The Black Keys

It's okay but not great.

I heard the main complaint is not enough distortion.

True?

Or just not as catchy?

They sound like Paul Rogers from Bad Co. singing for The Seeds.

There could be a bit more distortion.
My main thing with it is there's not enough variety among the tracks
and there's a lot of female backing singing, which sounds a little like The The in places.
Nothing at all against The The, I just think less would have been better.
Not a big fan of backing singers anyway unless it's in the right genre - like Disco or Donnie and Marie or something.

I like the backing vocals. They have been so stripped down for so long that I like hearing the songs all juked up.

There are definitely a few tracks that seem to not stay with you, but there are some really good ones. And two amazingly good garage rockers.

I like that they made a 40 minute record with songs I like than feel tthe needs to put 8 songs and then 8 acoustic versions of those songs like the Yeah Yeahs.
