They've made a blistering blues impression with six increasingly fantastic album releases in eight years, but The Black Keys' latest album Brothers is a riff-roaring cumulation of the Akron duo's strongest blues grit, with a return to the production gloss they warmed to for 2008's Attack & Release (read our review). A linear path of development and exploration is evident in even the most casual stroll through the band's catalog, but never have the Keys pooled their stylistic strengths more than on their latest release.
