YES!

Could be interesting, could be bad.

Nice to see they are not standing still and doing new styles of stuff.

[parakitaMol.]

I think I'll like it... judging from the vid teasers...

I like people who experiment with a mix of genres - eg Handsome Boy Modelling School & stuff like that...

[HeavySoul]

I would be interested to hear the stuff they did with Ike Turner before he died too.

Am still waiting for Patrick's new band to release some material too.

Everyday's a schoolday - never knew they'd worked with him!

That is how they initially started to work with Dangermouse as a producer, they decided after doing the Ike album together that he should produce one of their own albums which became Attack & Release.

I really liked Rubber Factory, but have never really got away with Attack & Release for some reason.

The stuff on the site sounds awesome though - shall be pre-ordering that for sure!

Video is great.
Really nice sounding material from the band, really cool looking studio.
MosDef arrives, then the list of really good rappers just grows and grows.

Will definitely be picking this one up.

Previews are available ahead of next week's release...Hmmmm...Not sure.

There are about 3 or 4 tracks I know I will love.

The rest might be a little bit too heavy gangsta rap style for me.

It is actually a pretty good album to be honest.

It is not all 'money and bhes' and has some proper rapping on it instead.

There are a good couple of tracks that really get under your skin too which is nice.

Overall I would say good on The Keys for trying something quite different without it being really bad. Of course if you are not a fan of rap/hip hop beforehand then you might not like it as much

I'd echo this - Just got it today and have had it on play virtually all day.

It's proper rap, but with great music behind it. I'm not a massive fan of rap music, but this is great!

It's really grown on me - although I'm still not keen on the first couple of tracks - here's the full length version of Hoochie Coo - better than the trailer suggested.

Their new album "Brothers" is really good too - well worth a listen.
