The Black Keys - Rubber Factory (2004)




When it comes to the Black Keys, many comparisons have been drawn to The White Stripes. Both guitar/drums duos with a retro sound and their roots in traditional blues, there is one fundamental difference between those two. While The White Stripes play 21. century garage punk versions of old Mississipi Delta blues songs, The Black Keys do not care too much about redefining the genre. All the songs on Rubber Factory could easily be at least 40 years old. The amazing thing about this record is that, even though its vibe is pretty retro, it sounds incredibly dirty and fresh. The Black Keys deliver modern songs written in a timeless traditional fashion; and that is what makes this album extraordinary.
