ReviewsRanked #40 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "A cascade of country-soul, heavy-psych and melancholy balladry...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The signature raw blues sound is still there, but now it's spiced up with classic R&B, garage, country and even electronic flavours, all rich with melody and driving power.", "The quirks enhance the power of the desolation at the Keys' core, and prove that gut-grabbing and ear-stroking needn't be mutually exclusive." -- Grade: A-, "A Harrowingly Dark Yet Astoundingly Brilliant Batch of Songs...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Here, the Akron, Ohio twosome teams with producer Danger Mouse, who quietly unfolds in the occasional breakbeat, even adding that classic hipster signifier -- the funk flute -- to 'Same Old Thing.'", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Their music often sounds broadcast from another planet. Thank indie-minded hip-hop producer for that; he fleshes out the band's bare-fisted approach...", Ranked #15 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "You don't count the parts inside; you just dig the sum.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The Keys' most multicolored set: A psychedelic hybrid of vintage Southern R&B, brutish British invasion rock, and country blues...", "The album has a pedigree -- originally written for Ike Turner, A&R now stands as a graceful marker of the legend's last planned project.", "ATTACK AND RELEASE subtly expands the Black Keys sound....A sequence of slow burns, the record's tempos allow you to relish the details and the textures.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Black Keys are on the cusp of greatness....'Lies' is Motown-apeing bliss, while 'Things Ain't What They Used To Be' is a bone fide classic.", "There's no question that singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney are proficient purveyors of heavy-duty, greased-up garage blues with a ridiculous amount of swagger.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Danger Mouse's effect is apparent, the sparse guitar-and-drums template fleshed out with organ and banjo..."
Additional InformationEmphasizing waves of sound, the Danger Mouse-produced Attack & Release drifts along, with Auerbach's guitars and Carney's drums puncturing its artful sonic sculptures.
