Product description

Dive into the raw, unfiltered energy of The Black Keys' "Rubber Factory," a blues-rock masterpiece that captures the essence of garage rock revival. Originally released in 2004, this 2016 vinyl reissue brings the gritty, high-impact sound of the duo's third studio album to a new generation of fans. Recorded in an abandoned tire factory in their hometown of Akron, Ohio, "Rubber Factory" is a testament to The Black Keys' DIY ethos and their knack for creating music that feels both timeless and urgent.

The album opens with the haunting "When the Lights Go Out," setting the stage for a collection of songs that blend the raw power of early rock 'n' roll with the soulful twang of the blues. Standout tracks like "10 A.M. Automatic" and "Girl Is on My Mind" showcase the duo's signature sound, with Dan Auerbach's thick guitar lines and Patrick Carney's driving drum beats creating a sonic landscape that's as visceral as it is melodic. The album also features a standout cover of The Kinks' "Act Nice and Gentle," proving that The Black Keys can hold their own with the greats.

With its gritty production and raw energy, "Rubber Factory" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the raw, unfiltered sound of blues-rock. The album's 13 tracks clock in at just over 41 minutes, but the intensity and power of the music make it feel like a whirlwind tour through the darkest corners of the human psyche. Whether you're a longtime fan of The Black Keys or a newcomer to their music, "Rubber Factory" is an album that demands to be heard. So crank up the volume, close your eyes, and let the music take you away.

This 2018 Repress LP is pressed on Red vinyl.

  • Blues Rock Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    NouvCxciigKelxxOctober 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing album from the Black Keys before their massive breakthrough. Fantastic blues rock tracks. Sounds awesome.

  • Black Keys Overcome Noise

    4 out of 5 stars
    WkJunooOctober 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Joining the other folks who've reviewed this pressing, it's not top-notch. After a couple of plays and a good cleaning, it's quieter, but there's still a bit of faint crackling, especially on side two. But hey, it's the Black Keys, so the music overshadows any noise. And man, the music is awesome.

  • Black Keys' Best Record

    5 out of 5 stars
    Taple2060July 16, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic production and, I reckon, one of the best Black Keys records, ranking it alongside "Turn Blue" and "Magic Potion" for me.

  • Poor Quality Vinyl Pressing

    2 out of 5 stars
    UovofumducApril 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Vinyl and excellent music gone to waste... due to the poor quality of the record pressing/mastering. It's well centered, but the sound is harsh, there are thumps, and it crackles like crazy even after cleaning. Did they remove the midbass? MP3 files on a phone sound better than this. Unless you're ready for a letdown, don't purchase this pressing...---------------------------------------------------------------------------Quality checked using an AT-ART9XI stylus on a Technics sl-1200G turntable

About The Black Keys

The Black Keys, hailing from Akron, Ohio, are a powerhouse rock duo that has captivated audiences worldwide since their formation in 2001. Comprising Dan Auerbach on guitar and vocals, and Patrick Carney on drums, The Black Keys are renowned for their raw, blues-infused sound that pays homage to legends like Junior Kimbrough and Howlin' Wolf. Starting as an independent act, recording in basements and self-producing their music, they quickly rose to prominence during the garage rock revival of the 2000s. Their intense live performances and gritty, blues-soaked tracks have earned them a dedicated following and critical acclaim, making them a staple in the modern rock scene. With a discography that blends garage rock, blues rock, and modern blues, The Black Keys continue to push boundaries and deliver electrifying performances, as evidenced by their ongoing "No Rain, No Flowers Tour."
