What does Page have to do with it?

Everything.

These guys got it all going on, tight as hell rhythm section, the best out there. Their sound is huge, not cheesy. Full of good jamming, not gatuitous soloing or pandering to the audio illiterate, it’s a grown up record.
This record will appeal to a wide range of listeners, given the chance.
What does Page have to do with it? If you know anything about them, they share a mutual respect and are good friends.

Yea, I don’t know what all the hype is about. In case you didn’t know, RocknRoll is Dead. DEAD. …well almost.

Drink your coffee and twist your eyes. And suction cup your face to the wall. If you knew anything, then it is that: THE END TIMES are here.

At least we have The Raconteurs to help rock the end of time away.

Hell yea, I’m gonna rip this CD from someone somewhere. iTunes won’t get my money.

Let’s see if White writes one song that is still played 30-40 years from now; THEN can he be compared to Page.

“One of the most creative minds in rock n’ roll.”

Okay, how dumb can you get. Not that people were ever creative in rock n’ roll the first place.

But let me tell you something. The people who think this album are good are the kind of people who’d think this kind of album is good. Do the math. And it’s not a compliment.

I had no idea anyone thought Jack White & Jimmy Page were meant to be mentioned together. Jack’s o.k. whether it’s the Stripes or Raconteurs. Page’s best work is in the past, so let Jack White see if he can measure up to it.

Jack, repeat after me:

I’m not Jimmy Page
I’m not Jimmy Page
I’m not Jimmy Page
I’m not Jimmy Page

I got it. Definitely better than the first one. The title track (the opening track) is awesome.

I give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

danny, i know but i hear the guy that toured with them was gonna record for this album…not sure but either way its awesome

Yo ‘Consoler’,
the keys player is benson….and white plays synth
they both switch off on keys and stuff

One of the lucky ones aswell, great album, it’s an absolute must have.

what’s “escellent”? Some sort of lettuce?

You can still get it search Raconteurs on iTunes and click “all songs buy this artist” and you can download each of the songs….

listening to it now!

have lit…listened to it…its definitely drug-fueled..defnitely awesome….takes broken boy soldiers to a new level….still need to digest, but very happy w. my early listens…newpiano/krys player is escellent

I was among the lucky ones to browse on itunes and see ‘Consolers’ there early this morning and bought it, but am still going to purchase the CD format. Listened to the forthcoming single “Salute Your Solution” and I think out of the first few tracks, the first number “Consoler of the Lonely” would be a much better first single choice. ‘Salute’ has very vocal likeness to Sting of The Police. I am still very fond of ‘Broken Boy Soldiers’ and this new album may need to grow on me for a little while (a few days). The White/Benson collaboration is working nicely for my ears and wish that the Rac’s come to the East (NY,Philly,NJ area) for their tour and not just West and Southern dates. Much luck to the Rac’s!!

The 30 second previews are still available if you go to the Raconteurs page and click on “See all songs by this artist” but the album doesn’t show up anywhere else.

Sure sounds good from those preview clips though… this is going to be a great album.

“go listen to ronnie james dio”

Hear, hear!

THEY ROCK… SAW THEM TWICE AND HAD A BLAST…GREAT BAND!
….BUT I SAW JACK AND HIS SIST AND THEY ROCKED THE STAGE BIG TIME!! WHAT A SHOW!!!

I like Jack!!!!

Wonderful!! Raconteurs are a awesome band and Jack White can do no wrong!!!

How can you say they are horrible? One of the most creative minds in rock and roll back by a awesome vocals and a truely american sound. They have a great live show and change it up nightly. Can’t wait to buy the vinyl on Tuesday. Bukowski stop getting you music from PBS and go out and see a show?

I would definatly give this a chance, Jack White and Brendan Benson rocked on the last album and live shows are always worth seeing. They put on tremendous shows so go see them!

go listen to ronnie james dio

Who cares? A, they suck and B, download the whole thing for like $2.

I saw a live concert of theirs on PBS. They were absolutely horrible. If that’s what this band serves up on a regular basis, they need to give it up. Seriously.

damn. I tried to purchase it but it’s no longer available. The thirty second clips of the tracks sounded really good though.

When you try to buy it, it says it’s no longer available
