Broken Boy Soldiers is still an amazing album. Glad to see them back.

Yeah! He must hate that all the focus is on Jack White.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

I hate how old this makes me feel, but I love the music lol.

 

[ZoSo006]

I didn't really vibe with Jack's newest solo effort but I really like what I hear so far in this group.

I've never even heard of him being in this band so I think I might have to check out their albums as I love me some Jack White tunes.

 

[Mazz]

Veeeery happy about this.

 

[Drain You]

I randomly stumbled upon this while trying to search for a general music thread or something. I enjoy pretty much everything I've heard from Jack White. Specifically Raconteurs I might hold above his other stuff, even White Stripes if I'm gonna be honest. Liked Death Weather too but for other reasons. Gonna listen now.

Also is there a general music thread or is that kinda too just vague of a topic to exist?

 

[Conciliator]

Those seem like pretty good tracks. I really liked the solo record recently.

you know what would make both these songs better though(especially Sunday Driver)...

Spoiler

Meg White

How in the hell did I miss this?!? Literally stumbled across these two songs right before I left work. Fuckin' A'

Consolers of the Lonely is probably my favorite album of all time.

Look forward to it, really hope they do a UK tour.

 

[Haloid1177]

FYI I totally didn't even know this was out now but a friend made me aware. Giving it a listen as I type this.

 

[Ernest]

This is such a good album!

All great songs, not a dud in the bunch, so lean, no fat!!!

 

[Filipus]

Hasn't noticed this was out yet, giving it a listen now.

 

[Khanimus]

It's a fantastic album

 

[Piston]

Listening to this at work right now and really enjoying it. I haven't been checking track titles, so I'm not sure which are my favorites, but I haven't noticed any bad ones yet.

Edit: Thoughts and Prayers is great.

The song "Don't Bother Me" is about Ryan Adams, and it goes after him HARD - which is pretty awesome in light of all the current allegations against him and his bullshit...

Spoiler: song lyrics

Your hidden agenda (don't bother me, bother me)
You ruthless rule bender (don't bother me, bother me)
Your surface duplicity (don't bother me, bother me)
It's all nothing new to me (don't bother me, bother me)
The way you look in the mirror (don't bother me, bother me)
You're your biggest admirer (don't bother me, bother me)
All your clicking and swiping (don't bother me, bother me)
All your groping and griping (don't bother me, bother me)
Yeah!
The lack of your empathy (don't bother me, bother me)
Your "Who me?" fake apologies (don't bother me, bother me)
Your political science (don't bother me, bother me)
Your stupid island alliance (don't bother me, bother me)
Your squatting at my place (don't bother me, bother me)
Your grinning in my face (don't bother me, bother me)
You fake punk jacket liar (don't bother me, bother me)
Easy target, easy tiger (don't bother me, bother me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh!
Your both sides of the old fence (don't bother me)
Your malicious compliance (don't bother me)
The surplus of your apathy
It don't bother me
It's all nothing new to me
It don't bother me
