Overview
The Black Keys' Patrick Carney doesn't approve of the posthumous Michael Jackson album Xscape - in fact, he's called it "fucking bullshit".
Xscape was released on May 13, the same day as the Black Keys' new LP Turn Blue, and Carney is extremely sceptical about the nature of its release. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the drummer stormed: "[It's] some fucking bullshit that sucks so bad that it took them three years after he died to make it listenable...Like he had to be dead for three years for it to be released."
Carney then specifically turned his attention to Epic Records boss LA Reid, who helmed the project, saying Xscape has only been released because the record executive "needed a new boat".
