• Album of the Year...The New White Stripes...
  The new Raconteurs album is incredible in its layered simplicity. This is Jack White's new band and the album breaks boundaries while still having a familiar feeling to it. The instrumentation mixes modern and traditional styles in a seamless album. I found the debut album "Broken Boy Soldiers" to be a bit weak, not bad, but not terribly memorable. Pick this album up immediately! You will not be disappointed.

• Rebirth of the Raconteurs

This album is incredible, I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it nearly a month ago. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who thinks rock is dead.

• The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely 8.5/10
  Indie supergroup the Raconteurs, consisting of Jack White, Brendan Benson, and the Greenhornes' rhythm section, released Consolers of the Lonely a week before its release, doing away with pretty much any pre-release media hype, and the album's raw, bluesy sound reflects this choice.
  Unlike their debut, Broken Boy Soldiers, their latest does away with any attempt at musical exploration, with guitarist White cranking the amp to 11 on every song and the rhythm section running a tight ship. The title track... more info
