    The Black Keys rocked out on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, leading Stereogum to remind readers that it "gave props to Attack & Release" even before the record's release at the beginning of the month. The site gives props this time around to the "plow through the anvil-slamming, scuzz-blues riffage of 'I Got Mine'" the band brought to the show last night. JamBase, in an interview with producer Danger Mouse, calls the album "an incredible piece of work."

    Attack & Release, says KCRA-Sacramento, marks "a new musical paradigm for The Black Keys." The band is "now reborn and under a sign that bodes them well." And by year's end, it "shouldn't be a surprise to see the record wind up on many critics best-of lists." Metro Toronto gives the album four stars, calling the Black Keys / Danger Mouse pairing "a synergy that is so good." The Tampa Tribune exclaims that the band has unlocked a "grimy blues treasure trove" with the album.

    Congratulations to The Black Keys on the debut of their latest album, Attack & Release, at No. 14 on the Billboard album chart, marking a career high for the band. Detroit's Metro Times says the songs on the album "boast the intimate homegrown shagginess of The Black Keys' previous releases, but with numerous nuanced musical and production shimmers winningly integrated by producer Danger Mouse," blending "an epic quality with a timeless immediacy, making it lush, visual and 'soundtrack-y' in the best David Lynch or Quentin Tarantino sense."

The duo's collaboration with producer Danger Mouse brings "fresh, intriguing, and often inspiring" results. The Christian Science Monitor gives the album an A-, saying: "It may be the blues, and it may be strange, but that doesn't mean it can't feel good."

    "Attack & Release may be the postage stamp that finally sends the music of The Black Keys around the world," exclaims the San Francisco Chronicle. Producer Danger Mouse "gives these guys a brilliant sheen, sort of like a pocket-size Zeppelin, and lets the band's brilliance shine through. This is one for year-end Top 10 lists already."

    The Black Keys rocked The Wiltern in Los Angeles last night, celebrating the release of their new album, Attack & Release, with a couple thousand fans. The Associated Press album review struggles to single out one song to recommend above the rest: "There are so many delightful songs here, it's hard to pick one. Let's go with 'Psychotic Girl,' a song so unlike anything the Keys have done it's startling ... a melange of familiar sounds spun into a new flavor of cotton candy we've never tasted before."
