Everything Jack White touches is gold. I have firmly believed that ever since I first discovered him and he hasn’t disappointed me yet. Whether it’s The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs, as a producer or just by himself he continues to make great music. This album is everything you could want from a Jack White album. In the realm of previous things Jack White has done, this is probably closer to a White Stripes sound than anything else. A lot of blues and folk sounds to this album and White does it very well, especially when playing guitar, I’ve always been a huge fan of his guitar playing. I cannot recommend this album highly enough, it’s a must-listen, there isn’t a weak track on it.

I just realized, after falling in love with this album when it came out 6 months ago, that Jack has a giant black bird on his shoulder on the cover. This whole time I though he had his elbow up in the air. But it was just a bird. I like the cover more knowing this (but I do wish this was clearer to me 6 months ago).

This is an above average album. There are few points on this record that surprise me. But overall it is solid. "Love Interruption" and the oscillating, freak out guitar parts of " Weep themselves to all sleep" are incredible stand outs.

An inconsistent listen with some fantastic songs that are let down by some below average tracks that really disrupt the flow of the record. When the music is good it is amazing with some songs being so enjoyable to listen to and their short style means that no song overstays its welcome. This is most effective on Love Interruption and Sixteen Saltines which are also the two best songs on the album for me. Side 1 is the peak of the album with most songs on here being at least good and all of them are catchy and fun. Where the record struggles is the closer you get to the conclusion as it begins to drag and the quality takes a dive. The last 3 songs feel so elongated compared to the rest of the record and could really be cut and the music would be superior. Overall, if there were a few cuts on this album then it would be great but unfortunately it is dragged down by the ending. (Edited)
