Entertainment Weekly (p. 72) - "[With the] edge-of-sanity epic 'Little Black Submarines,' a crate-digger thriller that starts as a quiet acoustic hymn, then explodes." -- Grade: A-
Paste (magazine) - "[A]nother solid rock `n' roll record that features all the qualities early fans of the band loved from the start... and just enough pop sensibility to reel in those ears who don't typically stray too far from the Top 40."

| Best Black Keys Album to Date
So many amazing songs, tracks 1 to 7 are all hits. Easily there best album to date and possibly two of their best songs ever in Lonely Boy and Gold on the Ceiling.

| Trash-bound
If you want to hear the Black Keys when they were a great band, listen to their album "Big Come Up" and throw this in the trash.

| Terrible for the most part
With the exception of Lonley Boy, Gold on the Celing and Little Black Submarines this is pop garbage. What happened to this band?

| What Happened?
El Camino album I love the black keys since the big come up. I love them because of the honest, gritty, in your face blues the duo laid down. Magic Potion is by far my favorite to date. Attack and Release was written for Ike Turner to do the vocals on but he died before that became possible. The black keys made a incredible album even although they deviated from the formula a bit. Brothers was soulful but the second half changed into a sleepy mess. El Camino shows a shift away from the blues with the second half of the album leaning towards light pop. I just don't know what to make of it. I think to be progressive is an important part of music in general but this is not the black keys that play dirty blues with massive hooks and slammin precussion that I fell in love with. Messing with the formula as much as El Camino does does not work for me. Obviously Lonely Boy , Gold On The Ceiling and Little Black Submarines are great songs and still enough to make me not shelve the cd for good. I guess this new direction will get a fan base that they would have never reached otherwise. Also sell out large arenas and get tons of radio play and attract teens. I wish them the best and hope they make a ton of money. Should be 1 star but I really love this band, I just don't like this direction.

| Very disappointing. Low Testosterone songs.
Im big fan of this band from the beginning. Because of how gritty and real the music was. But this is a sellout, to suck in people who listen to today's watered down music with no heart & guts. Gold on The Ceiling & Little Black Submarines are the only good songs here. The rest is like 70's bubblegum pop. The Keys have lost their edge. Now they are selling out the Madison Square Garden at he same time alienating the fans that supported them for the last ten years.
