Blunderbuss

Saw Jack White headline a festival a few years ago - was a surprisingly good show, much better than I was expecting. Debut album is a blast - superb guitar work (and sonically fantastic, love that tone he gets). Not all the songs hit the mark but a winner overall.

Already a fav.

Liked it over all - Would listen again. Drums sound off in "Freedom at 21"

He's ok, but i don't dig

It sounds like someone who isn't sure if they are in the 60s, 70s or 80s, and so is trying to interpret them all at once.

I enjoyed this without feeling that I’ll return to it. One or two might find their way onto a streaming playlist - Love Interruption, Weep Themselves To Sleep - but it feels like someone flipping through musical styles with varying degrees of success. If I want to hear rockabilly, riff rock or country blues there are other places I’d go first. That said, you have to admire the way he can turn his hand to anything he likes and the willingness to experiment. It means it’s rarely dull, but the overall impression is Jack of All trades, master of none ⭐️⭐️👍🏼

Blunderbuss It’s funny looking back at the White Blood Cells and Elephant era. I loved those albums and went back and bought their first two albums which I also enjoyed immensely. They all still hold up. But I lost interest from Get Behind Me Satan onwards and have never felt much inclination to listen to any of Jack Whites solo albums or other projects and I don’t really know why. Some good songs and some good moments on a lot of songs. I like the fiddle and lap steel country blues touches throughout. Freedom 21, On and On and On and Take Me With You When You Go are the real standouts for me A good solid listen but aside from those three songs I’m not sure if I’ll think to come back to it and listen through again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Inspiration for Yuno Miles

Ok but didn't blow me away. Better stuff out there including stuff by Jack White.

You got me noiivus. This is the type of album that's catnip to the audience of this website apparently... never seen so many 5 star reviews on the "top" section of the reviews. I liked the White Stripes album that I got previously more than I thought I would, so I went into this album with a slightly more open mind. I feel like the songs are crafted well enough, they're just not doing anything interesting to me, at all. If this was not "The First Solo Album by Jack White" there is no way we'd be talking about it now. Two Starz

Heard before Saved 11/13 Top track: Sixteen Saltines

Solid indie-ish album from the White Stripes frontman. Not a single bad song. Creatively blends neighboring genres.

Never heard of Jack White or his previous band before....enjoyed this album. Good morning listen.

Still feels pretty White Stripey - but with more of a roots rock focus. Back up girl singers, lots of clangy pianos. A fun listen on a Saturday night.

Meh

Took a while but I finally got another album I'd heard before. I think it's only been 2 now, which is honestly amazing. Anyway, this was better than I remembered it being, and I remembered it being very good. It really feels like a White Stripes album if their sound was bigger. Maybe that's what he was going for, maybe that's a product of it being released just a year after the band officially broke. Regardless, it's really cool to hear what he could do with a bigger production. The sound of this album is unmistakably Jack White. Gritty, flashy, clever riffs, his signature snarl and sarcasm with a little bit of tongue in cheek humor. He's great at what he does and always has been. I do think his stuff with collaborators is ultimately better (White Stripes and The Raconteurs, namely), but he still produces quality stuff by himself. I do think it goes on a little long, though. There are some songs that could've either been saved for another album, or else cut entirely and released as B-sides. It's definitely top heavy too, with the first half being better than the second. Maybe this was a George Harrison "All Things Must Pass" situation where he dumped a lot of the stuff he'd been working on that wasn't fit for the White Stripes onto here once he had the freedom. I dunno. Anyway, 4 stars. Standout tracks: Missing Pieces, Sixteen Saltines, Freedom at 21, Love Interruption, Hypocritical Kiss, Weep Themselves to Sleep, I'm Shakin', Trash Tongue Talker

For this list I've reviewed two albums from Jack White's band The White Stripes, and I generally like White's work. I've heard a few tracks from Jack's other work, including (I think) the title track from Blunderbuss and "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy". I liked both of those tracks and "I'm Shakin'" and "Love Interruption". I liked the link back to old gospel in "Love Interruption" and links to blues on this album. There wasn't anything I didn't like, and I could come back for a second listen.

Fuck Yeah! Justo venia escuchando a Jack estos días. Un álbum bastante rockero y con las sonoridades extrañas que le dan su toque indiscutible. Uno de los mejores dentro de su discografía.

Caterincă Nu știu dacă l-aș asculta de prea multe ori, dar interesant

Enjoyed this quite a lot, can't remember specifics now since I listened yesterday

Apparently I prefer Jack with Meg

Previously rated: The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan (4/5) *************************************************** I guess I'm a Jack White fan now. I listened to this twice. Great organ/piano playing, drums, a variety of genres. The only thing holding it back for me, and just a bit, is the vocals, especially the distortion. But when he has backup singers singing too, it sounds good. I loved the final track, Take Me With You When You Go. Also enjoyed I'm Shakin' and Hip Poor Boy, but the whole album is pretty solid, maybe a 5/5 if I listen some more.

its nice

Awful. Just a mess of his other projects without an inspired song to be found

First, thanks to Pawn Stars for knowing what a blunderbuss is/was. My first time listening to Jack White outside a couple White Stripes songs and this may be my surprise listen of 2024. I was very impressed with the variety of sounds and styles off the album. Guitar rock, blues, some country rock and the heavy piano thrown in there halfway through was unexpected, but surprise highlight for me. I really enjoyed this album from beginning to end. I will definitely revisit this album and will be checking more out this guy's stuff. It was fun listening at work, it was fun listening when working out and I can't wait to listen when it's warm enough to sit on the back deck, baking down and watching the sun settle into the night. A few of my favorites, Sixteen Saltines, Missing Pieces, Trash Tongue Talker and I'm Shakin. Again, I really enjoyed most of the album and will be downloading a good portion. Shout out to Emily who has stated she thought I would enjoy this guy if I gave a listen. I listened and I enjoyed very much. 4

3.5 Historically, my opinion of Jack White’s music has been that it’s good, but not great, and this album didn’t do much to change that. Admittedly, it did grow on me the more that I listened to it, and looking back now, I would say that I enjoyed most of the individual songs (especially with how diverse they were in sound and style), but still, I don’t think there’s any one moment here I would go as far as to call great. It gets close - Love Interruption is a really solid track with a catchy, twisted charm to it, Sixteen Saltines is a fun blast of punk rock energy paired with goofy lyrics, Hypocritical Kiss is an impassioned (and likely autobiographical) ballad about an ex-lover with bitter spark to it, and hell, there’s probably a good handful of other songs I could point to as having specific enjoyable qualities to them as well if I tried, but ultimately, there just isn’t anything here I would refer to as particularly unique or groundbreaking. That’s not to say that I think every album needs to break some sort of mold in order to be highly regarded, I totally get that some stuff just makes for good comfort food listening, but as far as that kind of thing goes for me, I just wouldn’t call Jack White a comfort food artist. If anything, I would call his music perhaps a bit self-indulgent - despite coming off mostly as mid-to-decent, I can’t help but get a pretentious vibe from the dude, like he seems to think he’s more of a musical mastermind and deeper than he really is. I definitely enjoyed my time with this album and would go as far as to say that I could see myself re-listening to it - or at least partially - but it also didn't really do a ton to expand my appreciation of Jack White or alternative rock as a whole. For what’s it worth, I’ll give it credit for this - the riff to I’m Shakin’ has been stuck in my head ever since I first heard it, though I still haven’t determined if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

A few solid bangers here, but the drumming is so basic and uninteresting.

Disappointed. Most was pretty bad and normally expect a lot. Was excited to have a jack white album and got let down.

Musically, this is pretty good. But I’m not a fan of Jack White’s singing voice. It seems like a cross between Cheech Marin on “Earache My Eye” and the guy from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Which is not (IMHO) a good thing. But again, musically it it good. The songwriting is solid, the sound is good, nice variations in instrumentation and tone. There’s a lot of very nice piano scattered around. As the album progresses, I’m floating around between 3 and 4. But the further this goes the more I lean 4. Definitely will need to listen again. 4/5

Well put together. Jack really shows off his ability to write and produce amazing music.

Leuk!!

This album was better than I was expecting, but I still seem to like the rawness of The White Stripes more than Jack White on his own.

Fine musically. Not so good vocally.

The weird indie that I love. I learned Jack White is from Michigan - always love some Midwest representation!

It's not unpleasant but I find it unremarkable. It's really in the top 1001? Really? I feel like in 10 more years this will fall out.

Strong opening (tracks 1 to 7), drops off in the middle (8 to 11) and a nice close out (12 & 13). When it’s good it’s absolutely brilliant - all energy and craziness, and some thoughtful storytelling. I love the mix of instruments on here and a great guest appearance by Karen Elson. A low 4. Prefer his work as ‘The Raconteurs’, especially ‘Help Us Stranger’…one of my favourite albums of the last 10 years.

It's better than I thought it would be when taking into account the Wiki write-up. Not as one dimensional as The White Stripes. I thought it had a bit of depth and variation to the songwriting. A high 2

Just alright. Talented musically, but the whinny vocals never worked for me.

Love Jack White!

this was pretty average 21st century rock stuff it was good and i liked it but i dont think i could really see myself listening to it again any time soon i think expectations were high also because i do love some white stripes stuff and there wasnt anything on here that was close to that apart from sixteen saltines which as i am typing it out thinking what is a saltine and why are there sixteen of them but yeah it was good but nothing special

Very solid.

This list of albums was made by someone with a particular taste in music.

I realize that the guy is somewhat of a musical genius. And he was really cool on a few episodes of American Pickers that I saw but this album just doesn’t do it for me.

Pretty solid

As i guitarist its fun to listen to popy guitar based music, and see it work And this works. I liked it 3.5

Obviously heard of Jack white and had already received his white stripes album here, it was nice expecting same vibe here. Fuck I just saw the crow in the cover, even better it became. First song, judge me all you want, I like this kind of songs, it's full and it's almost rapping. Only thing I don't find really fun is this guitar riffs(not sure about the name) it's fine just sometimes overused. I like the instrumental break. Outro is without any beat or instrument, but he sings a little, at the very end guitar comes and goes quickly. I'd say with my new grading system, 8.8/10. Second song, yes this is "noise" for some, but I low key like this, rock isn't even my favourite genre, but this kinda songs are just differently good, especially with jack. It was a short, but outro was quite good and full. Not better than the first one so 8.4/10 Third song, I like his fast singing. Guitar is always good here. I want his voice more tho. There is this adlib like thing he does when he starts the verse, which I love. Progressive and weird instrumental break. He sings then smth else sings back in (). Not better than the last one so 8.1/10, still the vibe was great. Fourth song, it's slow for now, but I hear progressing guitar. Songs are mostly about love, I think. It's slightly bad without the fullness that songs before had, but still doing it's job. I was wrong about the progressiveness, it is slightly doing that, however, not exactly. There was a woman voice joined, kinda unique, but not from jack. 7.6/10. 5th song, this one's slower. I'd call this one "noise" it's too basic. Thing is first two songs had this vibe that is good in every song, while to me slow ones need some more work to be considered well. I like the outro instrumental, ruined by his vocals sadly. 7.4/10. 6th song, I like the name tbh. Apparently there is two POVs here, funn. Noone knows who the song is about. Smn said to read the verses vice versa, and they make sense that way more. I loved the concept of this song, soo I guess 8/10 for that, plus it wasn't annoyingly slow. 7th song, fast start, with them instruments. Apparently this song is about how free Jay z and Kanye are at expressing themselves, which jack lacks of. I mean it's 2012 and I'm not surprised though I dunno what made him write this song exactly. I like the piano before the lyrics start. The guitar screeching started. Mm not bad, 7.8/10, not unique or catchy enough. 8th song, he's louder here, especially in the headphones. The choir and the clapping is amazing here, plus now the guitar and this thing in my right ear beating. Woow that instrumental break at exactly half time passed. Oh the woman sang a little, these choir really ate with the coming ins. This was energetic and different, 8.9/10. 9th song, such a nice start, his singing not so much. Piano is magnificent. It's very classical rock vibed. Oh I love the instrumental break at 1:12, the fast piano is giving Chuck Berry. It came back, I really love itt. It got harder at the end. This was solid 8.5/10. 10th song, was slow now it's half full. Liking the instrument in my right ear, piano in the middle too. His voice is much better here, less scratched. He talks fast here, best thing he does on this album. Piano got faster in the background(or not). Quite easy listening, I'd say 8.3/10. 11th song, loving the start with the piano, it ended now it's just beats, and he started singing, I don't like it anymore. He sings too boringly sometimes, even though there is another guy singing same in my right ear with him. Now only he's singing, lasted short. Piano solo, messy one. Telling me to sleep, how considerate. 7.3/10, I wanted more. 12th song, long intro seems worth it, it's slowly using all the instruments. Satisfyingly slow it is. Background voiced he sings the chorus. Very relaxing, nothing is happening, not complaining though. His voice changed, and woman is joined in. Pause, Guitar slowly existing and he also slowly comes in, the beat came in, piano in the left, I was expecting smth apparently nothing, oh nevermindd it got low key hard at the end. It was better than the last one so 7.6/10. 13th song, Papa's pizzeria soundtrack like start tbh, I love it. This is one of the best because of that beat, oh it changed to jazzy one. It's so chill too. Such long instrumental break. Piano in the left ear, some instrument in my right ear, and electric guitar? His vocals have changed, old beat is gone. Women voice came now. Sounds like a totally different song. There was two songs here I think. Outro is progressive, fast and interesting plus both of their voices in sync, perfect ending I suppose. 9.1/10 definitely, because of the concept. Quite nice soundss I've heard today. This was not as different from other rock albums, but it had differentness and wasn't just annoying uninteresting noise. Basically 4 stars, I didn't expect any more or less.

Ok album with some good songs.

This was great, thought I knew JW but really lively throughout 4/5

This is a strong offering from Jack White, the classic White Stripes sound is still there, but this album is a bit more experimental with progressive folk, blues, and country rock. There's some tracks which come off really well and others which are a little forgettable. As always though Jack White has some incredible guitar tone and riffs.

Some pieces aren’t bad especially love interruption but not really my style anymore.

Not my favorite Jack White album, there are some good songs on here.

Großartig Alternative Rock Album

Not so bad.

interesting tunes, don't think his voice performs well here and missing the energy of White Stripes. It's strange, his blues style voice should go really well with the softer piano but just not overly feeling it. 2.8

Estuvo bien. Me gustó la canción de 'Poor Boy'

Not as fun as The White Stripes, but this was still pretty good.

As a huge Jack White fan, I was excited to see this album on this list. Blunderbuss is a great solo debut, capturing the many reasons of what makes Jack White one of greats of his time: killer guitar tone, old school feels, thoughtful lyrics. Some magic is missing from this album, especially when comparing it to Jack White’s work with the White Stripes and Raconteurs. Overall, 4/5. Favorite track: Take me with you when you go

Decent. Giving me billy Joel vibes. Would maybe give another listen when I'm paying attention more.

- Only ever listened to White Stripes albums, not any of his solo ones before - Enjoyed it, a couple of really good tracks on this - However, not sure this necessarily fits this list? It's good but not certain that it's 100% essential listening - Fav songs: Freedom at 21, Take Me with You When You Go, Weep Themselves to Sleep

The best solo Jack White album still isn’t as good as the worst White Stripes Album.

3.5 For me this is a case of a sum is bigger than its parts. Collection of good songs, the quality doesn't really drop off, and were original compared to each other. If I listened to it a dozen more time, the rating would probably improve

Enjoyed it! Final track was as the standout to me.

If I had first listened to this back when I was more into The White Stripes I feel like I would have felt it was a step down without any standout tracks. But with a bit of distance from that I found the album was quite solid, there wasn't a song that wasn't interesting and enjoyable.

Jack has all sorts of projects out there. He keeps rock alive.

Amazing debut solo album. It stands apart from the White Stripes, but had the same flavor. It's only fault it's being outshined by Lazaretto. I haven't really revisited this album since then. It has held up and is still a neat perfect album in my opinion.

Not too bad, a bit middle of the road but listenable

It is a great album.

Im Stil der 70 Rock Klassiker, erinnert an Led Zeppelin und Supertramp

Love all things Jack White and love this album. Really diverse set of songs, ranging from a more garage rock sound that we know and love from The White Stripes to more country inspired tracks. Lots of really catchy melodies all over the record. I think I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 so that I have room for higher ratings on my more preferred Jack White projects/albums

Talented musician, but not my style.

ganz ok aber die früheren White Stripes sachen sind einfach geiler

Not really my cup of tea

pretty nice album, nothing that stands out too much

Unfortunately, an average album by Jack White. Few great solos and weird an original guitar riffs, but otherwise it just sounds like a pop and boring version of his band. Disappointing.

I love how experimental and in your face all of his music is.

Album really shows of Jack's musical prowess beyond the simple catchy White Stripes era.

I was surprised it was as good as it was. Some really great tracks.

Mostly know him from White Stripes. Crazy range between their sound, his personal sound, and Six Inch Heels on Lemonade.

Crystal clear production. Sometimes the harmonizing was a little grating for me. The guitar and specifically steel guitar was excellent. I felt like I was in 1850 antebellum south in a good way. Solid 3.

Fine album, right down the middle of the road

Muy buena música , gran variedad de notas que se complementan muy bien con su voz.

Jack White feels compelled in his songwriting skills to claim a record as his own. The style has his heavy blues vocal play and groove, garage-style lo-fi production, but with a more polished accessible sound with cleaner mixing and other tools like the gospel choir in "I'm Shakin". It's characterized by a remarkable run of strong tracks on the first half, followed by a less impressive but still admirable second side. Feels like a fuller, varied, over-produced White Stripes album with less memorable hits. Favorites: Sixteen Saltines, Freedom at 21, Hypocritical Kiss

One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite artists.

Yes

Wild, rocking, thrilling. Jack White carries such an eclectic energy with him in every release he’s a part of. Not an every day listen, but very entertaining and a great live performer.

Wasn't digging some of it. Seems like good road trip/background music, but not something I would focus on. 3.5/5

Just can’t stand his voice.

I expected to like this more, but it was still a good listen.i liked the backend of this album more than the front, with Weep Themselves to Sleep and On and On and On.

I’ve never really delved into Jack White and I don’t know why. He’s really good. This music makes me feel like there’s an army of history and influences behind it.

Great music with a variety of styles, the only drawback here is that Jack's voice kind of wears on me as this goes on.

Overrated

Abwechslungsreicher als erwartet

I like the White Stripes, and I REALLY like The Raconteurs, byr I'd never heard this album before. Needless to say, I liked it. There is no real standout track, but it's solid JackWhiteMusic from start to finish. Good album.

I liked this a lot more than when it was originally released. A pleasant surprise.

Not my go to, but not bad rock. I'd listen again.

Didn't know the White Stripes guy went solo. The more you know!

Good cronch. Made me want to listen to some Cage the Elephant after.

Not a huge fan.

I loved this! It made me want to see Jack White live and listen to more of his music. What a talent

Still don't really care for Jack's voice or words

I prefer his latter 2 albums

I never really "got" the White Stripes, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Very nice

I wouldn’t have played this on my own, thinking it wouldn’t be my type of music, but they actually liked it more than I thought I would.

I'm a Jack White fan for the most part, but there's nothing here that he hasn't improved upon in his later albums.

Fun and groovy but not really sure it deserves a place on this list. loved the first track.

Love interruption was pretty good

Nice and upbeat

Love it when an album I already know shows up. Jack White is the exact right mix of real weird and insanely talented.

For blue days

Jack White is such a special dude. I feel like I enjoy everything he has ever released. So in touch with his instrumentation, finding a collection of experimental sounds that all work together to create his signature style. I am especially excited about how well the keyboards and guitars interact throughout the album, and as always, the different levels of guitar distortion used throughout the album. This is an album I always have in my library and really enjoy listening time and time again. Less sensational than some of the White Stripes catalogue, but a high-quality release nonetheless. 4.5/5, rounded up. Fave tracks: Sixteen Saltines, Freedom At 21, Love Interruption, I'm Shakin'

Definitely my favourite (solo) Jack White album. Teeters the line between folk and blues rock really well with a bit his signature garage-y twist. Really showcases Jack White's varied musical influences and his strong abilities. Fav Tracks: Sixteen Saltines, Love Interruption, I'm Shakin'

Ratings: 5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background

I’m genuinely thankful for the contributions that Jack White has made to rock music. I love just about everything he puts his hands on. Fun to revisit this album. Enjoyed it multiple times over the weekend. I’m not sure I can fully distinguish it from what he does with The White Stripes other than having more instrumentation. But maybe that’s what you need to do when your claim to fame is a two-piece. Loved the electric piano on this album. Solid through and through.

Na ja.

Very good. Blues. Rock. Great guitar riffs.

You have to hand it to Jack. What he lacks in musical substance his stylist makes up for with nifty hats. He is certainly a virtuoso of affectation. It’s always funny reading critics pretending the emperor has clothes lest they insult the kiddeos for their McMusic. Case in point, Love Interruption isn’t a mediocre Son of a Preacher Man rip-off. Nope, it’s a bluesy blues ballad that is gospel-infused Americana and country soul. Like George Carlin warned, “It's the same with ‘buttery’ and ‘lemony’ and ‘chocolatey.’ ‘Real chocolatey goodness.’ You know what that means? No fucking chocolate!” You know what, “bluesy” means? No fucking blues. Along with no gospel…no Americana…no country…and no soul. Jack might be able to passably parrot Robert Plant’s vocal style on a few tunes but his chops on guitar are laughably overrated. It’s one thing to mimic vocals and quite another to bend strings in a way that stands the test of time. I kept waiting for the guitar wunderkind to show up. I’m still waiting.

This is my first exposure to Jack White and am so impressed. Love the variety of styles- swing, jazz, rock,folk. Such talent!

its cool, theres some unique songs but nothing for the playlist

Good Jack White album before he ventured into the overly "weird" side.

I tried listening at 7am and didn’t like it. I had to be okay with Jack melting my face off and I just wasn’t ready to surrender. Whether it’s the mind scrambling guitar solo in Freedom At 21, your ears falling off in missing pieces, or the knife twisting genty in Love Interruption, Jack knows how to alter your state of mind towards the introspective with his musical and lyrical prowess. I feel like this man had a love that shredded him to his foundational components. Almost like he was shot with a Blunderbuss. Ah, this 2012 album makes sense now: In June 2011, White and his wife Karen Elson, who provided backing vocals for Blunderbuss,[8] announced their intention to divorce and subsequently held a divorce party. I mean, good for them. She’s got great backing vocals.

I'm a melodic, vocal line girly so of course my fav so far is love interruption. I like the piano licks on Weep Themselves to Sleep. Very groovy. Second listen through, enjoyed it more and appreciated lyrics more. Problem is a lot of albums really need more than one listen (not kraftwerk tho). Liked hypocritical kiss and the silliness of I'm shakin'

Such a well curated album. Not my typical listen, but great nonetheless.

Bring back the White Stripes pls

I tried... the album didn't peak any interest. I'm shakin' was the best song to me. Just some safe background music.

I respect the music and I respect the vocals, but there was nothing catchy enough to bring me back to want to hear it again. It's almost like music for a movie soundtrack. You hear it but you don't care.

I got bored and couldn’t finish it. Nothing about it was super compelling to me

An enjoyable pop album

Great, love this

Love this album! Notable tracks: Sixteen Saltines I'm Shakin'

not what i expected, but okay

Absolutely timeless album. It was totally new to me, and it could have released in '92 or '02 and I wouldn't have known the difference. Top of my "to buy" vinyl list.

Pretty good. My first foray into Jack White's solo work. It definitely grew on me, but I can't say it's my favorite thing ever.

YAAAAASSSS.

It’s ok. I think the tone of the white stripes better suits his voice

I dont remembr any of it

Again, not my kind of jams

Meh. Kind of annoying.

Feel like this is one of those albums that would be better live. Definitely one of the better rockish albums of the 2000s. This was my first Jack White album I’ve listened to fully and I was pleasantly surprised. It does seem to drift off in the second half for me though.

Not my 'cup o tea'.

I've never given Jack White a fair chance, and have never really listened to the White Stripes outside of the hits. While this album doesn't feel evergreen to me, there's a few songs on here I can see myself coming back to. It's a fun project, and I'm definitely interested in exploring more of his/White Stripes as a whole.

Fun rock. Nice variation through the album, from prog-ish to just groovy

This was a really great blues rock album from Jack White. I already had an album from The White Stripes and that was pretty good as well, but I honestly think this was way better. I enjoyed almost every tracks and will definitely listen to it again. I highly recommend this album, especially for fans of rock music! Favorite Song(s): "Missing Pieces", "Sixteen Saltines", "Freedom at 21", "Love Interruption", "Blunderbuss"

This is one of those albums that is just so incredibly well rounded I don't see how anyone could genuinely dislike it. Jack White is the master of his own style and blends so much shit so goddamn well. It feels more like a proof of talent for White rather than something a little more thematically focused like he had done with the Stripes. Nonetheless, it's still really incredible and is definitely added to my purchase list. Highlights for me here are Sixteen Saltines, Blunderbuss, Weep Themselves to Sleep, I'm Shakin', and Take Me With You When You Go.

Good album

I enjoyed, pretty badass songs that sounded like they could be used in epic movie montages, great songs for gaming.

Hate the first song, the rest of the album is okay

i think i prefer his work with the white stripes, but still great. the album starts much stronger than it ends (or maybe i enjoy these alone rather than a whole albums worth in a go). songs like sixteen saltines are very nice, i like his more rhythmic singing in it combined with great riffs.

I always love when artists try to expand/branch out from what they’re most popular for even if it means losing some of that popularity. This won’t be remembered the same way that elephant is but it’s just as worthy of recognition in its own way even if I personally liked white stripes music slightly more. Jack took some of his white stripes sounds and made it funky and bluesy which I think worked really well. I’m shakin was probably my favorite track and sixteen saltines was also a standout.

Not my cup of tea!

It's not the typical kind of music I listen to - I would not listen to it again.

Jack White’s first album after the break up of the White Stripes continues his unique brand of Detroit garage and DIY rock. Sonically this album runs the gamut from overdriven and fuzzy guitars, organs, and some slide guitar. Once again White shows that he is not only familiar with music history, he is capable of folding his influences into his signature style. While this album isn’t as good as the best of the White Stripes, it still holds its own against his recorded output.

Tried to listen without prejudice, but it's hard. His voice is horrible and he seems like the worst guitar hipster in the world. At least this album has some bass on it. Still not for me.

Love the Blues and rock baseline for this album and after that, how experimental and complex some songs can get.

I waffled back and forth between a 3-star and a 4-star rating for this one. And I'm still not sure if I chose correctly. On the one hand, Jack White's weirdness is really off-putting at times. But, on the other hand, the grooves and production are just SO GOOD. Like... insanely good. I don't know how to feel about the album as a whole. But... I think I really liked it. Mostly. I think.

3.5

Song: Sixteen Saltines I'm kind of conflicted. I didn't hate the song, but the "wall of sound" was unexpected and a little overwhelming. However, I really did like the guitar work and the bluesy, funky flavor. Overall, it was kind of reminiscent of a White Stripes song, and I do like the White Stripes, too. I don't think I'd skip this song if it came on, but I also wouldn't seek it out again.

Erster Eindruck: gar nicht übel. Irgendwie interessanter als White Stripes Alben. Vielleicht. Kenne kaum welche. Es läuft jedenfalls immer noch, das ist doch schon mal was. Ja, aber bis zum Ende muss ich das nicht hören. Höre aber bestimmt nochmal rein.

This book has an obsession with Jack White and whatever he does musically. This is one of three albums with Jack White on them that appear on this list and I had fairly low expectations for this one. I must admit, it was not too bad though. I had never heard Jack White's solo stuff and this is interesting, but probably not entirely notable in my opinion. Like I feel about other artists, I'm not sure what he's doing here that is so different from what he does with the White Stripes or separates him from other artists.

Iconic, love this album!!

* Sixteen Saltines - this is a fucking BOP let's go!!! I actually added a ton of these songs to my Liked Songs playlist so that alone shows me I really enjoyed this album. Must be a Detroit thing. :)

Missing Pieces: What a fun little doodly riff. Makes me nostalgic for 2012/2013. Jack ain't the best singer though haha. Sixteen Saltines: it got that riffs. Freedom at 21: The drums are so fucking cool and the little riff. Chef's Kiss. Love Interruption: Now this is a duet, love this shit. Blunderbuss: Now this is a little more folksy. I don't LOVE it but it's good. Nice little piano. Hypocritical Kiss: The ending is lovely with the piano. Bluesy af. Weep Themselves To Sleep: The ascending piano part is so cool. The piano in this song is so good. Jack's not perfect singing is kind of charming and fits. That little guitar solo is neat as heck. I'm Shakin': This sounds like a children's song all blues up haha. Love it. Trash Tongue Talker: BLUESSSSS, more awesome piano, the reverbed voice fits well. Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy: I don't love this track. Just doesn't hit for me for some reason. Eh. I Guess I Should Go To Sleep: This one doesn't really hit me either. More of a country feel. The piano breaks are cool though. On And On And On: I love the bass in this one. Just so groovy. Take Me With You When You Go: This definitely gives me Dave Brubeck vibes, but I'm here for it. Oh fuck, riff time! This shit is so good. Great closer.

Holds up pretty well, but not Jack’s best. 3.5/5

Solo jack white is great. Was suprised at how much I liked some songs. Deserves a 4

I dunno. I just don’t connect with his music. I liked aspects of many of the songs, but they didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. 2.8

Interesting. Different music styles -- hard rock/country/blues/roots. I like the music but it's too broad. Feels showy and self-indulgent at times. Not a fan of Jack White (esp his vocals) but it's a good album overall. Would probably get into it after a few listens. 3.8

6.5/10

Jack Shite

Dunno why this is on the list. Nothing spectacular about this

Love this album start to finish, already on my full album listening rota. 5/5

Blues rock. Es el de The White Stripes. Un 4.

I don’t really like Jack Whites voice, but the songwriting is good. A lot of it felt like filler, and many tracks were lacklustre but the highlights were amazing. Weep Themselves To Sleep is phenomenal. I think I’m not a big fan of this type of music but it’s alright.

bom album, rockzao consistente

Tunes

Jack White albums are always fun, and this is a great break away into slightly more experimental material following some stellar output with White Stripes (with the weirder Icky Thump serving as a kind of gateway) An eclectic mix of consistently catchy songs, with Sixteen Saltines and the closer being the standouts, it’s a lot of fun but doesn’t quite hold up to the band’s strongest records or even White’s two following records in my opinion

It is the first time I listen to jack white solo. - blues/rock - really great sound mix

Very varied album.

This guy sounds just like the guy from the White Stripes

51/100 Based on this scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 Freedom at 21 is really good and a few other numbers on the album are decent as well, but it's not without its formula.

Really great blues rock. I like just about everything Jack White makes. This record was much more varied in style than I thought it would be. Favorite songs are Sixteen Saltines, Weep Themselves To Sleep, and his version of I’m Shakin’.

i just got déjà-vu and déjà-vu talking about it. weird feeling. anyways, i liked some of this and hated the rest, so i’m not sure what to do about that. but i didn’t mind some of these songs they were really catchy and i liked them more than the white stripes album that i listened to. probably wouldn’t listen to it again but some songs from it for sure.

Moderner Rock, aber nicht mein Geschmack

its pretty, but empty, like candy or pop music.

I liked this one. Would listen again.

An enjoyable album, would listen to it again.

8.5/10

One of my favourite artists, with his solo debut, was always going to score highly. I'm not 100% sure it deserves full marks, but I'm damn sure that's what it is getting. He has such power to create a vision or a world, especially here where he doesn't need to compromise even a little. Some tracks are fairly raw, and great, and others have had a bit more production put into them, and are also great!

I want to like him more, just can’t

Raw drivng Rock

Prefer the stripes, really.

3.25 stars Favourite songs: - Missing Pieces - Blunderbuss - Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy

I wasn’t in the mood for this at first and was going to give it a 3, but it has charm and is well-made. I probably wouldn’t be inclined to listen to the whole album again, though it’s fun in smaller doses. 3.5 rounded up.

I love Jack white and this album is great.

Not bad, but not super memorable. It's a vibe that only Jack White has. I'll probably put it in the rotation, but only as background.

Wildly overrated

not very interesting and with stupid lyrics

Great rock with bluesy undertones. "Weep themselves asleep" is the clear favourite

I know I haven't listened to enough of Jack White's music because whenever I do, I like it. This is a very good album. I know it's his debut album but there's already a maturity and intelligence to his work and a dark ironic sense of humor. He's a superb multi-instrumentalist and I honestly think he's one of the best guitarists out there.

Sounds like Jack White. It's fine I guess 3/5

Some great moments, but ultimately too much of it is unfocused to reach the highs of his White Stripes work

Not as good as I remember it being. This was the last album I enjoyed he put out.

This was pretty close to a 4 but ultimately didn't quite make it. One member of my listening group did really enjoy this though and I can see what he likes about it. Definitely cool and original. It's also possible a bit more time would bring me around on this one from 'it's good' to 'I really love this'

Decent album but nothing special

I forgot how good his solo debut was...

Great album! Found myself really liking a lot of the songs and wanting to go back and listen. There is one cheeseball piano song that sounds like a 1950’ s song that made me roll my eyes but all in all, loved this one.

Brilliant! Good sound. The White Stripes were always Jack White. This is my first time listening to the album... didn't actually know any of the songs. Standouts: Sixteen Saltines, Missing Pieces, Freedom at 21, Love Interruption, I'm Shakin', Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy, Others: Blunderbuss, Hypocritical Kiss, I Guess I Should Go to Sleep, On and On and On, Machine Gun Silhouette. Rating: 4/5

2/5. Jack White isn’t bad by any means as I do enjoy a few White Stripes songs, but his voice and talent has just never really done it for me.

It's pretty good. I'd give it 3,5 if I could.

För cool för mig

Jack White played yeti season before his concert, and I watched one of my favorite bands (Geese) at third man records, so he has a great taste in music. However when it comes to his own music, in particular this album, it doesn't quite connect with me. In particular the song writing doesn't really stand out to me as being novel or exciting.

listening alongside some smashing pumpkins because i cant seem to focus on one thing today so far so cute, enjoyable its kinda generic but its not bad reminds me of something but i cant think what

sixteen saltines, weep yourself to sleep

Very well-produced and unique album. The only reason it gets four stars is because it’s not a style of music I usually listen to so I don’t know that I’ll revisit it anytime soon.

Love my man Jack white's guitar playing, but the record just didn't do it for me. The album had a grabbag of rock styles, showing the range of Jack. 2.5 stars.

Released in 2012, "Blunderbuss" marks Jack White's debut solo album after the dissolution of The White Stripes and his various other musical ventures. The album encapsulates the multifaceted nature of White's musical prowess, showcasing his skills as a songwriter, musician, and producer. Lyrics: The lyrical content of "Blunderbuss" delves into themes of love, heartbreak, and introspection. White's lyrical approach is both poetic and introspective, revealing a vulnerability not as prominently seen in his previous works. The album's opener, "Missing Pieces," sets the tone with enigmatic lyrics that invite listeners to piece together the complexities of relationships. In "Love Interruption," White explores the paradoxes of love, addressing its beauty and destructive potential. Throughout the album, his lyrics are a blend of raw emotion and clever wordplay, contributing to the album's depth. Pros: Poetic Depth: White's lyrical prowess shines, showcasing a newfound emotional depth. Variety in Themes: The album explores a range of emotions, adding a layer of complexity to the overall narrative. Cons: Occasional Ambiguity: Some may find the abstract nature of certain lyrics a bit challenging to interpret. Music: "Blunderbuss" is a sonic kaleidoscope, weaving through various genres with White's signature blues-rock at its core. The album features a diverse array of instruments, including piano, fiddles, and steel guitars. White's guitar work is as virtuosic as ever, and his ability to seamlessly blend genres, evident in tracks like "Sixteen Saltines" and "Freedom at 21," showcases his musical dexterity. The music is both energetic and contemplative, providing a dynamic listening experience. Pros: Genre Fusion: The album masterfully blends blues, rock, and folk, showcasing White's versatility. Instrumentation: The diverse instrumentation adds layers to the sound, creating a rich auditory experience. Cons: Lack of Cohesion for Some Listeners: The eclectic nature of the music might be disorienting for those seeking a more cohesive sonic journey. Production: As the sole producer of the album, Jack White maintains a raw and authentic sound reminiscent of his earlier work. The analog recording process imparts a warmth and organic quality to the tracks. The production emphasizes the live feel, capturing the essence of each performance. White's decision to record in various studios contributes to the album's sonic diversity while maintaining a cohesive overall sound. Pros: Authenticity: The production preserves the genuine, unpolished essence of White's musical expression. Dynamic Soundscapes: The use of different studios enhances the sonic diversity, making each track a unique experience. Cons: Intentional Roughness: Some listeners may find the intentional rawness of the production less polished compared to contemporary studio-perfected albums. Themes: "Blunderbuss" grapples with themes of love, heartache, and self-discovery. White's exploration of these themes is nuanced, delving into the intricacies of human relationships. The album serves as a canvas for White to paint his emotional landscape, with each track contributing a different hue. From the introspective "Blunderbuss" to the defiance in "I'm Shakin'," the thematic diversity adds layers to the listening experience. Pros: Emotional Range: The album covers a broad emotional spectrum, providing a comprehensive exploration of its themes. Personal Reflection: White's introspective approach offers listeners a glimpse into his personal journey. Cons: Potential Overload: The abundance of themes might overwhelm listeners seeking a more straightforward narrative. Influence: "Blunderbuss" showcases White's ability to evolve while staying true to his roots. The album undoubtedly draws inspiration from blues, rock, and folk traditions, yet it also marks a departure from The White Stripes' minimalist aesthetic. White's influence on subsequent artists is evident in the revival of interest in analog recording methods and a return to more organic musical styles. Pros: Innovative Fusion: White's fusion of genres and willingness to experiment paves the way for a new generation of musicians. Impact on Analog Resurgence: The album contributes to the resurgence of interest in analog recording methods. Cons: Expectations of Continuity: Some fans may have expected a more direct continuation of The White Stripes' sound, potentially finding the album's eclecticism surprising. In conclusion, "Blunderbuss" is a testament to Jack White's artistic evolution. The album's strengths lie in its lyrical depth, musical diversity, authentic production, thematic richness, and lasting influence. While its eclecticism may not resonate with everyone, the album stands as a bold and multifaceted expression of Jack White's musical identity.

Playing Catch Up on the Weekends. I've always like Jack White Stripes, but had never sat down to listen to a full album of either. I was also surprised to discover I didn't know any of these songs, even the singles. This reminds me a lot of when Panic at the Disco! was not a pop band. Their second album, Pretty Odd, experimented with different types of sound, as this one does. The bluesy Blunderbuss, the piano-heavy Hypothetical Kiss and Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy were my favorites.

Interesting fusion of rock subgenres, but not really my cup of tea off of first listen. Don't hate it though. Fav Track: Love Interruption

Track 1: bra keyboard solo. Alla låtarna är ganska lika. Weep themselves to sleep är en cool låt.

High 3. Solid.

He is an amazing musician, and I Love the vibe. I have a slight resistance to the sound is all. so, 4

its jack.....thats enough

It's Jack....

I liked the bass in Sixteen Saltines and the drums in Freedom at 21 and both in I'm Shakin'. I liked him better when he was in The White Stripes. Maybe because Meg White's amazing drums hid the weird shaky thing that his voice does

9/10

maneiro demais

November 24, 2023 Jack's first solo album. Quite a few great tracks, would put this on again from start to finish. Doesn't stray too far from the White Stripes, bit more polished but still loud guitar rock.

Would listen again.

I really enjoyed about half of this, didn't like the other half as much though. Every time it dipped into country rock I groaned inwardly, but then there were peaks to match the troughs. I particularly enjoyed the progressive folk that showed up now and then. Overall there were definitely 2 and 4 star moments, so a 3-star review seems fair, even if pretty much none of this sounded like a 3 star album.

Well I've never listened to the White stripes I've been aware of Jack White's sound for years. This being my first experience with a full Jack White album It sounds about exactly how I would of predicted it to sound but still covering the amount of genres and sounds that he touches on throughout this album it is impressive nonetheless yet still very much safe sounding music. The highlights have to be his lyrics and anytime a guitar solo kicks in and gets wild.

Very unenjoyable it brought a frown to my face, there was like one okay song

Great album, honestly don't think there's a bad song on, I don't love all of them, but the overall quality is undeniable, with Jack White's particular sensibilities easily heard all the way through.

Good!

I like this better than his White Stripes output, felt like the same vein as T-Rex at times.

Underrated banger: this felt instantly familiar when I only really knew one song from the length of this album. Maybe the nostalgia of hearing it as a child gives this record extra brownie points but it felt somewhat fresh and engaging. The progressions felt familiar but executed in a way which you don't quite expect, it was just a fun album.

Tämäkin parempi ku odotin. Loppua kohden vähä lässähti

Aika gootti kansi. Levy blaa, vikassa biisissä luulin et alko soimaan Led Zeppelin

What a blunder

Meh, great guitar, shit voice

A solid album but a strange choice for the list

Didn't care for the first half of the album, but the second half was alright. I liked I'm Shakin' and Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy

I like the sound a lot. But one, I just feel like it’s the kind of music that sounds better live. And two, I couldn’t listen to it for too long. But overall, very cool and funky. I’d give it 3.5.

I like Jack White a lot, but he doesn't differentiate himself from the Stripes enough. Still a lot of fun to listen to.

White stripes are better

Surprisingly decent first half, expected boring blues rock on the second half. Why is this album here again?

Generic rock with a hint of blues. I never understood how this guy got so popular.

This album is the very definition of writing songs for the sake of writing them, without really believing in them or living them. The themes are so generic and the songs so predictable that you have the impression that they have already been recorded before (probably by The Rolling Stones or by Led Zeppelin, who had already ripped off songs before). Blunderbuss is the third stage of rotten generic white blues rock thrash.

I get this weird feeling from Jack White. Like there is some sort of weird southern Gothic alternate universe he has come from. And he has seen things no one else has seen. The music is solid.

Gosto mais da guitarra do que do vocal. Melhor música é a faixa título do álbum.

I like jack white as it turns out.

I feel like a whole album of Jack White is too much. He's got some good songs on this album and he is a great oddball musician, but his unique sound gets a little too much after a couple tracks have gone by.

Jack White is a very talented musician/singer. But his brand of quirky, bluesy, Bo Diddly oldies is not really for me. 3 stars because there are some groovy tunes on the album like Love Interruption, Blunderbus, Hip (eponymous)poor boy, Take Me With You When You Go

Impressions: Noise + blues + rock. It was okay for me. Favorite tracks: Freedom at 21, Take Me With You When You Go Rating: 3/5

C'est pas non plus la folie faut arrêter

zzzzzz

It was enjoyable to listen to. I really haven't listened to any of his music besides his hits from the White Stripes. His lyrics made for an interesting and somewhat unpredictable path but was not bad. Even though it was enjoyable I still wasn't head over heels for it. I did like the steel guitar tho one of my favorite instruments fr. Perhaps I'll come back for another listen another day.

Solid but few standouts

Listened to this stuck at a train station

Jack White and his unique vocals are fun

Gid vibe.

Harmless; but also, nothing memorable.

Too many waltz type songs. Jack whites voic e grates. 3.5/10

It’s Jack White, awesome album!!!

Even if I think every Jack White project sounds similar I thinks it sounds so unique and distinctive from what every other band would release at that time. Love this album, been playing it on repeat for a few days.

Meh, didn't blow me away

I usually find Jack White's raw blues rock to be fun. I may not have listened too closely but didn't find much different about this solo album. Could have done without the detuned player piano banging out chords for an entire song, but I guess that one was old West saloon inspired

Consistently good vibe to it, but I can't recall a single tune. Not bad instrumentation though.

high energy, deep melodies!

What an album to start with. Jack has done a lot for the conceptualizaton of rock music and a lot for the city of Detroit. This album mixes rock, folk, blues, and classical music in ways that most artists could only dream of. Jack doesn’t miss. I could say these things for most of his catalog though. I think Weep Themselves To Sleep is my favorite track on this album.

Mostly fun. The influences really come through. The originality not so much.

Never heard it before. Really like the White Stripes, so this was expectedly good! 3/5

Had more depth than I remember. Appreciated the southern/Appalachian influence. Classic jack white lyrically and musically. Lack of diversity in instrumentation but he managed to make it a well rounded album anyway. 3.5/5

Ничего плохого

Good

Een aardig zwikkie deuntjes, sommige doen aan de Stones denken, andere zijn country-achtig, af en toe swingt het. Maar er zijn weinig positieve uitschieters, het blijft in het midden hangen. Dit is door anderen toch wel eens beter gedaan.

Jack White? Nooit van gehoord? Dacht ik. Tot je de eerste klanken hoort. Aahhh...WHITE (het kwartje valt)! We kunnen stellen dat er wel een heel duidelijke stemtekening onder de muziek van White staat. Toch een zegening lijkt mij, als je zo'n kenmerkende stem hebt. Dan zou je het erbij kunnen laten. Jouw stem als troef accepteren en alles daarom heen zetten. Maar dat gebeurt hier niet. Dit is een creatief album. Er wordt muzikaal en met zang veel gevarieerd en onderzocht. Sommige van die onderzoeken slagen, anderen schieten soms iets teveel door naar mijn smaak. Maar toch moet ik bekennen dat het muzikaal sterk is en dat de samenstelling op het album voor een interessant luistergeheel zorgt.

Ik heb alle albums van the White Stripes zo ongeveer wel geluisterd, die erg goed zijn, maar toch ook wel ergens een beetje schuren door het stemgeluid van Jack White, de kale gitaar en drumsound. Vervolgens ging Jack White verder in the Raconteurs, waar een volwaardige band achter zat en waar een andere zanger mede de boel kleurde. En nu is het een soort van kruising tussen the White Stripes en the Raconteurs. Maar het voelt wel alsof Jack eindelijk weet wat voor soort muziek hij wil maken, waar hij in de afgelopen 20 jaar naar op zoek is geweest. Het is eigentijds, vernieuwend en moeilijk in een hokje te stoppen, en toch onmiskenbaar Jack White. Het schuurt nog steeds af en toe, voelt niet helemaal als een warm bad, maar je blijft wel continu geboeid luisteren.

Would be good live

very classic jack white rock riffs, nothing amazing though

This was an interesting, musically diverse album with top notch musicianship. A solid listen, if not a particularly memorable one. Fave Songs: Weep Themselves to Sleep, Take Me with You When You Go, Love Interruption, Trash Tongue Talker, Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy

"I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers" I'm a huge fan of Jack White's work with the White Stripes, and I'm aware that he was the mastermind behind most of those songs, so I was pretty excited for this album. T1-5 were very solid, but the second half of the album pales in comparison. T2- "Sixteen Saltines" gives us a nice, heavier rock sound that maybe a lot of us were expecting from White's musical style (playlist track), whereas T4- "Love interruption" is an acoustic ballad that is still very much rock n roll, but in a very different, more singer-songwriter way. Both these songs were great, but like I said, the second half of the album is far weaker, and because of that, I will have to give this album a 3/5

As yesterday, not my style, not fan of the vocals specifically, but I enjoyed the musicality and production. Good album, just not for me

Love Jack White. ❤️

Good, very "rocky"

Beautiful and chunky sound. Pretty delightful and easy to listen to

Just okay, too dramatic, takes itself too seriously I think

Good album, might listen again but I could skip some songs

I like it! Great showcase of Jack White's musicianship.

Very ordinary, no tracks stand out, I cannot see why this album made the list.

A hodgepodge of things. All of which had music and words. White and his mates all appear to be very accomplished musicians, yet, none of what they presented made connection to me in any way.

This is better than some of the classic White Stripes albums. I think it's a good example of Jack, and he seems to have found his sound.

It’s objectively good but it just doesn’t appeal to me personally. Have decided to rate on how much I like it rather than quality. Fave track: Love Interruption Rating: 2

I use to listen to the first three songs on repeat when I was 18, but other than that I didn't come back to listen to the full very much

Meh plus unoriginal. No idea why this was included, it’s not Jack White’s best work by far.

I like The White Stripes but I didn’t really get into this album. It has a good sound but none of the songs hooked me.

Enjoyed it, but it almost mainly just made me wish I was listening to the White Stripes. I feel like maybe the artificial constraints of that band helped Jack produce better music.

I don't blame Jack White for wanting to do things besides Raconteurs & White Stripes. I do blame how long this list is for the fact that this super mediocre album is included.

he's noyvous. "I guess I should go to sleep" mood I thought i would really like this. I was mistaken.

3.7/5 First couple tracks are solid but I feel like it falls off a bit. Overall not as good as the White Stripes albums.

Classic alternative indie
