In a new social post, a voice-over reads through some of the reviews The Black Keys have received since the release of 2024’s Ohio Players, like Rolling Stone‘s which says the band has struck “mellow gold,” as well as Exclaim!‘s opinion that the album consists of “the worst kind of overstimulation.”
Additionally, while the ballad track “On The Game” also gets polarizing professional reviews, the band decided to include some YouTube comments from the general public to the fray, with one commenter trashing the song “Paper Crown” featuring Juicy J as the “worst collab ever,” and another saying it may be their “favorite on the album.”
What do you think? The band wants your comments -- no matter your opinion! The Black Keys' Ohio Players, featuring "Beautiful People (Stay High)" and more, is out everywhere via Nonesuch Records.
Grab tickets now for their upcoming North American trek, officially kicking off in Tulsa, Oklahoma on September 17, with stops planned in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Seattle, Toronto, Nashville, New York, Boston, Chicago, and more before wrapping in Detroit in early November.
