## Description

Product Description Limited edition double vinyl LP set including CD. On Attack and Release, Danger Mouse is more creative coconspirator than traditional figure behind the boards. He doesn't radically alter the duo 's sound so much as coax out more of it's inherent soulfulness, groove and bittersweet emotion. Two versions of 'Remember When' illustrate how the duo can swing easily from smoldering ballad to thrashing rocker. I'm more pleased with the sound of this record than any one we've ever made,' says Carney, and Auerbach concurs: 'We never let it all go like we did for this one, anything was game. It was just fun to make, and that's why I think it's so successful.' desertcart.com Of all the two-piece rock bands (Dresden Dolls, The White Stripes, The Kills, John & Jehn) out there making a royal racket, The Black Keys are by far the least affected by the last three decades of popular music, and evolution. Even more so than Jack & Meg. Which makes you check the album credits twice and then seek a second opinion--produced by celebrated uber-producer, superstar DJ and one half of Gnarls Barkley, the ubiquitous and really quite modern Danger Mouse?! No, your eyes do not deceive you, but thankfully neither do your ears. He may have brought a discipline and expensive sheen to Attack & Release, the riffing is buffed up real good, but this is essentially the same band that continues to live less of a life and more a Jimi Hendrix Experience. If there is a change it's that for the first time their foot is teased off the accelerator, with "Lies", "Remember When (Side A)" and "Oceans & Streams" loosening their shoulders and playing a more chilled brand of dusty sunset southern blues, adding in keys and new layers of texture (is that really a flute on "Same Old Thing"?!). There's still plenty of chance, on the massive Zeppelin-esque "Strange Times" and "Remember When (Side B)" for instance, to leave a boot mark though. More release than attack this time around, but the key still fits. --James Berry

Review: Do it. Don't think about it. Just do it. - The music on this album is out-of-control good. I mean, come on, The Black Keys and Danger Mouse; obviously it's going to be great. If you're reading this review chances are you already know the music is good, though. You're probably interested to know about the the record itself. The album art is pretty straightforward; pictures of Dan and Patrick with some watercolor painting enhancement. Nice, nothing crazy, I like the watercolor theme though. The album cover is made of thick paper, similar to that of a cereal box, but thicker. The cover is a bifold design with two slots, a nice little extra that's often overlooked. In one of the slots you'll find the included cd, in the other you'll find the record and a lyric sheet. It's nice that the record and its cover to be high quality because, well, that's part of the point of buying the record and not buying the music in mp3 form. The album also comes with an included cd version, which is great. Record labels take note: there are still people out there willing to buy records; cd or mp3 is a poor substitute for a vinyl record. If you're like me, you want to own the physical record, to see the album art, hold the product in your hands, have the excitement of opening a new record, all that good stuff. As a matter of practicality though, It's also nice to have a digital copy (a cd or an mp3 download) because it's not so easy to get a record onto an ipod. Why are you still reading this? Go ahead and buy this record, you'll be glad you did.
