That's a good choice. I really like Pat's drumming on El Camino. It's too early to say if it's his best work - haven't done a side by side comparison - but he really stands out on "Little Black Submarines" and others.

So far, album is good. It's different in that it all seems positive and uptempo... it's taking some adjusting seeing as the blues/blues-rock sound is what drew me to them so long ago, but quite a few stand out tracks here. A few that I see as skip-able, but they haven't been totally immune to that in the past.

I think Magic Potion is one of their best albums, possibly their best. Just about every song on it is great.

I'm about to listen to El Camino for the first time.

"Little Black Submarine" is the only song that stands out from my first listen. They all kind of have the same feel to them. I don't think it's as good as Brothers, and definitely not as good as their older albums.

My sincerest apologies - I misread the post that originally gave me the idea that they were splitting up. It was mostly speculation that because they're both working on solo projects, they may not be working together in the future.

No worries, you just made me panic a little there... I started searching the interwebz for news on the duo, heh.

I would be happy if they broke up. Getting pretty bored of them now. Liked their solo projects/collabs better than their latest albums anyway.

I've listened to El Camino a couple of times and still have no strong opinion of it yet.

Not including El Camino this is how I rank their albums

Rubber Factory>>>>>>thickfreakness>>>Chulahoma>Brothers>A ttack and Release>Magic Potion>The Big Come Up

I love the Black Keys, I think their simplistic style is just so great.
me being a drummer i love Patrick Carney's super easy but gritty style

Tier 1
Chulahoma
Rubber Factory
Thickfreakness

Tier 2
The Big Come Up
Brothers
El Camino

Tier 3
Magic Potion
Attack & Release

Each album in a tier is ranked in order, but close to equal.

Ok, how about top 10 (top 20?) songs?...
