Don't get it twisted I actually quite like The Black Keys, but this album is basically Blues for people who are afraid of black people. It's far too bloated and repetitive. I'd throw it on in the background but let's be honest it's music for a FIFA soundtrack. El Camino is a much more interesting and record so go listen to that instead. But even then... do The Black Keys really belong on this list at all?
Yeh I mean I've listened to a few Nick Drake songs before, mostly from Pink Moon which is quite different, this is the first full album. Its very jazzy folk, it's pleasant it sounds good. Probably something I would listen more to as individual songs, didn't really engage me as an album experience but it was pretty good.

Been a while since I listed in full. Couple reasons why it's behind the Holy trinity and AMSP like the production not so crisp and much more of mood album. But its still great.
