Rating: - Album of the Year...The New White Stripes...
The new Raconteurs album is incredible in its layered simplicity. This is Jack White's new band and the album breaks boundaries while still having a familiar feeling to it. The instrumentation mixes modern and traditional styles in a seamless album. I found the debut album "Broken Boy Soldiers" to be a bit weak, not bad, but not terribly memorable. Pick this album up immediately! You will not be disappointed.
Rating: - Rebirth of the Raconteurs
Consolers of the Lonely was sprung upon the public a mere three weeks after completion in yet another unorthodox indie music release. The Raconteurs successfully avoided any pre-release media hype/promotion, and got their newest album into everyone's hands (in all formats) at the same time.
Although this could be perceived as a rushed album release, the final product sounds anything but rushed. Simply put, Consolers of the Lonely is what The Raconteurs should have released as their first album. Raw and energetic, with ballsy storytelling done in Jack White's bard-like fashion. Rid yourself of any preconceived notions, because if you're expecting a carbon copy of Broken Boy Soldiers, you'll be disappointed.
With Brendan Benson and Jack White at the songwriting helm, The Raconteurs have merged energy and writing styles in a cohesive yet abrasive album. They've taken a softer version of The ... Read More
Rating: - Rock is back!
I knew I would be seeing this band at Lollapalooza so I checked them out beforehand. All I knew was that Jack White was in the band, and I had never been a big fan of the White Stripes, but the collaboration with Brenden Benson (the other main singer) and the other musicians turned out to be a godsend! This album is incredible, I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it nearly a month ago. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who thinks rock is dead.
Rating: - The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely 8.5/10
Indie supergroup the Raconteurs, consisting of Jack White, Brendan Benson, and the Greenhornes' rhythm section, released Consolers of the Lonely a week before its release, doing away with pretty much any pre-release media hype, and the album's raw, bluesy sound reflects this choice.
Unlike their debut, Broken Boy Soldiers, their latest does away with any attempt at musical exploration, with guitarist White cranking the amp to 11 on every song and the rhythm section running a tight ship. The title track is a refreshing blast of guitar freakout and anthemic drum pounding, and single "Salute Your Solution" only continues to up the energy with a funky bass line and White's wild yelping.
Benson's and White's lyrical matchups populate the lyrics with desperate tales of outlaws and love, and the album's energy refuses to flag, switching from New Orleans-style horn riffs to White Stripes-esque stadium ... Read More
