this is the album steve marriott didn’t live long enough to make.it reminds me so much of “ogden’s” that it scares me,but in the best way possible.as of august,it’s the best l.p. of ‘08.come december,it may be in my all time top ten,as i don’t anticipate anyone else making something this fucking awesome.

I’m pushing 50 and I haven’t been out of touch. This is the best stuff I’ve heard in many years. Jack White may be a little odd - but many geniuses are. Brendan’s got a voice as well. Writing and arrangement are what’s blowing me away.

Never heard Raconteurs before but this is definitely the best album I’ve heard so far in ‘08. Superb hooks and bass tracks, variety and great song writing. I’m a convert.

I must say that I have until i listened to this album, hated jack white. This album has not only changed my perspective but has also lead me to believe that the Buzz that has surrounded white will finally be tenable. This album is the best thing he has ever worked on. The raconteurs is the perfect outlet for an artist such as White. However, even more impressive is Bensons performance on the album: flawless and believable -unlike his previous recordings where he just couldn’t seem to keep it together. I believe that this album will in fact be one of my top of 2008.

New Jack White music.
Hmmmm, let me guess… verse;chorus;verse;chorus;brid ge;chorus.
He’s a genius!

I agree, this album is amazing…Radiohead is good…but come on the songwriting the hooks on this album blows Rainblows away. Wake up it’s time for some real music again…with real instruments…enough with the pro-tools, synths, and computers.

Have none of you listened to In Rainbows? I’m by no means a serious fan of Radiohead and In Rainbows is my vote for the best. Jack White gets on my nerves, “Hey! You’re not that cool!”

Best album of ‘08. The Raconteurs really pulled it together here.

Rolling Stone broke the story about the albums expedited release CC.

The best album so far of 2008. ‘Many Shades of Black’ stands out and ‘Carolina Drama’ is one of the best songs in the Raconteurs OR White Stripes arsenal. 4 Stars!

this is the best album I have heard in a while! really interesting and catchy songwriting. It might actually be my favorite album thats been graced by Jack Whites genius!

my favorite album so far this year. An improvment on every level.

Better than their first. not as catchy, but heavier and balladier.

You know Rolling Stone, The Raconteurs album came out Tuesday. Took you long enough.
