The Black Keys - "Tighten Up"

So last week I watched the video for the new Black Keys single, and despite the fact that it's absolutely awful, I found the song itself to be somewhat terrific. I kind of expected them to go back to the way they sounded before teaming up with Danger Mouse on Attack & Release, but it definitely sounds like they're moving forward. Even though it's not too far from their typical track, it just seems a bit more well-crafted and thought out rather than just a simple blues-rock song. Unfortunately, the new album cover is going to be going along with the stupid literal-and-trying-to-be-clever theme the band used with the video, as it simply says the name of the band and the title of the album. I'm just glad their stupidity didn't affect their music.
