4 out of 5 stars great debut   September 5, 2010
Rothbardian Zeppelin Fan
Blues rock made a strong come back starting in 2002 with this excellent album. The Black Keys really know how to modernize the blues sound for people in the 21st century. The songs are pretty short, and they don't change too much from song to song. However, it was a great debut for a band who has gone on to many a great thing for the music world.


5 out of 5 stars Can't nobody [...] with The Keys   August 28, 2010
Justin McQuillen (Mobile, AL)
This is their 1st album. Stripped down bare bones blues rock at its finest. Love these guys, would recommend you buy all their albums, like I did. 'Brothers' is my favorite.


4 out of 5 stars Hitting the right key.   August 11, 2010
John Negro (Sydney,Australia)
A good solid early album by the Keys infused with dirty blues and gritty rock.
The grooves are all there so whats there to dislike?
Get it only if you like raw blues/rock.



5 out of 5 stars Raw.   July 30, 2010

I was introduced to the Black Key's through they're most recent album, Brothers. Loving what I heard, I snapped up Rubber Factory and The Big Come Up. I have to say, this might be my favorite of the three. Each album has it's fine points, but this one in particular has a rough, almost bootlegged quality of sound to it. Each track is filled with an infectious raw energy that's hard to resist. And "Breaks" is probably my favorite Key's song to date--a catchy-ass screeching guitar lick loops over an almost hip-hop sounding drum beat. Then Auerbach's voice slides in, smooth as ice, and I can't pull the grin off my face.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome album, best Black Keys in my opinion   May 28, 2010
R. Hooyman (Little Chute, WI)
This is by far my favorite album by the Black Keys, although I am not sure there is really a bad one. If you like bluesy rock you will really enjoy this band in my opinion. If you found out about the Black Keys later on, this album is an amazing addition to you collection! My favorite song is Countdown, but they are all really amazing! Really great band! And as of 5/2010 the album is nicely priced on Amazon : ) Enjoy....you will be back for more!
