Any Black Keys fans out there?

Curious as to what you guys think of their new album.  I really like it, but based on reviews I've read there is a rift in the fan base.  You've got those who prefer the early BK's sound over their more recent pop sound.  I appreciate both but Brothers is my fav BK's album to date, and this new one is quickly becoming right up there for me.  Love the vibe, love the song mix.  One of these days I'm gonna go see them live.

I like it a lot, but I do like their early sound better.  BTW, the opening riff on the first track on this new album sounds almost identical to Pink Floyd's "Breathe".  I wonder if they're catching any flack over that.

Yup, and track #11's opening sounds just like Aerosmith's "Mama Kin".  Still, there's a lot worse songs to be sounding like.    

I like their early stuff, but I like their new stuff too.  It's fun just to put the whole collection on shuffle and bounce back and forth while mowing the lawn.
