Entertainment WeeklyShockingly well done... a remarkable album. [3 Sep 2004, p.73]
-
The Black Keys play the kind of raw, sensual blues-rock that makes you want to hide your girlfriend and warn your mom.
-
PlanetThe sparse arrangements and DIY aesthetic give the Keys a rock and roll genuineness that's missing from their contemporaries. [#8, p.79]
-
This album shows that these guys have plenty of room to expand stylistically while still absolutely owning blues rock.
-
Their sound is no more polished than the tracks were on their last album, the also-great thickfreakness, but there's an air of stronger confidence on Rubber Factory.
-
The disc makes a lot of noise, and it sounds great in the process.
-
Rolling StoneHigh-impact scuzz-blues that aims for prime Hendrix and almost gets there. [30 Sep 2004, p.186]
