Shockingly well done... a remarkable album. [3 Sep 2004, p.73]
-
100Some called their first two albums derivative, but with this third disc the guys wrestle their greased-up garage boogie until they own it.
-
The most exciting and best rock & roll record of 2004.
-
90The Black Keys play the kind of raw, sensual blues-rock that makes you want to hide your girlfriend and warn your mom.
-
90The sparse arrangements and DIY aesthetic give the Keys a rock and roll genuineness that's missing from their contemporaries. [#8, p.79]
-
86More of the same meaty riffs meet familiar sweaty rhythms to take you down to the Midwestern delta one more time. [#12, p.95]
-
83It picks up right where Thickfreakness left off-- outside the bar in the gravel parking lot, swinging aggressively with Dan Auerbach's ferocious six-string and Patrick Carney's cymbal-and-snare seizures-- and brings the noise one step further.
-
Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach deliver a much more consistent and musically varied album with Rubber Factory, yet don’t sacrifice the guitar rock that made their previous two albums so much fun.
