I would also toss in there Bailter Space. They are still putting out stuff but their 90s Flying Nun/Matador records are great. More on the abrasive end of the shoegaze spectrum.

Oh and Bowery Electric's "Freedom Fighter" is an amazing song

YES! I totally forgot about Bailter Space. There's also Flying Saucer Attack, but they were sorta more Ambient somewhat with harsh fuzz lol
 
Whoa... Folks were spending 100's on the previous pressing of this but I see this one comes with the instrumentals as well. Hmm...
 
Looks like those are black Tour variants were color iirc. At least mine is

Yeah. There was a Grey with red/maroon splatter "exploding whale" variant and a clear with red and blue splatter 4th of july variant. I believe the black might have been a EU tour variant that came later

Rubber Factory and Thickfreakness were and continue to be the only Black Keys albums I will ever need to own. They are good at crafting music and I understand why they are one of the very few modern guitar rock bands that still garner attention. The more they expanded their sound the less interest I had.
Saw them at a tiny venue during ThickFreakness album tour with maybe 20 people at The Casbah in San Diego after reading about them in Rolling Stone. Next time around it was half full at the same venue. Next time after opening for Beck at San Diego State, a headlining show at The Casbah sold out instantly. Like others I lost interest after Magic Potion. For me Brothers was the end, seems that once bands work with Danger Mouse they become bland AF and lose their raw energy, at least recorded.

I enjoy Attack and Release a lot actually ..but agree, they lost a lil mojo. I saw them live as a 2 man group and then a full band and it def was a lesser experience. A bit on the boring side for sure after that
