The Black Keys

What’s everyone feeling about them nowadays? They’re last two albums have been the most underwhelming albums they’ve made by most standards yet now they’re at their peak popularity wise.
Do you think they’re capable of making a great album again?
Have they made any great albums?
What are your favorite tracks by them?
I’m seeing them tonight with Jake Bugg opening. I’m sure it will be a great show but the last few years my enthusiasm towards the band has whittled. Though Rubber Factory is great throughout (my favorite of theirs), I’m not sure any more if it’s a great album or just a collection of great songs.
My favorite song by them is actually a cover, I’m not sure what that says about them but it seems significant.
What are your thoughts?
