One Of The Better Rock Cd's Of 2008
I love this cd for only a couple of songs, but these songs got so deep under my skin I cant go a day without listening to them,
Many Shades Of Black-Very atmospheric song the horns add great texture to the song, it's an instant classic. Jack White Is one of the greatest guitarists out right now, and he'll be in the rock hall of fame sooner or later and Brendan's voice flowed very nicely over the music suiting it very well.

You Dont Understand Me-Smooth,relaxing, love the piano!

Five On The Five-It's hard not to love this song it's hyperactive, how
can one person have so much talent Jack White? This guy can wail on the guitar and his pipes fit songs like they were tailored.

Hold Up-A fun party song, sounds like a night out with the boys.

Pull This Blanket Off-Love It!

Buy This CD it's great!

cant stop listening
the more i hear this cd the more i like it. great songs.

The Raconteurs. Consoler of the Lonely
Greta cd, with great songs, great musicians, one of the freshest cd's I've heard in a long long time, I definitely think that Jack White III is one of the few geniuses of the actual American music.
The structure of the songs is also very appealing!
A 10!

a sensational straight-ahead killer rock album
I'm on my 10th-12th listen of this album and it is really one of the best rock albums I've heard this decade. It brings back so much of what was so excellent about late 70's rock (though, it by no means has a 70's feel)...so then what do I mean? I think it is the resulting beauty of the straight-forward but thoughtful lyrics, the tempo changes within songs, the crunchy delicious guitars, and the delight in having two lead singers take on different songs. It is extremely well-produced and an absolute pleasure to listen to. It's never pretentious and seems rahter devoid of ego. I always feel good listening to it and love the "stories". I am so proud of this work and am glad someone finally took this sort of thing on. It will forever remain in my collection and always bring a smile to face. Fantastic.

Just Not That Good
I liked the Raconteurs first album and I find this one to be vastly inferior. The songs to me are just not well written and are not pleasing to listen to. There is something that is "off" to my ears in almost every song. I would recommend not buying this album and simply enjoying their first album, which is great.
