## Description

2004 release, the third album from the acclaimed Alt-Rock/Blues duo. Rubber Factory continues the Black Keys' tradition of raw, heavily blues-influenced indie rock. Rubber Factory was recorded in an abandoned coal burning power plant in the Black Keys' hometown of Akron, Ohio, and like Thickfreakness, was recorded and produced by Patrick Carney.

Review: The Best Black Keys album - Long overdue, this review should have been written in 2005 when i first purchased this album, and it reinvigorated my feeling that the heart of rock and roll was still beatin' indeed. From start to finish this lp was a study in minimalism as a macrocosm of sound. From the opening beat and guitar intro of "When the lights go Out" these guys evoke an intimate basement blues aesthetic but with just guitar and drums the sound is so big! Leading into the groovy "10 am automatic" there's something instantly classic going on here with the funky hip hop inflected beat and the loud riffy guitar lines he's even invoking Hendrix a lil' and other clasic bluesy rock (Creedence) as on "All hands Aganist his own" and "Stack Shot Billy". "The Desperate Man" has this sexy funky thing going on with the quiet /loud dynamic and some soulful blues guitar. It was so sexy that Victoria''s secret used it in one of their commercials in 2006 "Girl Is On my mind just plain rips, with Dan doing a crunchy solo towards the end and the energy level reaches catharceces twice and then grows soft for the ending. "Grown So ugly" does a lot of justice to the original and is a rolling blues rocker in a more obvious way than the Beefheart original but its a worthy cover. "Act Nice and Gentle" is an awesome swinging ballad with a catchy melody and funky slide guitar. Another Favorite "Aeroplane Blues" wails and squalls with feedback soaked riffs and a tough hip hop styled beat. "Till I get My way" closes the album with a bang and a ripping feedback soaked guitar groove. Man this was the keys at their stripped down best and my introduction to one of my favorite bands of the last 20 years. For me this was an awesome diving board that invigorated my rock and roll spirit.
Review: Their best album yet - After an explosive debut album and a mellower sophomore effort, Akron duo The Black Keys roar back with "Rubber Factory", a passionate, catchy, masterpiece that proves these guys are for real. In their third album in as many years, the Keys press ahead with their revival of the long-sputtering genre of blues rock. Having rejected a major record label and signed instead with blues authority Fat Possum, the Keys stay true to their fuzzed-out demo-tape sound, recording the album in an abandoned tire factory, with drummer Patrick Carney producing the songs on his trusty 4-track (or did they graduate to 8-track by now?). Topping both their previous efforts, "Rubber Factory" does not have a single bad song. It is actually difficult to pick the best ones because they are ALL so good. Unlike "The Big Come Up" and "Thickfreakness", though, "Rubber Factory" starts off in low gear with the mellow "When the Lights Go Out". Things get pumped up right after that with what is undoubtedly the catchiest song they've done yet -- "10 a.m. Automatic". This song is so fun and addictive it takes a conscious exertion of will not to just play it over and over. The nice mellow ride of "Just Couldn't Tie Me Down" recalls a bit of the juke joint feel so prevalent on "Thickfreakness". The next three tracks -- "All Hands Against His Own", "The Desperate Man" and "Girl Is On My Mind" -- form a trio of catchy, classic-rock style tunes. Things mellow out a bit for a sugary ballad, "The Lengths", but get kicked right back up with "Grown So Ugly", a jammin' and hard-hitting rock number. "Stack Shot Billy" is a wonderful electric-slide resurrection of the outlaw song, and shows that these guys know their source material. "Aeroplane Blues" and "Keep Me" are other straight-out sonic assaults that will put a crooked smile on the face of anyone with an ounce of blues running in their veins. The album closes with a real bang -- the energetic "Till I Get My Way". The crunch of Auerbach's guitar and Carney's head-bobbing tattoo meld into some of the best jamming they've yet displayed. "Rubber Factory" is a nearly flawless piece of work that should have no problem standing the test of time. I hope these guys are having as much fun making this music as I am listening to it. I already can't wait until the next one...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't stop listening to this
*by T***N on August 27, 2008*

I learned about The Black Keys 6 months ago and started with their debut album and bought everything except their latest to date. If I was going to recommend an album to start with, it would be Rubber Factory. I am a big fan of the White Stripes, and hearing these guys played as a two piece intrigued me. They have surpassed my expectations. The music is raw blues, with some rocking riffing tunes stuck in. This CD has been on heavy rotation in my house and truck ever since. Thickfreakness is also very solid, I can't get "Midnight in Her Eyes" out of my head - but that's ok.
