The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
El Camino is one of my favourite records in the past couple of years. That and Springsteen Wrecking Ball have never been too far out of rotation in the last 14 months or so.
We have the same taste in music.
Also, I thought they were pretty good in arenas. Granted, I pushed my mid-30s self up to the front because I also had mostly seen them in smaller venues, but I thought all in all it was a quality show. While I don't necessarily think they got better with a newer sound on the last few albums, I do consider them to be growth. Can't make garage blues in a two-piece band forever and not just run out of ideas and steam.
Whoever talked about Auerbach's solo album, kudos. Maybe one of my favorite albums last decade. Loved it.

I agree that they needed to grow. I just still think I like their old stuff better...it was just so fucking badass with that voice of his and that raw guitar tone. And I also enjoy his solo record quite a bit.

Yeah Aurbachs solo record is my favorite black keys related album.
Just started to get into that one recently as it never grabbed me right away. It's definitely on par with the BK albums, but I wouldn't call it my favourite. Either way, isn't an Auerbach the main engine behind the black keys.
How much writing/influence does the Patrick Carney really have on the BK songs anyways? He probably has more influence on the recordings/sound than the music itself.
I never went on to listen to their second album. I appreciated their stripped down, bare bones blues on the first album so much, that I was afraid they would change.

What's the logical choice, the second album next?
Yes, then Rubber Factory.
They push the 2 guy garage sound into Magic Potion but then expand from there. Magic Potion is fine but the songs are not as good as previous efforts.
