Blunderbuss

I very thoroughly enjoy the diversity this album brings; each track is different from the other. Great album, though I don't think any specific tracks really hooked me. Insane riffs though, really like all the piano parts.

A lot of 2010s rock is completely soulless and this is not an exception. Vocals, lyrics both suck and even when the instrumentals are good they feel derivative. Not a single bit of substance on this album Also this guy looooves misogyny Freedom at 21 is absurd and then his excuse is like yeah i was talking about technology actually.... i have female friends....

2/5 not for me

I was at one of his concerts with some friends, and we weren’t exactly sober. At one point, right after a fucking epic guitar solo, the song dropped into a rest - the whole crowd holding its breath for the mythical figure that is Jack White - and two of my friends bellowed VERY NICE in full Borat voice.

Decent👍

tenía poco de haber salido cuando me obsesioné con los white stripes en secundaria así que le tengo harto cariño, pero me extrañó verlo en la lista. me acuerda a los discos de blues del dr. house xd

Ok

Blues Rock and Alternative at its finest. The bold guitar and stomping drums make a perfect "here I come!" attitude. This album is way closer to Dead Weather than White Stripes, and serves a rich palette of instrumental and expressive variety! The songs go in wild directions, with dusty, rough blues tunes, carnival madness, and borderline riffs that range from soothing to jarring.

Jack White is very serious about music. No smartphones at his shows. Lots of rules about authenticity. The blues, properly understood. You can feel all of this on Blunderbuss — the weight of a man who needs you to know he means it. The problem is the album itself is scattered. Blues rock, country, piano ballads — it moves around without landing anywhere. "Sixteen Saltines" is genuinely good: mean riff, real momentum. The rest didn't stay. 2/5 — takes itself seriously. I didn't.

Excellent! I love Jack's brand of modern blues rock, and his voice is as unique as his guitar tone. The album is a potent mix of riff based blues rock numbers and ballads. I dig the use of keyboards and piano here, like in the nearly-over-the-top "Weep Themselves to Sleep". All in all, lots of moments that made me smile, headbang or just feel groovy. Might become a 5 in the future. 4/5 - excellent

Might need to give it a go, but didn't really move me. Lacked the power and immediateness of much of his other work.

Big Jack White fan, summary of this is good but not great.

It wasn't bad, I quite enjoyed it

Standard Jack white affair high quality rock that doesn’t blow you away

Not really a fan of Jack White, or the White Stripes. He's clearly a good artist, it's just not for me. The title track wasn't too bad. I didn't find anything I'd like to put on the playlist though.

I don't need to hear anything more from Jack White. It isn't good. It holds no interest.

4.5

This is marginal. Theres some strong tracks but idk. Borderline 2.5

Great mix of blues rock. Jack White has the X factor.

I've always really liked this album.

Didn't really resonate with me

First impressions here are that this is terrible. The lyrics are terrible but at least the music saves it from being unlistenable. I think this is a record strictly for fans of the White Stripes because Jack's voice is still weird, and some of the music is good, but it's not an album you need to hear before you die. Had I not heard this I would have been fine.

Almost gave this a 2 for being a bland, flat, boring blues record. But a second listen with headphones really helped it out. Gonna give it a 4 for benefit of the doubt, but probably more of a strong 2

Decent. A couple of nice tunes but mostly forgettable for me. An enjoyable rock/country hybrid with interesting subject matter for sure but I just don't think something that gelled with me personally. Doesn't at all degrade any other Jack White or White Stripes work, just not a favourite by any stretch.

Very good. Love interrupted deserves a place on anyone’s desert island playlist.

Love this album

Is this seriously 1k1 material? I love JW. No question he belongs in the neighborhood. He is in fact thrice on the list already. Just strikes me as odd. Dig the record tho: 3.5

7/10 very cool album

Listen out of order since Spotify licensing shenanigans

Top 2 des albums solos de Jacques Blanc.

I liked this album. I like the bluesy feel of the some of the songs and that the styles seemed to change between tracks. It kept it feeling varied. I struggled to pick a favourite and I think that might be because there just isn’t a stand-out track for me. Very solid as an album but nothing that really stood out. Giving it a 3 because despite enjoying it on a first listen, my second listen to pick a favourite song left me a little disappointed. Fav song: Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy Least fav: Hypocritical Kiss

Didn’t have a huge effect on me this album I must admit. In one ear out the other really. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t particularly memorable. Specific rating- 3.8 Fav song- missing pieces Least fav - hypocritical kiss

I really enjoyed the lyricism and the variety. Think I'd have liked it slightly more if it was sung by a different vocalist... Favourite song: Freedom at 21 Least: Love Interruption

Talented and well known axe-man proves he isnt a one man band via first solo release....without checking I can assure you he would have used the same formula for 2nd album and it flopped

It's hopping

I like how this starts. Vocally, slight "No Rest for the Wicked" vibes. Love Interruption is super folksy. Didn't expect it from Jack White. I'm enjoying this This is a really cool album. Inspired by lots of different genres to create a really neat sound. Great guitar, fun use of harmonies / supporting vocals I loved this.

I quite enjoyed this. It got better as the album went on. It definitely had that 2000-2010 sound with a bit of a country element at some points. It also had a bit of soul which I appreciated. Wouldn’t listen again but nice to be exposed to.

This was alright, I'd say I enjoyed it but it just flew by. Not much memorable going off here for me. 2.5

I don't like

Sry, not my music.

Certaines sont plutôt sympas, je connaissais pas la carrière solo du monsieur

It's a jack white album. It comes across as just about every other thing I've heard from him. Mildly interesting, but not enough to keep me hooked.

Ill be so honest, I dont really remember anything about it. Seemed like there were a few good songs/ moments but I cant recall 90% of it.

My first Jack White album. I appreciate that he wasn't afraid to get fun with the soundscape on this album. I kinda like that there's an interesting assortment of tracks. Some of them are pretty good too. But I don't think that this one is anything to write home about.

Interesting and theatrical

I loved the production and the sound of it, but there is just something about his voice and songwriting I don’t jive w. It’s like every chord progression he writes I have heard a billion times and his lyrics aren’t very interesting to me

Pretty good! He writes great songs I just think his voice bugs me too much… 3.5

Too samey for me.

pretty cool 3 saved songs and unique rifs. moody but happy

Incredible album. Admittedly this was my least favorite record of his before relistening. After a full Relisten again years later, I noticed the incredible instrumentation and variety of different genres backed into this album. This quickly became my favorite record of his. Top songs: take me with you, blunderbuss, freedom at 21

Started off a bit samey, and I found myself getting a bit irritated by Jack's vocals, which is strange cause I quite like The White Stripes...

Surprisingly good! Preferred the more bluesy back half of this album 3/5 Top tracks: Take me with you when you go, bluderbuss

Some of it's way too much

Cool vulture. I thought songs were just okay.

nothing special

Energetic, but vocals and production make it feel a bit amateur.

Not Jack White's best but still very decent stuff

It's 3.5

i feel like ive heard similar albums to this, ie i can’t think of any standouts here. i feel a bit sad by how underwhelmed i felt listening to this because i thought the album cover was cool

It's alright. Not my favorite among Jack White's career, but it's decent.

I like a bit of Jack White in small doses, but a full record of the same sounding stuff gets old after about 2.5 tracks.

some songs rly sweeet, low k not my vibe heavy thi

Something about this album itches my brain good. The lyrics are on point, instrumentals do not overpower the lyrics and you can hear the emotions in the voice. I love his voice, it definitely adds a certain charm to the album. Favourite song in the album - Blunderbuss/Weep themselves to sleep No. of favourited songs - 2/13 Rating - 4/5

Pretty standard '10s alt rock I think, I was surprised to enjoy the more upbeat songs on this one. Highlights: "Blunderbuss", "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy", "Take Me With You When You Go"

I want to like Jack White and the White Stripes more than I do because on paper I should, but I never quite connect to their works. It all just comes off okay.

Jack White is one of my favorite Guitarist but for some reason this album just doesn’t have a 5 star sound or feel to it for me. Its great but not that.

Incredible. No notes.

I should listen to Jack White much more regularly. If I had been less of a grown up by the time The White Stripes really hit, I think I would have been fairly obsessed with them and would have listened to them and Jack solo way more than I currently do. As it is, while I own all the White Stripes albums and most of Jack’s, I don’t feel they receive as much of my ear time as they deserve. There’s quality in every track here. Jack has good ideas and executes them excellently. The band all seem amazing, and it is recorded and produced beautifully. It’s a pretty strong recipe for a good album. I want one of my takeaways from this to be “listen to more Jack White”

Contains everything you'd love about a White Stripes album. Favorite track: I'm Shakin'

4.5

What the hell was I doing in 2012 that made me miss this? Damn near perfect. 4.5

This album is timeless.

Nostalgic

Jack White’s music is a pastiche—a collage of blues, garage rock, and Americana. The songs are cool, and the thick, distorted guitar fuzz never fails. However, his work never moves me to tears, nor does it tug at the strings of my soul. Jack White is the Quentin Tarantino of rock. And my favorite moments on Blunderbuss arrive when the music goes off the rails and White leans fully into the raspy, idiosyncratic inflections of his voice. Unfortunately, that means that the album is front-heavy.

Jack's knack for using the studio as an instrument is vastly underrated (because of that other raw little band he was part of), and it all began here. How the hell he gets that crackly distortion tone is one of the great mysteries of the modern age. Call me crazy, but I think I prefer his country stuff? The subtlety gives him more room to breathe as a player. I also realized while listening that, although the instrumentals are always off the chain, his songs aren't really ABOUT anything...that was probably the first clue that he'd be a bad visual artist, lol (God bless and keep yee).

Really great instrumental and vocal sound. I really enjoyed this from start to finish. 4 side of a 4.5.

Uma grande inovação na carreira do Jack White, mas nada de realmente novo no mundo da música. Não surpreendeu.

Favourite Songs: I'm Shakin' Trash Tongue Talker

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it is quite creative and harmonic. But the mix is often weird, probably on purpose, but I don't like it. And I often wished it would go harder in general. Like a failed orgasm. But that's rock'n'roll in general for me.

Meh

Not bad, but definitely one of the least interesting Jack White works

This album just didn't captivate me at all. It may be my mood today or the lack of musical hooks to grab me. Won't listen again.

Magnificent. Loved it. Some songs are grandiose and baroque if that word can describe them. It reminds me of neil diamond and the first billy joel record. It's great.

geit eso

insane

nao achei que o Jack white seria extremamente bom, já que não tenho tanta opinião sobre o The white stripes

Example 5,357,540,641 of why you should never break up the damn band.

4 stars

Yeah ok whatever

I listened to it on friday and at the time I thought it was good but now I remember nothing about it

I was between a 4 and a 5 for this album but my rating definitely has some bias cause this is an album my dad loves so I grew up listening to a lot of these songs and I also was listening to it when i was was on a hike and it was just like perfect weather and stuff so maybe not the most accurate rating

Dude fuck this guy's voice fr. Why is he doing that on Freedom at 21. Stop. This is the closest thing to a 1 I've heard, but the instrumentation is just good enough to save it. Hated this more than anything we've had yet but I have to recognize its merits.

Tällä levyllä oli ihan hyvää kitarointia ja rosoista meininkiä. Aika tasapaksua kuitenkin.

The first two tracks were a little meh but then it improved, or at least sounded enough like other things I like (echoes of Led Zeppelin??) to round up to 4.

Wowie, I really like this. It sounds like Jack White without sounding like The White Stripes. Well done.

I dimly remember when this came out. I had just gotten into running and think I listened to this for the first time on a treadmill? I think critical response in 2012 was positive? I don’t remember how I felt about it, other than vaguely warm feelings towards “Sixteen Saltines”. (After this listen, I think those warm feelings are because it was uptempo enough to actually run to; the song itself is just alright.) As always, I think White is a great guitar player who knows how to write the hell out of a riff and a weird solo. A lot of attitude and force in his singing, too. More sonic variety in the production than White Stripes had, which was almost always just Jack and Meg. The keyboards are an especially welcome addition. All of this to say that this is a perfectly respectable, pretty good solo debut. But it didn’t rock my world, and I’m not surprised that this one didn’t stick with me 14 years later.

I am not immune to Jack White's slick, pasty blues rock charms, but I am also acutely aware that he made much better music before and after this album. It's not bad, per say, it just feels a bit stiff and constrained. He gets weird, and he tries out all sorts of styles, but there's a point in which it all blends together: not like Pet Sounds, more like Kings of Leon (!). Maybe it only reads that way because I know Jack is capable of his own Pet Sounds. I can't give much grief here: the album has it's moments, it's never abrasively bad or anything. And besides, you'd be a bit disenfranchised if your cousin / ex-wife / drummer let you out on your own.

I liked it, its good.

Surprised me... Away from pure garage rock with Genre mix and tribute to legends like rolling Stones or Zeppelin

Iwie relativ kurze Songs, die mich jetzt beim durchhören auch nicht wirklich gecatched haben

As much as I love The White Stripes for their simple & powerful riffs, this album just hits so much harder. The more intricate guitar lines and drums with Jack White's iconic vocals (underlined with some great harmonies) make his solo debut a fucking blast. I'm not a fan of the more blues-y or folk-y tracks on this record but I still enjoyed listening to it all the way through. Favourite tracks: Missing Pieces, Sixteen Saltines, Freedom At 21, Weep Themselves To Sleep, On And On And On 4.5/5

Can't stand Jack Whites singing style.

It’s been only 14 years, but I’d already forgotten how great this album is.

A talented, restless album with flashes of exactly the kind of soulful rock that hits home (“I’m Shakin’” especially), but it wanders too often into styles that don’t match the mood. When it’s good, it’s really good — you just wish the whole thing lived in that same pocket.

Aye alright

It's grand

The way he says "nervous" on I'm Shakin fecks me off, but still a good album.

It just wade me want to listen to better jack white stuff. But he's still good. Very few people make a guitar sound like that

Missing Pieces = That solo in the middle of the song is so fire!! The whole track is very enjoyable and easy to sing along to. Overall, it’s a really energetic and fun song. 3.5/5 Sixteen Saltines = Somehow, I completely missed this song the first time I heard it (okay, that’s probably just my fault). It’s definitely an interesting track, but a bit too strange for me personally. Still, I had fun listening to it, especially because of the guitar parts. However, I probably wouldn’t listen to it by choice very often. 3/5 Freedom at 21 = The main theme of the song is really catchy. “She’s got freedom in the 21st century” stayed in my head immediately. 3.5/5 Love Interruption = Ohhh, it’s a duet 😍! The main part of the song is extremely catchy, and the vocals work really well together 4/5 Blunderbuss = This feels like a completely different type of song compared to the earlier tracks. I really enjoyed its vibe, especially the beginning. 4/5 Hypocritical Kiss = THE piano opening 🔥 You can really feel a sense of disappointment and failure in expectations of love throughout the song. Very effective. 3.5/5 Weep Themselves to Sleep = I really liked the fact that the song was piano-driven, although the track itself was only okay for me. However, I listened to it a second time and IMMEDIATELY recognized it, which probably means it left a stronger impression on me than I thought 3.5/5 I’m Shakin’ = This feels like something completely different from the rest of the album. I know it was probably part of the artist’s vision, but I still have mixed feelings about it. Not a song for me 3/5 Trash Tongue Talker = Personally, I felt a bit less emotional connection with this song compared to the others. Still, I could definitely hear the blues-rock influence throughout the track, which was interesting. 3/5 Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy = The beginning reminded me of Amélie for some reason (idk why). But then the song suddenly changes direction and honestly… what was that 😭 Sorry, but this track just didn’t stand out to me very much. 2/5 I Guess I Should Go to Sleep = NOOOO, why does the beginning sound so similar to the previous song? Okay, update: the next part is WAY better. 3/5 On and On and On = Okay, here I can actually feel something emotionally. I searched for the meaning of the song afterward, and I completely understood the connection. The feelings I got from it and the message about exhaustion from constantly meeting other people’s expectations match perfectly. I loved the ending, because it genuinely feels overwhelming in an intentional way. 3.5/5 Take Me With You When You Go = I love the meaning of this song so much, especially the way the lyrical subject’s attitude toward their lover suddenly changes throughout the track. I also really liked the overall structure and emotional delivery 3.5/5 Overall, I liked this album, but I honestly don’t think I will return to the full project very often. Maybe I’ll revisit some songs from the beginning of the album, though. The track I enjoyed the least was definitely Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy. Overall, I would give the album a 3.5/5, although it leans a bit more toward a 3 for me personally

I loved this album! What a nice surprise. Jack White has proven how valid he is as a guitarist and now for me truly as a musician in his own right, I really enjoyed this record

He reminds me of a woman named Paige who read us books in kindergarten. Her voice would quiver and rise, then drop silently low to tell us a secret. It would jump back and forth across the room, creating so many colorful visuals in my mind.

Yeah. No.

Me pareció sorprendentemente hermoso, lo disfruté bastante

I don’t think I know Jack White, and at first I didn’t think it was anything special, but it started to take on more and more of an Elton John vibe, so I’ll give it 2 stars after all…

Hey this is fine. I think this is the kind of album that if you play it a lot you start to really love it. On first listen, though, it just doesn't move my needles. Jack White has a sound, and a vision for what his music should sound like, and he also doesn't mind going outside of his comfort zone if that's what a song needs. I respect that, even if nothing on this album really gets me going. THREE STARS

Awesome!

Jack White is pretty hit or miss for me, and I found this album pretty boring overall without many standout tracks.

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

El tipo que con dos o tres boludeces te arma un temazo mostrando que en cada proyecto, con su impronta, la clava. Álbum que gasté cuando salió como pocos. Hoy, con el tiempo, me sigue gustando aunque sin tanta intensidad. 7/10

La música de Jack White tiene algo muy particular. En ocasiones se parece parece mucho a Led Zeppelin y en otras mantiene esa vibra única de él. Lo que puedo decir es que lo banco.

Another jack white album. That's not Lazaretto. Sisters, what is this world coming to? Whatever. Hopefully it's better than "Get Behind Me, Satan," though that album was so fantastically awful that this one should have no problem doing just that. So this album bumblerfluff has a couple of cool songs. The opener is better than most white stripes songs, though frankly that just means that it’s a decent enough rock song. The white stripes are not a good band. "Freedom at 21" is great, a mesmerizing little song, which has good enough lyrics. An interesting part of this album is the acoustic, folksy touches throughout. Sure, it's definitely a rock album, but it's got its fair share of stripped down, singer-songwriter jams, such as "Love Interruption" (phenomenal song by the way), or the title track (which kinda sucks, but that's fine). A lot of these songs ended up being more bearable than those on the other albums from the Stripes. Is it great? Not at all. Is it essential? Ehh. There aren't any songs on here I like as much as "Lazaretto" off of his next album, which was the Jack White song that I personally grew up on, even if there are some songs I like. Also, there are some UNDENIABLE duds here, such as the aforementioned title track, "I'm Shakin'," or "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy," and the B-side is a MASSIVE falloff compared to the A-side. However it's still pretty good, especially compared to some of his OTHER work... 7.4/10

Something was off about the voice, but I do enjoy the music. ★★★

by song 3 still trying to get the right meaning of it. I mean is ok the vocals are interesting. hypocritical kiss sounds sweet i mean is ok i was a little confused of what genre is this one

I’ve never understood why this is so popular every other record I’ve heard by him is better. This is very mid level middle of the road rock.

1. Good instrumentation 2. Not a huge fan of Jack White's voice, personal preference

Great album

Eccentric arrangements, sharp-edged basslines, distorted mics and that deep south vibe. Those electric pianos on 'Love Interruption' and those quirky-yet-impactful lyrics. That vibe in 'I'm Shakin'... This album really knows how to blend rock with a soulful groove. 4 stars.

This is my 100th album and, well, I think it’s the first where I have no idea why it’s here. Incredibly competent stuff with a few outstanding moments (second half of the last track, for instance), but it’s hard to imagine anything less essential than a Jack White solo album. For all its qualities, there’s little here you won’t find in more vital form either in a White Stripes record or one of the many influences he lovingly, faithfully cribs from.

I find his solo stuff enjoyable, but not memorable.

Jack, I love you..

Enjoyed this and may well give it another listen. Quirky, musically interesting

3/5

i’ve heard this before. been a while though. don’t remember it well. incredible opening. very good. oddly dense? i love im shakin so much.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to Jack White’s music outside of the White Stripes. I was sort of expecting a White Stripes record here, but the first track on this record was far bluesier and more subdued than I would expect. Then the second track started and.. well this is just a White Stripes record. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I like the White Stripes, but I guess the first song got my hopes up that this would be something.. more? I enjoyed this album a reasonable amount, a lot of it felt extremely Led Zeppelin inspired, particularly the title track. I’m not convinced this is something I’d listen to on a purpose, but it’s fine.

Listening to this album I went back and forth between “why would I want to listen to a bunch of White Stripes rejects when I barely want to listen to the White Stripes to begin with?” and “well, I guess this has its charms”. For one, it has real drum parts. “Love Interruption”, “Weep Themselves to Sleep” and “Take Me With You When You Go” were my favorites whereas “Sixteen Saltines” and the cover of “I’m Shakin’” fell a bit flat, especially the later. Overall I thought it was fine, enjoyable even, but not something I’ll listen to again.

so much fun! I love this hard rocking album--all of it

its no white stripes

Jack White doesn't stray that far from his roots, but he sure knows how to produce a commercially successful blues-rock record in the 2010s (which is no small feat). He checks every box that makes music executives salivate. Multiple quadrants activated! I mourn the lack of a rebellious edge here — though even that loss isn't so new for fans of The White Stripes, imo. It's a fine record, even if a little underwhelming on the back half, but I'm not sure it really earns its place in the 1001.

Een grappig fenomeen waar ik mezelf via deze lijst op betrap is dat je soms stopt met ontdekken. Je vind een band gaaf, maar na de eerste 2 releases heb je nooit meer het nieuwe werk van ze opgezocht. Of de hoofdpersoon van een band die je gaaf vind begint een nieuw project, maar blijkbaar is het teveel moeite om het even aan te zetten. Soms doe ik het nog wel, bijvoorbeeld bij Turnstile, IDLES, Linkin Park of Sticks check ik de nieuwe releases altijd wel, maar bij heel veel artiesten lijkt het teveel moeite te zijn. Ik vraag me af of dat luiheid van mijn kant is, of dat veel artiesten na hun grootste succes te lang blijven aanmodderen met een soort afnemend rendement tot gevolg. Anyway, ik wil alleen aangeven dat ik dit nooit heb gecheckt. The White Stripes kende ik e.e.a wel van en vond ik gaaf. Van The Raconteurs ken ik alleen 'Steady As She Goes' nog en ergens daarna heb ik Jacques Wit blijkbaar losgelaten. Onterecht, want dit is best een dik album ontdek ik vandaag. Het wordt geen 100% score, want de tragere, rustigere nummers doen me veel te weinig (bijvoorbeeld de titel-track), maar een deel van het album is potverdikkie aangenaam.

this genuinely made me angry

Ich könnte so viel über Jack White schreiben. Einer meiner favorite Artists ever aber dieses Album ist nicht der Grund :( Ich mag das Album es ist Goofy af aber manchmal trotzdem taff aber manchmal auch nicht. Ich finde diese Jack White Era klingt so als ob er sich über alte Leute Musik lustig machen würde aber ich glaub das will er gar nicht.. ja keine Ahnung funny aber sein bestes werk

Blunderbuss is a fine successor to The White Stripes' efforts, even if it doesn't rock as hard.

Dig it! Nothing mind blowing though, little surprised to find it here

Thos dude is the top best musician in the world in rock and I love Muse but this guy has a mind that compares to nothing. All so gs are great and not one sound the same all within rock no change in genre. Its mindblowingly insane.

I love the White Stripes but there’s something missing from his solo stuff. It must be Meg!

We all know Meg didn’t make the band, but The White Stripes just had a magic to them that isn’t present elsewhere. I know that’s not logical, but Jacks talent translates well in his other projects, but the impact isn’t quite the same.

Just a bit ehh, not as exciting as White Stripes

What a hidden gem! I really enjoyed this album and listened multiple times. A mixture of rock, folk (acoustic guitar!), and blues. It really sounds like it was written and recorded in Nashville, with plenty of old-country influence.

After the first couple of songs I was pretty set on the low rating I was going to give this but by the end it was actually alright

Could have been worse. Some effort went into the lyrics, the tunes have some decent melodies. Not something I want to hear again though

Very nice. Loved the variety of styles and throwback vibes

Take Me With You When You Go

I know Blunderbuss was well received—and a GRAMMY darling. I like White’s vocals, as always. But are the songs . . . especially memorable? Not for me.

Decent. Very decent. My first listen to Jack White after the Stripes. Thanks.

Jack White is among the most important musicians and producers of the 21st century. As a musician his sound varies somewhat depending on who he is working with, which makes his first solo record particularly interesting. We get to hear him let lose with music that is personally inspiring. Oh my, this shit rocks! Simultaneously familiar and experimental, the album flows from one banger to the next. Like many 70s artists we are presented with a mix of traditional styles from rock to blues to country-folk. Yet, nobody would confuse this with anything produced in the 70s, it feels fresh. The more I listened to this album the more I liked it. Incredible!

Rock and Roll, not bad, not that revolutionary either...

Me gustó el sonido, las canciones, la mezcla de rock, blues, folk....

Surprised I’ve never listened to this before, I really enjoyed it

very bias and partial to anything jack white, this one is a little long & not my fave but its still very solid & enjoyable

the black keys could never

7.5 / 10

i'd say you get what you expect from a jack white album

Scho Banger, hat mich sehr abgeholt obwohl ich sei stimme eig net so mag

nice gitarrs, annoying voice

Kinda mediocre.

I like Jack White a lot. This was a pretty damn solid album. But I'm not sure why this is the one that made this list. What I like is that his songs are diverse and he isn't afraid to take chances.

gostei bem, mas acho que não vou ouvir muito ele não

YAS so good, a classic

kinda liked this more than i thought i wld thought a fun mix of sounds/vibes 3.5

I do not care how much crap Jack White or White Stripes get on this site - or if there are to many White Stripe Albums. This album can DAMN ROCK! From cover to cover - it is not stop rock and blues at its finest - there is no taking his foot off the pedal, no weak points, no filler.

Loved this. Such variety in the songs, it never got boring. I can see why some might not like Jack White's voice but since I am rather partial to rock n roll tenors, I like it. The lyrics are poetry, clearly sung. The instrumentation is tight and punchy and full.

Midway through the album, I realised, while looking at the album artwork, that this is Jack White from the While Stripes. This was an okay album, but definitely nothing too exciting. It was alright leaving it in the background though.

Enjoyed that

Intriguing! Jack White would appear to be something of a genius - and a prolific content producer. I by contrast am nerdy nobody record reviewer - oh well. Does this album hang together? Not sure. Definitely contains some interesting/impressive songs - but I feel a slight ennui, like he could turn in 5 songs a day without breaking a sweat, so does he really "mean it"? (Would he remember all of these songs to play them live in 10 years time? Yes, quite possibly.) Would I like these better if it was a concept album?? Side point time. "On April 1, 2012, Third Man Records released 1000 helium balloons attached to flexi disc copies of 'Freedom at 21'. Third Man Records described the stunt as 'an experiment exploring non-traditional forms of record distribution and a way to get records in the hands of people who don't visit record shops'." Not sure if I can sensibly hold this against the album as an album, but it's yuck. (Seems like Third Man Records was a Jack White show?) 2012 is a thoroughly late year to be so careless about putting detritus in the sky ... Overall, for the quality of some of the individual songs, I'll rate it Good, 7/10.

The most interesting things he made were rooted in guitar and sounded like they were bashed out in a day so no this overproduced piano album does not whet my whistle.

Thoroughly enjoyed this album. He brings a bunch of different styles together and his voice is somehow on key and nice while also being super unique. I need to listen to more Jack White. Fave songs: Missing Pieces, Love Interruption

Actually a great album. Top song: Trash Tongue Talker. Honorable mentions to old favs: sixteen saltines, I’m shakin’ (karaoke song??), missing pieces.

A few hidden gems in here, big fan of Jack White so I hope some Stripes show up later on in this list

I’m not keen on the white stripes but I think I prefer this, still not really for me but definitely a couple of listen-able tracks

I liked this album for the most part, but I preferred the White Stripes albums on this list. I’ll give this one a high three.

Favorite thing about Jack White is you can really hear all of his influences in his music but it never feels stolen. Always feels like appreciation. This was edging on a 5 for me but I was waiting for one track to blow me away and none really did. That being said, it's still a fire record. Highlights: I'm Shakin, Sixteen Saltines

Cool musicality, voice and lyrics are just cringe.

Good album, raw but this is a good thing.

Maybe the best modern blues album I've heard. Unmistakenly Jack White but with the freedom of a solo artist to make his own strange take on one of the oldest subgeneras of rock. Instant favourite, will be listening again and again.

Good, very mixed sounds, sounds a bit like left over white stripes?

This was pretty cool. Guy has some talent

Same with everything Jack White touches, this suffers from him thinking he’s so clever and that being the focus.

Nah… isn’t my type. I didn’t even listen to it

Don't like only-instrumental musiv

Might be the bias for Michigan boys talking but this is genuinely all bangers for me.

I liked this. The sound is raw and gritty but just enough that works for me. Great hits with Sixteen Saltines that I knew before and Love Interruption. The sleeper hit was Take Me With You When You Go with the Take Five inspired beat. I'll be curious to see if a full White Stripes album hits even better for me.

Pretty great solo album by Jack, not nearly as good as the best White Stripes but I’ll still likely listen to it again sometime

Eh, the it can sound pretty cool at time but don't think I vibe with his voice or lyrics at all. it's very, no thank you.

Was ok, kept thinking the sound is Billy Joel/Robert Plant mash up

Overall I liked this album but most of what I liked fell in the beginning. The last part of the album lost me, it felt repetitive.

abwechslungsreich, stimmig - und einfach jack white!

It's good, but none of the songs are fire.

Listened previously. Expectations: Mid - Verdict: Good - Solo Jack White uses more colours on his palette than The White Stripes and it makes for a fun sound. His songwriting is solid as ever and the riffs and general guitar work is fantastic. Like TWS, the softer stuff here is good, I like the title track. I'm Shakin' is simple but good. Solid album.

3.5. This is a very difficult one for me to grade. This would be a four for basically any artist, but I’m grading on a Jack White scale. I gave a four to “white blood cells”, and this doesn’t quite reach those peaks. But, every track is awesome, and it was a great way to kick off Jack’s solo career. Worthy of his legacy and catalog, but not quite classic.

on paper... i should like this. but i don't. it just comes off as very false and i'm not into it.

Seems like rock/blues to me - I'm not super into it but get what they're trying to do. I don't love his voice. There are a few fun songs.

Unmistakably Jack White but also didn't leave a lasting impression. It's all okay but ultimately unmemorable.

It's okay, sadly doesn't sound as well as The White Stripes did. The lack of Meg White is very much audible through the record.

Was never big on Jack White or White Stripes Best: Love Interruption Worst: Sixteen Saltiness, I Guess I Should Go To Sleep

Me gustó mucho este álbum. Es un artista que no conocía y, la verdad, me sorprendió bastante su estilo. Me parece muy interesante cómo fusiona géneros como el country, el blues y el rock and roll, e incluso en algunos temas se acerca al hard rock, lo cual le sienta muy bien. También destaco el timbre de voz del vocalista, que aporta mucha personalidad al conjunto. Mis canciones favoritas del álbum fueron “Sixteen Saltines”, “Love Interruption”, “Blunderbuss”, “I’m Shakin’”, “I Guess I Should Go To Sleep”, y especialmente “Take Me With You When You Go”, que fue la que más me gustó. En resumen, le doy un 8/10.

Cool, haven't listened to his solo stuff. Not sure why this is SEMINAL though.

Okay not great. Didn't like his voice.

Without a doubt, worth a good listen. This album is awesome, I remember listening to it on repeat riding through cockburn when it came out. Jack white loves music, and he’s damn good at it.

Once again, this is just not the music that I like. I liked a few of the songs but I don’t see myself going back to listen to them. I like the following songs: Trash Tongue Talker On And On And On Take Me With You When You Go

Meh.

Really liked this!

Me ha gustado este rock and roll 2012

Jack white es muy bueno y creo que lo tenia underrated la verdad, buen album no muy trascendental

I always liked the white stripes and various other JW projects. This was not bad, I liked the variety with little bits of ragtime thrown in. Probably not going on heavy rotation but may revisit. 3.7

Sixteen Saltines

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this since his Sister-Wife wasn't on the album, afaik. But it does feel like the logical extension of the white stripes. Favorite Track: Freedom At 21

Blunderbuss is Jack White's debut solo album. I probably will not like it because I never liked his voice. I did not really like any of the songs. I thought the music was okay to good, but the vocals do nothing for me. Overall, if you like White's former band The White Stripes, then you will probably love this album; it is literally the same as all his previous work. The album incorporates blues rock, folk, and country soul. 5/10.

It’s a cool album for sure - Jack White knows how to handle a guitar. Blues isn’t turned up all the way but is still definitely present.

Some of it was good, some of it was unremarkable. Probably wouldn't listen to it again, but I enjoyed it.

Sounds like Jack White but less rock-y than I expected. Overall it's fine to listen to but nothing special.

La voz del hombre es un poco alterada y con subibajas

I get completely lost when I hear his guitar riffs, he is an absolute artist, lost in his world, and from the White Stripes to his solo work, and everything in between, Jack always delivers 100% and then some extra on top 💙

it’s good I like it the fast tempo is nice I like the instrumentation wow amazing

Love Jack White but his non-White Stripes projects have never hit me the same way. He's a good songwriter but I much preferred the rawness of the White Stripes' first 3 albums and have never loved what he did in his later career quite as much.

8/10

I had only heard Love Interruption before, but enjoyed a lot of other tracks here. Good mix of blues and more mellow country stuff. Light 4.

Actually rather good

В соло неплох парень

Love hearing Azar’s drumming when she’s allowed to let loose, but White is just kinda...there’s always been something imitative about his entire deal, a cover band all but in name, and he simply hasn’t recovered whatever made the early Stripes songs stand apart.

Didn't grab me, seemed very samey, minor chords and country vibes.

Very excited to see this pop up after a run of unfamiliar artists. Interesting enough I only have Sixteen Saltines from this album saved to my playlist, so I guess I've never listened through it. I love the lyricism of Weep Themselves to Sleep. Tasty guitar work on Take Me With You When You Go. All around great album, will continue to spin it up when I'm in the mood.

Like the White Stripes' Elephant album, this has a lot of great vintage sounds with songs that I could largely take or leave. There are some winners here, for sure, and overall I enjoyed this more than Elephant, but it's still not something that I'm likely to put into heavy rotation.

I gave the white stripes album 2 stars but enjoyed this a lot more. Lack of Meg White? Seems a bit harsh. Jacl White has an infectious energy about his playing for sure but there’s an experimentsl playfulness to this album that is fun and i think the broader range of musicians in the band allow gor ideas to be abit more fully realised, not so one dimensional.

Every year since the 2008 merger that created SiriusXM, the company's executives have convened a conclave of Nothin'-But-Rock radio station DJs within the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pyramid in Cleveland, Ohio, to determine which white rock artist artist will earn the sought-after "We're Still Keepin' The Ol' Flame Alive, That's Right, We Still Love Makin' Good Ol' Fashin' Rock n' Roll Records, Man, Nunna't Computer Shit, Strait Fuckin' Tone" trophy. In addition to the trophy, the SiriusXM executives bequeath a special honor to the victor: the coveted slot on all NBR radio stations, right after "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin and before "Black Betty" by Ram Jam, occupied by a choice cut from the most Grammy-bait rock album of the current year. Released in December 2011 and thus narrowly entering the running for the 2012 trophy, The Black Keys' "El Camino" was poised to clear the vote by a country mile. "This record saved my radio station!" cried Dick Dice of 101.01 VKROQ Nothin'-But-Rock, out of Lebanon, New Hampshire, during deliberations. "It's fuckin' mayhem out there! There's been a line of slightly older young folks foaming at the gaht damn mouth lined up outside my station fer weeks! I don't even know what they want!" declared Ken Cox of 213.25 KROW Nothin'-But-Rock, out of Bend, Oregon. Just as the conclave was about to cast their ballots, a jet black charter bus with "Romney 2012" emblazoned on the side tore into the pyramid, coming to a screeching halt in front of the cloistered DJs. The door opened, revealing an impeccably dressed Mitt, holding an LP of Jack White's debut "Blunderbuss" up to the sky like Excalibur. "Y'all gotta hear this thing, man, been tearing it up on the trail, folks dig it" he declared suavely. The record began blaring from the bus sound system, which had been custom-made for a lackluster bass response, "can't stand those cars drivin' around rattlin' my windows with their boosted subs," as Mitt and his staff walked around the room with binders full of "Blunderbuss" CDs, handing them out in stacks of ten. "This record hasn't got even a lick of soul! Gimme ten more!" screamed Chris Drong (512.34 BRIQ Nothin'-But-Rock, Wichita, Kansas). "This reminds me of how Sgt. Peppers sounded before my fuckin’ lobotomy!" declared Kyle Brick (96.2 WROK Nothin'-But-Rock, Charleston, South Carolina). By the time the record was over, The Black Keys' slopsterpiece had been all but wiped from the pyramidal hivemind, and "Blunderbuss" won the trophy by a unanimous vote. 1.5

whatever man. title track and weep themselves to sleep are cool i guess but i'd honestly just rather listen to the bands he's ripping off

motherfucker. generator. what. dumb assholes fail to realize meg white adds angularity to jack white's black keys² impulses. i have no need for blues revival when i can just. listen to the blues. idk. he's always had late stage Eminem levels of aura to me. which makes anytime he tries to do hard rock stuff silly. unlike a qotsa. who're dorks. but cool. or john mayer. who's an actual asshole. im shakin'. that's the statement. an addendum: this nigga is a CORNBALL. track 3 cool. track 5-6. tracks 9-12. why'd he put the good songs (ballady stuff. he can write a ballad i can't lie.) at the end he's just maybe. Maybe. fought his way out of a 2. first review is so right though. fuck it. 2.5-3.8

It’s ok. I like the mix, and a couple tracks. Nothing mind blowing to me and not something I’m likely to return to but wouldn’t be mad if I heard it randomly somewhere.

muy bien

Got already

Just a really solid album. If you like the White Stripes you'll like this, and I like the White Stripes.

A fine mix of excellent rock, with influence from many decades. Just the way I like it. 4.5/5

Solid

This fella is a genius. So unique and different. One of his better albums if possible as he’s done nothing weak. Some great riffs, and indescribable sounds with JW’s falsetto. This has a higher replayability factor. Tracks like the grandiose Weep Themselves To Sleep, riff-tastic Sixteen Saltines, funky I’m Shakin. There’s enough big tunes to make this a top album 4.6/5.

Some great singles. Some nice variation. Tails off a bit in the second half. Solo Jack is just below the White Stripes and well below the Raconteurs.

never listen to a full album of his but i enjoyed this

I really want to like jack whites solo stuff. I love a lot of the white stripes stuff and the first raconteurs album is incredible, but I find his solo stuff less interesting. Like a cool riff might start but it either stops too quickly or he'll put some other instrument along with it that destroys the impact the riff had in the first place. I keep trying. I remember seeing him play at Glastonbury as a solo artist and it was just boring to watch, he was clearly enjoying himself, but it was quite self indulgent and it didn't feel like they were performing for the audience. Compare that seeing the white stripes and the raconteurs and the difference is huge, he can be so captivating when he wants to be. Alas. I don't dislike it, but it does little for me. A low 3.

Okay

Perhaps if I enjoyed Jack White's voice more, I might be able to examine his lyrics more closely. And if I enjoyed his guitar tone more, I might be able to pay closer attention his songcraft. But I struggle to do either. The melodies tend to follow the same template, eating up all the metric space available. The riffs are practiced garage and blues shapes, usually with a little twist to justify the publishing royalties, but not so much as to suggest he isn't part of a seasoned tradition. As a figure, I find him inscrutable, but singularly uninteresting. Meg was the interesting one in the White Stripes and it's significant that the songs that sound best here have him backed by female vocalists. This may even be what the lyrics are about - there is definitely something about women going on here - but I get the feeling the game isn't worth the candle. 1.5 That thing he does. Jack White, yet again, with a volley of absolutely worthless non-songs. The addition of competent musicians this time round makes no difference to the artistic emptiness of White’s shtick. 0/5

A bit more mellowed out in comparison to the White Stripes era, I don't know the solo stuff before this (if there is any) but quite enjoyable. Extra points for the vulture on the cover.

A shame what became of Jack White after The White Stripes ended. The music on Blunderbuss is dull, mediocre and average at best. But still not as bad as what is to come with the spoken word rapping shit he devotes himself to in the following years.

The guy can rock!

Solid album start to finish.

I think I've never heard this one? I remember not liking the singles off of Lazaretto and not successfully listening to Boarding House. I did listen to Fear of the Dawn and No Name which I liked and then never listened to again. I should have and maybe I will after this! Oh ! this one is fine.

alors j'ai bien aimé mais c'est pas le coup de coeur, mais ça reste cool à réécouter peut-être que ça cliquera

Incredibly not for me. Jack White has good songs, but there's only like one on this album in my opinion.

Missing Pieces: no es mi estilo, ya no me gusta como suena el cantante. Sixteen Saltines: muy rock, osea no me gusta. Freedom At 21: no me gusta nada, tipo me taladra mucho la cabeza. Love Interruption: por ahora es la que mas me gusto, pero me sigue taladrando. Blunderbuss: esta es la que mas me gusto, pero creo que es porque es la mas tranquila. Hypocritical Kiss: qsy no es mi estilo para nadisima no se si me copan mucho Weep Themselves To Sleep: meh, igual que las demas, misma opinion. I'm Shaking: creo que es la que mas onda tiene, pero otra vez, no es mi estilo. Trash Tongue Talker: otra vez me gusto la onda, pero no la escucharia para ninguna situacion en especifico. Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy: lo mismo esta creo que fue de las que mas me gusto. I Guess I Should Go To Sleep: esta no esta mal, no me molesto On And On And On: meh, flojo estribillo. Take Me With You When You Go: arrancando me gusto, hasta que se escucharon las voces que spn flojas no lo siguiente. En conclusion, no me gusto. no escucharia ninguna de las canciones en ningun momento de mi vida. entiendo igual que a alguien le puedan gustar, pasa que no es mi estilo en absoluto.

Highlights: Missing Pieces, Love Interruption, Weep Themselves to Sleep, Take Me with You When You Go

Я не знаю кто этот Джек Блэк из зазеркалья и очень удивлен что нечто из 2012 звучит как что-то что мне нравится

После распада группы Джек Уайт как будто раскрепостился и стал делать более разнообразную музыку. Что странно, ведь вряд ли в White Stripes его кто-то ограничивал. Тем не менее, его сольные альбомы мне кажутся более интересными, чем альбомы любой из его групп. И первый же его сольник уже показывает это разнообразие и более продвинутую музыку, смещая акцент с сырого гаражного звучания white stripes на более акустические многогранные аранжировки. Ну и сами песни не подкачали. Особенно люблю Love Interruption и Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy. Еще забавно, что буквально пару дней назад вспоминал в положительном ключе его версию Love Is Blindness, и тут сразу альбом с ней, правда на спотике почему-то нет, видимо она в делюкс-издании.

Восемнадцатилетняя я в год выхода альбома жесткого его хайпила. Переслушала впервые за миллион лет и вспомнила всего две песни. Если бы это написал кто-то другой, мне бы понравилось больше.

Все, что делает Джек Уайт, абсолютно мимо меня

Лучшая песня: Sixteen Saltines Худшая: Take me with you when you go Ну, нормально. Наверно, если бы не фоном слушал, была бы другая оценка, а так нормально, только пара песен прям не оч, хоть и качает почти всегда

хороший альбом, зная половину песен с него - думал, что это с каких-то других его проектов. мне сложно разделять racounters/jack white/white stripes, все слилось вместе, dead weather по голосу мосхарт можно отличить хоть... а так 4ка

Не слушала вообще White Stripes, но сольное творчество Джека обожаю. Пришла к альбому через группу The Dead Weather (очень любила Эллисон Моссхарт, а тогда был период, когда я маньячила дискографиями). Меня поразило богатство аранжировок и какой-то луизианский вайб по сравнению с тем, что я слышала от супергруппы. С удовольствием переслушала и подумала, что нужно приобрести винил в коллекцию

Overall good album that you feel good while listening.

Not my favorite Jack White album, but enjoyable.

Love me some Jack White. Was not disappointed. 5.

Very cool, never heard any of his solo stuff before.

Love interruption Trash tongue talker Weep themselves to sleep Take me with you when you go Freedom at 21 Sixteen saltines Blunderbuss Hip (eponymous) poor boy Missing pieces

Bastante sin más. No creo que 2012 deje lugar para el rock de los 70.

All of his songs sound exactly the same and that does not bother me one bit. One of my favorite concerts I have ever attended. Jack White hell yea Best Song: Love Interruption Rating: 7.5/10 Stars: 4

Buen álbum, sin embargo, muy variado, es bueno para estar en un viaje, sea en bus o metro, mas no encuentro que sea para escuchar en casa.

I really enjoy some of Jack White’s older stuff, has a good raw edge to it.

No es malo pero es un embole si sos como yo y no todo el rock blues te suena igual 6,5/10

Really cool album that I didn’t know previously. I’ll be listening again.

I'd not listed to Jack White (outside of the White Stripes) until this album. The album is OK but I lost concentration a number of times and then wondered why I was listening to the Rolling Stones! The Stones aren't one of my goto groups and I don't think I'll seek out more Jack White, although I wouldn't turn it off if it was offered as part of a playlist.

It was fine. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t really like it either. His voice can be grating at times but the music was decent enough.

Solid rock and roll music throughout the album. The vocals at times gave vibes of the White Stripes but also of Led Zepplin as times as well. An enjoyable listen for a first pass at Jack White.

I appreciate that Jack White is an auteur of great reknown these days but this feels much more like sonic searching than it does and sort of discoveries. He’s at his best when the music is clean and clear, whether the orchestration is minimal or extravagant - See Ball and Biscuit or You Dont Know What Love Is or Level or I Cut Like a Buffalo or The Air Near My Fingers.

I like a few of Jack Whites bands, but I don't think I've actually ever listened to a Jack White solo album prior to this one. I'm pretty blown away, this ranks as one of my new favorites. I like low tech, beat heavy garage rock in general and I think Jack White is one of the very best of the genre. His voice has a percussive feel and sounds like he is somehow harmonizing with himself. Most importantly he writes great songs. The album follows a simple formula, but Jack incorporates a few interesting tricks making his sound uniquely his own. Grooved to this most of the day, and expect to revisit again sooner than later.

arranca bien pero cuando se pone muy bluesero zzzz

When treated as a stand-alone album, leaving The White Stripes comparisons at the door, this is an dynamic album with plenty of pathos.

Great

Some would say quintessential Jack White but I would say typical. An okay 3.

Jack White is a musical genius! (I'm mad at this website now because I just wrote to quite long, detailed reviews and neither show up now. I saw them and now they're gone. I took a few days off so I wouldn't punch the screen. So, sadly you're getting a short, non-detailed love note to Jack White here.) This album took me a minute to fall for. After the White stripes, this was a little jarring. But now I love it. The first song that brought me in was "I'm Shakin'" It's great. You should give the original by Little Willie John a listen for fun. Great album all the way through. Just experimental enough. Just rock enough. 5 star album!

Alright, time for another solo album from a member of a band that already has albums on this list! Here we have Blunderbuss, the solo debut of former White Stripes frontman Jack White. Now, I've reviewed a grand total of 3 White Stripes album for this album project, and I think they're all pretty good. I gave all of them 4s after all. How does Blunderbuss compare to them? Not quite as well, but this is still good. Blunderbuss is a solid album, but there's something about it that I'm not as big on. Something's missing here. Is it Meg? I don't know. Maybe. She is pretty talented, but Jack is also quite talented in his own right. Maybe it's the lack of any killer classic songs. You think about the White Stripes albums and they have some all-time classics. "Seven Nation Army," "Fell In Love With a Girl," "Blue Orchid." Great songs. Blunderbuss doesn't really have anything on that level. It's got some good songs, don't get me wrong. "Sixteen Saltines," "Love Interruption," and "I'm Shakin'" are pretty good. The album doesn't have any real duds either. However, I can't really see these songs sticking in my head for super long, you know? I will say that Jack does use this album as a way to experiment with things quite a bit. I definitely have respect for that, even if it makes the album feel a little tiny bit scattershot as a whole. The lyrics are definitely more focused though, with a clear focus on relationships and the end of relationships especially. I think he does it fairly well, but not perfectly. Overall, Blunderbuss is an admirable effort, though I don't think it quite holds a candle to his best work with the White Stripes. High 3/5.

not bad

I enjoyed this. For the most part, nice bluesy-rock throwback. Definitely toned down from the White Stripes.

pas horrible, pas dingue, pas sur de réécouter, pas de bitches etc...

Harmless music

Jack White is actually white, not confusing like Jack Black

not the white stripes but decent songs

Not for me.

His voice can get a bit screechy for me, but I love the overall vibe of the sound

It's more of a 3.5, so I'll round up. Nothing much to say about it though.

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the two White Stripes albums I'd listened to on this site, and now the same has happened with this album. It was a real grower. I wouldn't rush out to buy it, or put it on my 'wants' list - but that is not to say it wasn't very good. Fair fucks, this guy has got some talent.

Some songs better, some not my taste.

It might not be quite as good as his stuff in the White Stripes, but it's still really good. Interesting to see how he adapts to the more intricate drumming without Meg White (Not to say Meg White isn't great. She's an all timer, just he style is very simplistic, which is what The White Stripes needed). A lot more intricate on the guitar and other instruments. Very good album though.

I’m tired of writing reviews. This was fine.

Nothing I really liked too much, decent sound just didn’t catch myself getting into any of the songs
