The Black Keys, "El Camino"

Way to sneak in under the deadline, boys. It may be just a few days old, but "El Camino" is proof-positive that with the right producer (Danger Mouse) and the right instincts to just get back to the "roots," you can go from White Stripes wannabes to beholders of the best classic rock album of the year. --Jessica Galliart <br> As a huge fan of the whole "The"-bands era of the early 2000s (The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives, The Vines, etc.), I couldn't be more thrilled that The Black Keys are bringing real live rock &#8216;n' roll back. One of my biggest regrets of 2011 is that this album didn't come out sooner, but I'm so ready to rock into 2012. --Dana Moran
