Product description

Dive into the raw, unfiltered energy of Akron, Ohio's own The Black Keys with their breakthrough album, "Thickfreakness." Released on April 8, 2003, via Fat Possum Records, this 38-minute powerhouse is a testament to the duo's blues-rock prowess, solidifying their status as indie-rock blues pioneers. "Thickfreakness" is the second studio album from The Black Keys, featuring Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, and it's a relentless journey through stripped-down delta blues and garage rock.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Thickfreakness," setting the tone for the gritty, high-energy collection that follows. Tracks like "Hard Row" and "Set You Free" showcase the band's signature raw guitar riffs and powerful vocals, while "Midnight in Her Eyes" and "Have Love Will Travel" offer a touch of bluesy soul. Each of the eleven tracks was recorded and mixed in December 2002 by Patrick Carney, capturing the essence of The Black Keys' live performances and translating it onto wax.

"Thickfreakness" marked a significant turning point for The Black Keys, leading to a rigorous tour schedule and opening for Beck on his Sea Change summer tour in 2003. The album's recognition catapulted the duo into the spotlight, sharing pages in rock history with contemporaries like The Strokes. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to The Black Keys' discography, "Thickfreakness" is an essential addition to any rock enthusiast's collection. So, crank up the volume and let the raw, unapologetic sound of The Black Keys transport you to the gritty streets of Akron.

This is a 2023 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Vinyl Vocals Unchanged

    3 out of 5 stars
    wtuqiziNovember 11, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    The album's sound is akin to the original version. The vocals, which are distorted and compressed, haven't been remixed for the vinyl releases.

  • Sealed Fat Possum Records Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    quamel958October 15, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    I purchased this item described as new and sealed. The runouts on my copy are etched as follows: Side A: FP80371-1 MRP0025 J. POWELL Side B: FP80371-1 MRP0025 J. POWELL The cellophane wrapping features a black and gold sticker. Inside the circle, it says "We're Trying Our Best," while the outer circle has "FAT POSSUM RECORDS" on the top and "FATPOSSUM.COM" on the bottom. No download code was included, but there was a postcard for the Fat Possum Records mailing list and a 20% off promo code. On the back of the postcard, it mentions that you can stream the music through various services.

  • Flawed Vinyl Pressing

    3 out of 5 stars
    XXN85October 2, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    This pressing isn't the cleanest I've seen. There's a few crackles and skips when playing it, and my copy even came with a bit of a bend.

  • Mid-Fi Black Keys Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    ZonnlnooSeptember 22, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    This album is a great mid-fi record with no extra fluff, and the 180 gram vinyl really beefs up the sound! It's a blast to listen to and shows a totally different side of The Black Keys compared to their current style.

  • Black Keys' Raw Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    izevarigrcSeptember 5, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Just put the needle down on this rather nice-looking red blob thing... Did The Black Keys just show up and start playing live in my living room? I reckon they did! πŸ€”... Pure awesomeness! Keys at their finest... Amazing pressing! Speakers are absolutely blown away... The first three Black Keys albums are fantastic, they naturally had to grow, and I enjoy most of what came after, but this stuff is on a whole other level, right!?! "Filth" perfectly describes it, grab one of these, they look and sound fantastic! What an album!

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.

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."
