"El Camino" three weeks later

When I first listened to The Black Keys' album El Camino, I wrote an "in the moment" review. Now that I've had the album for three+ weeks and have absorbed the tunes a little more, I have the following observations:

• From my first listen, I felt "Gold on the Ceiling" was the best track. While it's still a solid one, I would probably say "Sister" is the best. "Gold on the Ceiling" may be just a little too "commercial" to be lastingly great. "Sister" is just a little more meaty and serious.
• The overall vibe of the album feels like retro soul or something like that. It may be semi-plagiaristic, but not to the degree where you can identify the influences very easily (except that "Last Dance with Marry Jane" guitar piece in the middle of "Little Black Submarines."
• The album was recorded at Dan's Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, and there's a "bigness" to the sound that I find really endearing. It's a rich, full sound that greatly compliments the Keys' sound.
• I find many of the songs pop into my head at random moments, which probably means they are catchy, clever tunes. Brothers was like that to some degree when I first got it, but not like this. El Camino is almost certainly the Keys' catchiest album.

I have been able to not overdose on the album. Maybe it helps that I haven't been in my car a lot since buying the album.
