Attack & Release album Product Description

Attack & Release album by Black Keys was released Apr 01, 2008 on the Nonesuch label. Initially planned as a collaboration between the Black Keys and Ike Turner, ATTACK AND RELEASE became solely a Black Keys project when Turner died in late 2007. Attack & Release songs Under the producing hand of Danger Mouse--who had introduced the Akron duo to Turner--ATTACK AND RELEASE continued the Keys' progression from scabrous blues avatars to elder statesmen in full command of their muse. Attack & Release album Bolstered by Danger Mouse's bizarro pop sensibility, the arrangements eschew heavy bluster in favor of a more expansive pallet. Attack & Release CD music Signature Keys blues stomps such as "I Got Mine" and "Strange Times" are cut by soul experiments such as "Remember When (Side A)" and "Things Ain't Like They Used To Be" that emotionally unfold over patient tempos. The Black Keys always were in the vanguard of the thousands of Zep-worshipping bands, but ATTACK AND RELEASE finally puts them at the top of the heap. Rolling Stone (p. 66) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Keys' most multicolored set: A psychedelic hybrid of vintage Southern R&B, brutish British invasion rock, and country blues...". Rolling Stone (p. 90) - Ranked #15 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "You don't count the parts inside; you just dig the sum."
Spin (p. 92) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Here, the Akron, Ohio twosome teams with producer Danger Mouse, who quietly unfolds in the occasional breakbeat, even adding that classic hipster signifier -- the funk flute -- to 'Same Old Thing. '"
Entertainment Weekly (p. 61) - "[T]he quirks enhance the power of the desolation at the Keys' core, and prove that gut-grabbing and ear-stroking needn't be mutually exclusive." -- Grade: A-
Uncut (p. 88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Black Keys are on the cusp of greatness.... ...See Full Description

Don't Release
Their best album yet. Attack and Release really hit the nail on the head. From the 'voodoo' sound of psychotic girl. To the funk of 'So he Won't Break.' I suggest this as a purchase that won't be a regret.

Good Music!
This is very good music, but, the last song is the one I bought the c.d. for. That one song is worth the price of the c.d. I love it.
