5.0 out of 5 stars Your ears will love you..., January 31, 2009

By	Y. Quinones "only the best" (TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

from the moment you begin listening. The Black Keys are a burst of the best sound in ages. They are nothing but great grinding guitar and the best of drum beats. If you are truly a music lover, you must at least listen to them once in your life, see them once in your life, and buy this album! "The Moan" comes in nice and easy and builds up to where, even though it might sound chessy, you're body will be moaning from the pleasure it delivers. Dan Auerbach's voice is honestly one of the better male blues voices out there. "Heavy Soul" is a song we are reintroduced to and does it sound better than ever: more livelier if you ask me. "No Fun" is definitely lots of fun to listen to. "Have Love Will Travel" is also very very very awesome... it makes you think you are sounding to something straight from 40 years ago when the intro first kicks in. I swear, I can't put my finger on it, but this one is definitely inspired by some great rock of 40 years ago. Yes I know this is a cover, but I do not think it sounds like the covers as much as whatever song it is I am thinking of. My advice... GET THIS ALBUM!

4.0 out of 5 stars "The Moan" Arguably TBK's best song!, April 17, 2008

By	R. Wooten "RAW" (Dallas,Tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm kind of surprised more people haven't reviewed this EP. "The Moan" aside from "Busted" is my favorite of all TBK songs. The main riff sounds like a take off of Howlin' Wolf's "Moanin at Midnight". The middle of the song is Carney at his best and Dan ripping it up with variations of the great blues riff. This song alone makes this EP worth buying. I also really enjoy the fast paced new version of "Have Love Will Travel". This song was already a good one from their album "Thickfreakness" but it's made even better here. The Keys have another reprint on this album "Heavy Soul". I like the song but I wish they would have written a new one or put one of their unreleased songs in place of heavy soul. I don't see the need for a 4 song EP to feature two songs previouse released. If they had done something else other than heavy soul I might give this 5 stars. Next the Keys cover the Stooges "No Fun". I enjoy the song and it's a nice cover but it is not as great as the original. And no I'm not going to give it 3 stars because of the length of the album, it's called an EP for a reason people. Overall 4 stars. 2 great songs and 2 good ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but short, June 24, 2007

By	R. Fidler (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is good with it's only drawback being it's length... almost a "tease" album as just when you get going, it's over.
