    Listenable enough, for the most part, but too bland to be memorable, especially compared to albums like Brothers, Rubber Factory and El Camino. Even Turn Blue has more originality and ambition.

    It’s as close an approximation of before as they could possibly get - the result of 12 tracks being plopped out of a Black Keys song generator - but, five years down the line, you hope that people will demand more than that.

    It’s as good a rock record as The Black Keys have in them in 2019, and odds are that will satisfy most fans.

    Southern rockers like Under The Gun, Get Yourself Together and Breaking Down are as infectious as mad cowboy disease. When they do branch out, it's into Fleetwood Mac gossamer balladry and adorable Stealers Wheel soft rock. They'll find that the world has not changed the locks. [Aug 2019, p.83]
