Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "Delivered in Auerbach's peerless blues holler and accompanied by a rhythmic thump, these slow-rolling tales of bad moons, black dogs and night fevers achieve a natural-born boogie", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's atmosphere -- brooding, close -- that holds it all together....'Heartbroken, In Disrepair' is expansive psychedelic rock with the kind of reverb-soaked guitar line Johnny Marr might have come up with.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Real Desire' echoes Tommy James and the Shondells' 'Crimson and Clover,' complete with droning bass and billowing organs.", "'Heartbroken, in Disrepair' throbs like ZZ Top on a lo-fi bender....'When I Left the Room' is a slow-burner of barn-burning proportions.", "There are plenty of new song shapes and sound textures here, from the softly strummed opener 'Trouble Weighs a Ton' to the brief din of 'Because I Should' to the Smithsy guitar on 'Heartbroken, in Disrepair.", "Auerbach's Voice Sounds Ancient, Lifted from a Thriftstore 78, His Guitar Moaning like a Ghost.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Auerbach moves flawlessly through all of his favorite frames of reference, from the Kinks-gone-psychedelic riffs of 'Heartbroken, In Disrepair' to the Stooge-rocking swagger of 'Street Walkin'."
