Feb 6, 2020This is an album by The Black Keys. The name of this album is Brothers. The songs of this album are great modern rock and roll.
-
Apr 13, 2014When you hear someone saying that music nowadays has totally lost it and there's no really good bands anymore, just answer "please, shut up a bit and listen to The Black Keys". When they hear this album, that will be the strongest slap they will EVER receive. Breathtaking and outstanding album of (by far) one of the best bands we have these days!
-
Apr 13, 2014Not only is Brothers arguably the best modern rock album there is, it's right up there among best rock albums ever. Brothers keeps the good old rock sound we all love in this era of generic pop.
-
Nov 9, 2012Fantastic. At least somebody's releasing good music these days.
-
Jan 30, 2012Awesome 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.
-
Jan 7, 2012"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. -
Dec 28, 2011This 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

Dec 25, 2011Easily 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.
-
Sep 10, 2011This 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.

Jul 31, 2011I 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) -
Jul 14, 2011An 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.

Jun 21, 2011great 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, 2011Good 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.
-
Apr 21, 2011This 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.
-
Mar 12, 2011Finally 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 8, 2011Best 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.
-
Mar 6, 2011Absolutely 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.
-
Feb 24, 2011Their best album to date. I don't think it's better than the Suburbs and how it won Alt. Album of the year over Suburbs still doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, not here to bash it. Here to love it. Brothers is a great, blues-y/Zepplin-y album, it's a great listen.

Jan 3, 2011Brothers is way different sounding from any other Black Keys album. The most catchiest Black Keys album to date. The guitar riffs are catchy and Dan Auerbach's lyrics are really witty. This whole album is just one great jam. "Tighten Up", "Next Girl", Ten Cent Pistol", and the opener "Everlasting Light" are all great tracks. All In All, Brothers is a great album. B+

Dec 27, 2010Brothers 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

Nov 22, 2010The 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.
-
Sep 30, 2010Looking for a little less production assistance...some more guitars. I've loved previous albums, but it's beginning to slope downwards.
-
Sep 8, 2010definitely a contender for album of the year in my books.
-
Aug 21, 2010An 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, 2010the 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
-
Aug 11, 2010'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.
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
-
Brimful 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.
