80Brimful of air guitar moments and other guilty pleasures, Brothers is pleasingly diverse and diverting, with barely a duff track.
-
Six albums in, the Akron, Ohio, duo's backwoods-Zeppelin shtick remains paramount, but on Brothers, there's a new kind of shrewdness, too: real songwriting, and real hooks, beneath all that mondo riffage.
