Lest We Forget – TUTV’s 20 Best Albums Of 2024 – Today: No. 7

Posted on by JL

We’re on our way, slowly but surely, to the end of 2025.
Instead of starting to think about this year’s best LPs,
let’s go back to 2024 and listen to TUTV’s 20 Best Albums
again and look back on what we wrote about each one
of them.

Today: No. 7

Band: THE BLACK KEYS (Ohio, US)
Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums)

Album: OHIO PLAYERS
Their 12th.

TUTV: The star duo made an album with lots of bright pop tunes and some blues light
ones. The licks/riffs and hooks – about a thousand – haven’t that BK’s raw and rough edge as we are used to, but I don’t miss it whatsoever.

The overall sonority leans more towards power guitar pop (slow, mid-tempo and only
a couple of fast ones). I never thought that the tandem would come up after 23 (!) years with a pretty different sounding, coherent longplayer, without ignoring their blues roots that is. I played Ohio Players more than their whole catalog together. Say no more.

Today: No. 13

Band: THE LIBERTINES

Album: ALL QUIET ON THE EASTERN ESPLANADE’.
Their 4th one

Pitchfork said: “The UK’s once-notorious indie rockers settle into the congenial sound of a pretty good band. This album is no Renaissance masterpiece. Stripped of their fraternal bad blood, the Libertines are just a band, and a decent one at that.”

TUTV: After the turmoil, chaos and drugs addictions (especially Doherty) of the early
years, the side-projects, solo records and getting clean and healthy the Libs are back, again. They’re not the boys in the band of yesteryear, they’re now grown-up men who
enjoy a stable life and still are obsessed by making music.

They became notable, experienced musicians who left their hedonistic lifestyle behind themselves for several years now. Not one dull moment, not one dull song on the eastern esplanade.
