Did the Black Keys sell out?. Danger Mouse destroyed the Black Keys. I can not believe album is real. Even for pop music this bad. Someone please bring back the Black Keys from prior to the release of this album. Wow!

Wasn't sure, but it grew on me. At first, I thought What the.... But now I love it and find myself singing every song in my head. Love the old stuff, but this is pretty impressive too. "Gotta get away" is one of my favorite songs, but oddly enough, it feels out of place on this album.

I want thre old Black Keys Back!. Ug. I just can;t enjoy this album, It is so mellow and boring. I miss the old school hard rock/blues sound but it seems like this band has sold out to mainstream sound. Hopefully their next album will return a bit to their old school blues roots but I doubt it eventually these guys will sound like every indie pop band out there.

Black keys did it again. This album is amazing, not your magic potion or thickfreakness, but good nevertheless. loved bullet in the brain, weight of love, and turn blue in particular. this may sound weird but their music always makes you feel something, which is good.. I guess it triggers certain memories for me. idk. great album

New Stuff, happy me. They're old stuff was amazing, and I can't believe people are complaining about this album, it's amazing as well! Just cause the Black Keys are trying something new, doesn't mean it's bad. If you can't accept change, then don't listen to this album, otherwise, keep doing you!

Weight of love. Don’t be musically slutty.

Every Band Needs Change. For those that are saying that this isn’t their old stuff and that they changed, you’re totally right. Every band goes through change. If they keep giving you the same exact sound over and over again, what good is that? This album sounds incredible to me. I believe it’s an amazing work of art with mellow sounds. And you even get some of their louder stuff too. I love it!

Every band has this phase. I'm this album the black keys are trying to find their sound, and it isn't this

Awesome. This is melancholy music to listen to when you're high

Buy this album!!!. Great songs. Lots of awesome riffs. Play the whole album (especially while driving) 👍😜

Another great album from TBK. It's better than El Camino but not as good as Brothers which is my favorite TBK album. I highly recommend Weight of Love, Year in Review, In Our Prime and Gotta Get Away. Weight of Love is one of the greatest TBK songs and if the rest of the album was like this, Turn Blue would easily be their best album. I'm not saying I hate Turn Blue but Weight of Love is godly compared to the other songs. My least favorite songs were Bullet in the Brain and It's Up to You Now; they feel lackluster and don't have the same energy as Fever (yes I actually like Fever) and Gotta Get Away in my opinion.

Astonishing !. Although many see change in them, its a album i can relate to & absolutely love it. The Soul Rock Alternative tracks are simply amazing. thank you Black Keys! for a phenomenal album

Yuck. This album is awful. What happened to the two blue collar boys from Akron that wrote "Thickfreakness" and made a Junior Kimbrough tribute album? I really thought these boys were saving rock and roll. Time to throw them to the hipsters.

In our prime. My tears can’t even this mood and the memories "A Tale Of Two Stories; The Modern Day Draft"

Oof. Perff

Move on. I understand this album is different from the Black Keys older sound, and I know not everyone likes the change, but there's no need to be a jerk about it. Even if you don't like the change in musical direction, I think this comment section can agree that this music is still way better than most Top 40 songs... so give some credit to TBK for keeping musical integrity. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you should force your opinion on others.

Oy Vey. The Keys' funky phase is a bit confusing because it's not bad, and yet it's not that great either. 'Weight of Love' is their best song on the album, but I'm not about to ridicule them for that considering the lack of talent floating around the pop scene anyway. This is an obvious post from anyone a fan of The Black Keys, I realize. All I can hope is for this duo to never get this lazy again.

LOVE. my favOrite album from them. Listen to weight of love

The black Keys. For every negative review I read....come on really? Call if you see the black keys?....I don't like the direction there going?... I have to say for me it's like reviewing the Beatles based solely on their old albums."Oh God, I hate Sgt. Pepper and the White Album it sounds nothing like Meet the Beatles...." This could possibly be one of the best albums I heard all of 2010 era. They perfectly placed their old blues with a seventies type feel for a strange album that sounds nothing like today's rock standards. I welcome the change and say bring on the next White Album.

go back to garage w/o danger mouse. it reminds me of watching Wilco turn into daddy rock, i like listening to music that makes me forget about changing diapers. black keys still awesome

sigh.. I was just listening to attack and release and thought, "Hmmmm. I could use some new Black Keys." Then I sampled this recording and El Camino and got depressed. Who took their balls away?? I could blame Dangermouse but these guys are grown assed artists in charge of their own destiny. And apperently they choose to make muzak for the Apple Generation. It's catchy. Just weakweakweak. Can't you f%&#ers be multi-dimensionaly creative and still keep things hairy? I think you can. You just aren't. I wont buy this. I'll be checking out something earlier and giving Attack And Release another spin instead.

Different.... But, some amazing music nonetheless!! Some great guitar solos and bass!! Weight of Love might be one of the best guitar solos of the 21st century.

It saddens me to listen to this. Just stay away from this album. They should have stayed in the garage and played their filthy garage blues and not become a synth pop band. I think I understand what they were trying to do here, experiment with new sounds but they forgot to include their garage blues in the mix. They were on a path and decided "hey lets blaze a new musical trail." Now they are so far down this path I don't know if they can make it back to where they were before. They are so close to being irrelevant and I think that's the saddest part of all

Great sound. Awesome

Stellar!. Love the 70's classic rock vibe, guitar work and melodies. It's different than what you would expect from the Black Keys, but sometimes different is better and this new direction is no exception.

Turn Blue. I was just showing my teen aged daughter how this album sounds like ELO from the 80's when they just wouldn't let Disco die. Don't believe me? Listen real close to Gotta Get Away.

The Black Keys just keep getting better. Older fans may complain about Turn Blue, but from a newer fan like myself, I love the album. The group's style has changed, but the changes have been for the better like a clearer and cleaner sound.

Gejdjj. I love this band my favorite song is "year in review"

Nooooo !. The black keys keep getting further and further away from the roots,, very disappointed with this release, I try to except it for what it is but still do not like it at all.. please bring back the distorted greediness with great guitar riffs...Rubber Factory is still very best hands-down....so disappointed in this..

I refuse to buy a single song from this album.... When I get home from getting paid I instantly go onto iTunes to buy a black keys song or two... except when this album came out I did not buy a single song. Why? Because I originally LOVED TBKs for not being mainstream crap.... looks like they are on that path now... What happened to the old stuff? Attack and Release? El Camino? Brothers?!!!!

10/10. You grow to love and adore this album. The more you listen, the more significant the lyrics feel through you're emotions. Great Job Dan and Pat.☺️

Vibes. I love this I can work for 8 hours and it feels like 10 mins when I listen to this song

Late review. This is definitely a change but they still managed to explode my mind. I thought Brothers was the best but this is the best! Lol... Except for that Kalamazoo song...

No More "Danger Mouse". Why does ‘Danger Mouse” have to ruin every good band left in the world? His cheesy synthed out over production makes me throw up a little everytime i hear anything he has produced. I am happy for the Keys success, but please Danger Mouse stop ruining good bands.

Good Album. Not my favorite album they've done but I still love it.

Turn Blue. Great album but different from the rest of the Black Keys' albums. More psychedelic than blues but if you appreciate all types of rock, you'll enjoy this!

It's not bad..... ....But not great either. To me it sounds like elevator music. Between the 4th an 10th listening of the entire album my review is a solid Four of Five stars.

Last time I preorder a Black Keys album.. This is the last time i pre-order a Black Keys album. It used to be just automatic that I'd preorder, but Turn Blue has taught me that they are no longer a sure thing. Too bad i can't sell these songs back. This is the beginning of the end for the Black Keys. They are clearly no longer "in (their) prime" like their song title. There's been a steady de-evolution since Brothers. This album is basically just the weakest parts of El Camino and amplified. And the very worst track on Brothers is still slightly better than the best track on Turn Blue. This band peaked with albums like Magic Potion and Thickfreakness. If you want to see classic Black Keys nowadays you need to check out Black Pistol Fire and Royal Blood. Though they wouldn't have existed without the groundwork that the Keys laid, they have not sold out or gotten pretentious....yet. Enjoy them now before they make enough money and get too high of an opinion of themselves. I don't see that happening with Pistol, but I definitely see Royal Blood selling out like the Keys. They've gone soft and full of themselves. It's like the Black Keys on Valium. They sound like they're trying to win a Grammy. Where's that hungry and grimy garage blues band? They are moving away from what I like to hear at an alarming rate. It's overdressed and awful with palpably less soul and integrity. You're a two man band for Pete's sake, why is there so much extra noise?? You were FAR better when all you could hear was vocals, drums and one of the best guitars ever. Obviously Danger Mouse gets a big share of the blame for killing this band on this album. He obscured all that makes them great with layers and layers of the two most evil words in music today: "Sonic Landscapes." There's every kind of needless and fake noise you can throw at a band. The only noise you don't hear, in fact, is the sound of the band and the producer being crushed by their huge egos. If I wanted to hear Broken Bells, I'd listen to Broken Bells. Thanks to Danger Mouse and the direction Auerbach is heading, this album is more R&B and electronic that happens to also have guitars and drums than rock. They used to be just two crazy talented musicians, but now they need tech support to perform in addition to roadies. There's practically no swampy feel whatsoever which really makes me sad. They were the ones that got me in to swampy blues and now they've abandoned it. A fact that certainly made me "turn blue" in my soul. You can blame age for some of this change and you can blame Danger Mouse for another portion, but really it's all about them just trying to make even more money at this point. Not music. You could argue that Brothers and El Camino were just band growth and change, but isn't it ironic that this dramatic change followed their biggest commerical success??? They are clearly pandering to the largest groups of album buyers out there. And they don't tend to be the deepest and most intelligent people. Music for the masses is always the most profitible. They got a taste of big $ and they chose that over the music. Though Dan can still play the heck out of a guitar, this is by far my least favorite Keys album if you haven't already guessed. This album has dramatically weaker stats than every other album in their catalog. The average song on this album is 3 stars while every other Keys album has 4-5 star average songs. What's even worse, this is the FIRST time i've had throwaways on a Black Keys album. I'm still in shock almost 2 years later over this fact. :( There's just five 3 star songs and the rest are throwaways. All of the tracks that I kept are coincidentally also the five most popular tracks. You can tell that the people know what they want from this band. But Dan and Patrick are chosing to follow Danger Mouse (stupid name) all the way to the bank.

This album is sexy. The sound and feel of this album is just plan sexy. Once again good job my fellow Ohioans😊. I'm proud to know your from the Buckeye state👍 O-H-I-O

DONT GET ME WRONG. It's a good album but it has too many electronic sounds and not enough good 'old rock like they used to

Strayed too far. I LOVE all their old music. This album is just okay, though. It lacks the personality and genuine feel of their previous work.

Weight of Love. Why are there no reviews mainly about this song?? I love "Weight of Love" so much. I also like "Fever" but I don't think that it's as good as "Weight of Love". Just me? This album is amazing though. 5 stars ^ < > ^

Give it time, it's excellent. This album is sensational but also requires a few listens to understand the depth of it. The people who haven't liked it want instant gratification where this albums strength is the collective whole. In Time, Fever, and Gotta Get Away are the highlights

Sad. I miss the pure, raw, unadulterated Black Keys sound. What ever happened to the days when it was just Dan and Patrick jamming out on the guitar and drums with insane bluesy riffs and soulful lyrics not worried about filling stadiums and making sure their albums went platinum. I understand that they are trying to make money, but they are a shell of their former selves and it is so incredibly sad. Really hoping now that they are rich and famous, they decide to take it back to “Rubber Factory,” “Thickfreakness,” and “Magic Potion.” They might as well be called “The Band Formerly Known as The Black Keys."

Turn What?. Studio wizard Danger Mouse? Hardly. I understand bands evolve and you’re not always going to like all the new stuff but memo to the band: don’t forget what got you there in the first place. Not a hater but it's time to find a new studio wizard. Get back to your roots boys.

Amazing. While Turn Blue is different than any other Black Keys album, it’s unique feel is what makes it great!

Nice. Really love this album

The Pinnacle. .....this album is IT! incredible soulful blues,outstanding vocals, just one word to describe this whole collection....incredible! Even through in a little "70"s style organ. Should have won the Grammy for best album, although Beck was top notch too! Glad they have come out of the Garage! Not sure how they can top perfection, guess we'll wait and see!

It’s good. Re- reviewing this album, I like it but wish they’d get back to the underground founding blues rock. Kinda feel like they’re selling out.

Turn blue. Fever and 10 lovers are the best 💘💙
