Preferred Track: none so far…
Released last week.
Well, I kind of enjoyed some Black Keys’ albums by the past, especially the loaded with hits “Brothers”.
Since then, the need to create this raw/crude low-fi sound has been worsening the Sound Quality albums after albums…
We’re now at the stage it is barely listenable.
A real shame…
