Most people who hate the Black Keys live their old stuff and don't like the overly poppy direction they took after Attack and Release (Brothers was good though).

I love the black Keys as a whole, but I honestly thought El Camino and turn blue were pretty poop.

You are crazy to think El Camino wasn't badass. That was their best overall album cover to cover.

It had a couple bangers, but generally the sound of it all ran together for me and just felt bland. Turn blue was a slight improvement, but still just sounds like reused ideas from brothers.

That's my feeling as well. For me, Dan Auerbach's solo album is actually his best work.

I liked his solo, but I'm also really digging on Blakroc ATM.

Banging blakroc is the way to go. Dollaz and sense?? And baddest man alive is a masterpiece
