    Think they stuck to the same formula with the new songs?

    You can listen to the new single, Strange Times, here:

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=3451033&MyToken=b7e2b787-7098-45a5-b953-bcf6d97d0b72

    I don't know if I like it a whole lot. It sounds like they're going in a different direction. Not necessarily a bad thing. It almost reminds me of a QOTSA vibe. Thoughts?
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    A buddy of mine plays the lead singer in the new video. I thought that was pretty cool :)

    I can't wait for the new album.

    Definitely agree on the QOTSA sound. Something about the guitar and tempo reminds me a lot of them. Way different than anything I've heard by the Keys before. I like it though. Really pumped for the new album after hearing this song.

    sounds good

    Love the new single. Danger Mouse adds a great dynamic, but I wonder how (if) they will incorporate that into their live shows.

    The youtube video on their myspace page showed horns and brass recording in the studio. I think live horns would be a dope addition to their show.

    Rubber Factory and Thickfreakness are very good. My favorite is probably The Big Come Up. Hell, they're all good so you can't really go wrong.

    listening to the new one right now. it's great. duh.


    i'm pretty much drinking the kool-aid with these guys right now, they can't do wrong in my book.

    the album doesn't rock as hard as their other records and that's fine by me... lots of atmospheric tracks and swanky romantic sex tunes. dangermouse's presence is not what you would expect... there aren't any hip hop beats or anything... it's without a doubt a black keys record with a ton of experimentation... he brought a fresh perspective more than anything. the album sounds great all the way through, too, so the guy knows how to record an organic rock band.

    "same old thing" is the best track they ever wrote. check out that flute! nice.

    The new video in the laser tag arena is hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at the kid that was like, " I THINK THEY'RE USING REAL LASERS!"

    Holy crap, I picked up Attack and Release the other day....can't believe I've missed out on these guys for so long. I Got Mine and Same Old Thing are two bad ass tracks, but the whole damn thing is good..they've definitely found a new fan....time to locate the back catalogue now
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
