I couldn't get into this at all.
liked it more than white stripes
He’s a distinct voice and that’s always a tricky thing for a soloist before or after being in a band. Unless there’s a big shift in musical style. Precursor for Whitestripes. Enjoyed it
I found myself liking this more than I was expecting to. Quite a good listen this one.
Probably Jack’s best solo album but I do prefer the White Stripes and Raconteurs. Love Interruption and Hypocritical Kiss are the highlights of a very solid album.
Starts off really well, distinctively Jack White and with more variation of styles and it all seems really well thought out and played. And then I just start losing interest halfway through, and to be honest I didn’t feel like I wanted listen to it again. Which I think is my experience with all his solo stuff, other than the excellent ‘No name’. I think the simplistic explanation is I just like his full rocking out stuff better.
Jack White walks through the styles and identifies with them and also lets them identify with him. It's energizing, it's rock and it is roll too. I just think that Jack White sometimes feel to extrovert in its style. It is the equivalent to an actor who practices overacting. Less would be more. I still enjoyed it though!
Decent
Jack white is so good. Whoever sings backup on the last track is so good.
Musically, some of this album was interesting. The use of Piano throughout this album really struck me. It was as if they had hired a Saloon piano player from a Cowboy, Western movie. A nice listen. 3 stars. Would I listen again? No Would I buy this album? No 1 "Missing Pieces" - 03:27 - Catchy melody. Jack White's voice always seems to take me by surprise, if I haven't listened to him for a while, and I haven't. It doesn't always rest easy on my ears. Great keyboards/organ. - 3* 2 "Sixteen Saltines"- 02:37 - Good riff. - 3* 3 "Freedom at 21"- 02:51- Interesting song. I don't quite know why but it had less of the Jack White signature sounds, so I guess that's it. - 4* 4 "Love Interruption"- 02:38 - A little more bluesy. Nice melody. - 3* 5 "Blunderbuss"- 03:06 - Oh, nice introduction. Lovely piano. Nice song - 4* 6 "Hypocritical Kiss"- 02:50 - 3* 7 "Weep Themselves to Sleep"- 04:19 - Again, lovely piano introduction. - 3* 8 "I'm Shakin'"- 03:00 - Dramatic. The best song so far. The use of Piano, again, is excellent. If you played me the guitar solo, in isolation, it would have been instantly recognisable as Jack White. - 4* 9 "Trash Tongue Talker"- 03:20 - Rock n Roll. Nice backing vocals. - 3* 10 "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy"- 03:03 - Nice jangly piano - 3* 11 "I Guess I Should Go to Sleep"- 02:37 3* 12 "On and On and On"- 03:55 - Part of the vocal and piano melody reminded me of "On Broadway". - 3* 13 "Take Me with You When You Go"- 04:10 - This has a 1960s Burt Bacharach feel to the melody, until the guitars kick in but vocally it jars at this point. - 3* Total - 42 Average - 3.23
Great stuff. I really liked the addition of the piano in a few of the songs.
Liked it more than i thought it would, the end is too folky for me but it started strong
ehh its ok
Jack White is a boss. Love his work.
Skapligt, men gillar mest de som jag redan hört
how is this remarkable in any way?
it was alright
Jack White is marmite and I’m still gorged from Michelin stars.
Enjoyed it.
Fine. Sixteen Saltines goes hard, but some of the rest is reasonably average. Not much sticks. Not terrible, not great. A shame, cos I loved The White Stripes.
🌟 Rating: 4.4/5 🎧 Short Review: This album is like if an electric guitar got dumped and started journaling. Jack White goes full mad scientist here—blending blues, country, baroque pop, and hissy fits into one chaotic love letter to heartbreak. 🔥 Favorite Track: “Love Interruption” It sounds like someone trying to seduce a ghost with a tambourine and an emotional breakdown. ⚙️ Consistency With Me: 8.6/10 Jack White and I both like to deconstruct things until they’re weird and compelling—he just does it with instruments and I do it with your personality flaws. Would listen again. Ideally while dramatically fixing a vintage typewriter with no real plan.
It's a very Jack White album. Some great jams, some ponderous hipster crap.
Not a bad album by any means, but completely undeserving of a place in this list
meh
I admire Jack White. I wish I could love him.
Sounds like someone rounded some of the rougher edges off an early white stripes album. It's a good album but made my maybe appreciate those rough edges a little more than be convinced by this.
Versatile album, with a lot of good songs, nothing special.
I owe Jack White an apology. I was never into The White Stripes, so I just kind of assumed his solo work wouldn't be for me either. Turns out Blunderbuss is a solid album. The title track has this unexpected pedal steel part that really works, and from “Weep Themselves to Sleep” onward, it’s just banger after banger. The second half of the album especially surprised me — way more soulful and melodic than I expected. Definitely changed my opinion on Jack White.
Evil Jack Black be like:
I like a lot of the music here, but I really do not like Jack's singing on most of these songs. It just doesn't fit the tracks, like when you hear a cover of a song you like and the new singer's voice just sounds too different to enjoy. And I don't have anything against his voice, I do like it on The White Stripes albums. But I think the difference is that WS albums are very raw, minimal, and scrappy, qualities that his vocals complement a great deal better. The fuller, more layered tracks on Blunderbuss just don't work as well. I'll also add that a few of the songs felt too derivative of Jack's obvious influences.
Grown man singing like an angsty teen Terrible lyrics trash songwriting Awful guitar tone that sounds like nails on a chalkboard Terrible listening expierence. Not sure why its on this list, I deffinitly didnt need to listen to this album in my life time. Waste of my time 0/10 trash. 🙃
Jack White is always solid. He’s got his own style and really puts out interesting stuff. Can’t not look when he’s playing .
All the right sounds, nothing to raise my pulse: Jack White’s heritage garage rock is closer to Clapton’s mid-period blues than The Stooges etc. One brighter moment is when he appears to be channeling Meatloaf, a revolution in context. He has a knack for riffs that are a note, pause or switch-up away from memorable. His rhyming couplets drive me nuts.
More from the "I own this somehow but have never heard it" drawer. Sounds pretty good, better than the latter White Strips records, if far from groundbreaking; s'OK.
It was okay. Did not get all the way through.
Strong album. Will get better with multiple listens, I imagine.
Not a fan.
Enjoyed listening to it, but I've already forgotten all the songs. Not very memorable.
good
Great album
One or 2 memorable songs
This was a pretty solid album. I got a little burnt out on The White Stripes, so when I first approached Jack White’s solo work, I expected more of the same, but he really did a great job here. This album still carries his signature blues rock style, with touches of country woven throughout, but what stood out most to me was the raw production. It gives the album a warm, analog feel that really adds to the experience.
A very solid album, but it is missing that extra bite the White Stripes had. Mid 4.
Certified banger after certified banger.
ok rock. Light. Groovy. Not my style
Classic Jack White! Loved the bluegrass and country blendings with rock and funk! Gives it a novelty that is sorely missing across contemporary pop music.
It was ok
Enjoyable
Interesting. Not much outstanding, but definitely more than a background listen
Jack White being Jack White for the first time solo created a wonderfully eclectic sound. I’d only heard a song or two of this album previously. I will definitely listen cover to cover again!
It was good + I liked Fever - but it was hard to listen to the whole thing cuz I kept losing interest. Very good jam but not my jam
Great album! I really liked Love Interruption.
Pretty good garage rock, but nothing really stands out for me. His new album no name is better imho
Nothing really jumps out on this JW solo. Never quite as exciting as the WS. Has the feeling of being the soundtrack to a musical.
Kjedelig
Love this album one of his best.
Good album but not something I would listen to on repeat.
Raw guitar sound
I've been lukewarm on his music though I appreciate him as both a cultural force and and as an advocate of music production. This album was pretty solid. When Jack makes music, it sort of feels like a very careful graduate student showing you that he knows exactly how to do it. I guess that's my complaint?
This was almost a 4, some good tracks mixed in with what felt a bit more like filler. Worthy of a bit more of a listen but there were a few too many distracting elements such as the pronunciation of 'im nervous ' on the otherwise excellent 'I'm Shakin' Top track: Keep themselves to sleep
It’s ok. Not as bad as I remembered. Some great tracks. Still not a patch on the first three White Stripes albums and not even as good as his latest album No Name
It seems Jack had lots of ideas coming into this album. Some them come off really well, others needed to be more refined. all the same an exciting solo debut.
I always want to like Jack White better than I do, but it’s hard to avoid the fact that every song sounds the same. Cool grooves, great guitar tones and playing, passionate vocals, but a monotonous listen. This wasn’t the case with the White Stripes. What happened?
6/10 Jack White is good and so is this album 6-15-2025
Not for me but not terrible
I have to admit, I was not a big White Stripes fan, so when Jack White started doing solo projects, I only kind of paid attention. I do know some of the songs off Blunderbuss but never heard the whole album. It’s weird, there isn’t one thing I can point to that I don’t like on Blunderbuss. I just know I don’t want to listen to these songs over and over again. The music is good. The production is good. The lyrics seem good. However, this album just doesn’t grab my attention. I think Jack is talented and I feel like I should like and appreciate his art more and yet I just can’t seem to get there. Blunderbuss is a 3 rating for me. 3/5
Better than I expected. Enough of a difference from The White Stripes
As someone who is fond of The White Stripes, I had no idea Jack White had a solo career, and dare I say this is a long lost White Stripes album. It's a 1970s Hard Rock album that was transported to the year 2012, and it will rock your socks off. Favorite Track: "Take Me With You When I Go".
I’ve never listened to this album. The first track opening not what I expected at all. And then it’s gifts to what I expect from Jack white. I’m digging this already. This album is such an amazing blend between old time classic sounds and modern sounds. What does it is the songs are solid. It’s modern production without making it sound like it is fixed in a time. Classic riffs and vocal harmony. I love this album. Great album!!
Good
I don't necessarily dislike it...but, I don't necessarily like it either.
Nathan-Liked it Tyler-No strong feelings
I know of the White Stripes and like Seven Nation Army but never felt inspired to buy anything of theirs, so you can imagine my ennui when faced with this BUT I loved it. Really different but with beautiful melodies. I normally compare musical acts to others but couldn't for the life of me think of who this reminded me of, which is also a bonus! An unexpected 4*
Not something i want to listen to as an album
drei bis vier
I liked it! Giving blues rock/country/soul. more rock than i would typically go but thoroughly enjoyed, and full tea writing this review after only listening to a few songs
Really good! I liked the piano throughout. Was hoping for more eccentricity like some of his later stuff. I really liked Sixteen Saltiness and Love Interruption.
Solid. Not something I’d listen to again, but all good.
Det e litt rart at æ aldri hørte på det her, men det forsvant kanskje litt i overgangen strømming/nedlasting. Ikke det, det høres ut omtrent som forventa, og det kan hende 2012-Siri hadde vært mer tilbøyelig til å like det, men anno 2025 går det inn det ene øret og ut det andre.
Blunderbuss is the debut solo album by Jack White. But it doesn't feel that way at all. It feels like an album by an experienced solo musician. It expertly features so many different feelings and styles of music. Yet it just feels like a list of singles because there is absolutely no connection between the songs. Each song could be for a different band to play and it feels like a bit of a compilation.
Entertaining. 3/5
Oh, I bought this album on release. Fantastic album. Nearly as good as Elephant. Missing Pieces? Great Sixteen saltines? Also great. Freedom at 21? Great melody Love Interuption? Sweet. Every song is unique, Jack White is supremely talented Even the weaker songs on this album swing. There's also a story here. Our singer starts the album angry, becomes morose through the middle and so forth. Easy 5* album.
I wouldn’t say Jack was breaking any new ground here but it’s enjoyable listen.
For his first solo album, Jack White decided trade the peppermint red-white-black color scheme for blue tones on a low stakes and straightforward record. While it's not bad, it sounds incredibly middle of the road when compared to his White Stripes, or even Raconteurs releases. At the time, I thought this was going to the way for him going forward, and the next album Lazaretto didn't prove me wrong. However, after that, White seemed to have hit some sort of stride and once again started experimenting with wilder ideas and showing he is still one of the most vital rock musicians working today. Key tracks: Sixteen Saltines Love Interruption Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy
niente di particolare
It was okay
This was a decent album. Pretty classic rock for the 2010s.
This stated out a lot better than it ended. The first 4 or 5 tracks are white stripes without any of the things I hate about them (shit drumming, overly simplistic songwriting, deliberately bad production) but then it devolved in to this saloon piano/ironic whisky drinking music that characterized the minimal sound of tue 2010’s. I guess you can give jack white credit for basically reinventing that sound but I still don’t like it. It’s not a terrible record but I can’t deal with the static voice filter, piano banging and 5 note phrases. Not for me but I get why people like it.
But who was playing drums?!?!
Üllataval kombel hakkas peale teist läbi kuulamist rohkem meeldima. Klaver ja hevimad instrumendid klapivad hästi.
I feel like this is the kind of music critics love, Jack is insanely talented and completely shreds the guitar but I can't say it's my favorite music.
8/10 One of the positives of this has been finding out how much I enjoy the various works of Jack White. This is good, a fun genre hop around rock, blues, country. Love the frequent use of almost classical piano, adds a bit of drama. White clearly respects the songwriting of McCartney. Best: Weep Themselves to Sleep
After the prolonged dissolution of The White Stripes, Jack White didn't take long to search for new ventures, namely one under his own name. Blunderbuss comes out blazing, never ceasing its rollicking, modernized blues stomp and stroll until the end. Jack's gift for memorable riffing and cadence continue to permeate here, lending itself to earworms that one wouldn't wish to forget. Never has turning a new leaf while staying consistently true to one's sound look effortless. Favorites: Missing Pieces, Sixteen Saltines, Freedom at 21, Blunderbuss, Weep Themselves to Sleep, I'm Shaking, Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy, I Guess I Should Go to Sleep, Take Me With You When You Go.
Really nice and different
Like the diversity. Need to come back to this one.
Better than I was anticipating, would consider revisiting!
In a word, delightful. Everything about this album was delightful. From the dynamic vocal performances, provocative lyrics (particularly on songs like "Blunderbuss" and "Weep Themselves To Sleep"), Blunderbuss sees Jack White prove why he's such a legend. I could see this becoming one of my personal favorite albums ever as I spend more time with it.
Surprisingly great. Super consistent and very enjoyable.
Loved it.
Nice.
Jack White doing what Jack White does, missing some of the punky flavor of the Stripes in exchange for some classic blues rock with probably too many musicians. It works, its good, it feels like an extension of the Stripes Get Behind Me Satan, but without the charming rough edges that make Satan a great album, this one falls slightly flat. Sixteen Saltines is a White Stripes song with too many guitar fx. Freedom At 21 vocally sounds like Yuno Miles lol, but the production is class. The delay on the drums after the first chorus is ace, however the guitar solo is an abuse of a whammy pedal (despite being a sick solo). Im Shakin was pretty okay until he started pronouncing noi-vuss like that, sounded like a fucking cartoon character lol.

meh
Jake white is a good musician, but he definitely can't sing
this was quite a good album as well.
3.5
Love this album, and just saw him a week ago.
Jack White is at his best when he is being loud and rocking. Many of the White Stripes and The Raconteurs best songs sound best when they are almost coming off the rails. This album has a few songs like that but falls into this dreary bluesy slop that many of his albums do.
I thought I wasn't digging it bc the vocals aren't great, but it ended up fine enough. 2.4.
I remember how hyped up this record was before it was released, and how disappointed I was listening to it for the first time. It's still just as disappointing. Personal enjoyment: 2/5 Relevance to this list: 1/5
Jack White is really talented and one of the few remnants of the 00s garage/rock scene to come away from it still doing creative and interesting things. This one is certainly creative and interesting although I feel he's more in his element in the first half when it's straight up rockers than towards the end when we get more piano and slower paced songs. I don't feel there's loads here to qualify it as a must-hear but it's perfectly good and listenable. I'd probably bump it for his 2024 'No Name' album at this point, if it was up to me.
Never listened to Jack White solo before, just his stuff with the White Stripes. Early on, I'm very into this sound especially on Sixteen Saltines. Blunderbuss is just a really cool song. I thought the 2nd half of the album had some more unique sounding songs, but I was into it all the way through. Probably not enough to give it a 5, but a very strong 4 here. I need to come back for repeated listens.
I don't know how exactly to articulate it, but Jack White is one of those artists who I am grateful for having existed, but I don't get particularly excited to listen to. And yet whenever I do, I usually come away from the project feeling like "that was solid." This was one such album that sounds so very Jack White to its core. Distorted guitar - check. Compressed/fuzzed out vocals - check. Bluesy structures with breakout solos - check. It all feels predictable, but no less enjoyable for that fact. With 5 songs to go, I'm going to call it at a 3. THe only standouts for my ear were I'm Shakin' (mainly because it was a very memorable riff) and Sixteen Saltines (which reminds me vaguely of Hardest Button to Button).
This has been my favorite work from Jack White/White Stripes so far. Definitely a bit more out there with the different instruments than I was expecting.
Jack White is always surprisingly whacky on some of his songs. Such a unique style of songwriting and performing. I have never listened to a solo album by him so i am glad this came up. Just some really cool raw music
I really dig this album. Not as good as some White Stripes but showed some restrained bluesey work from Jack White. Title track is a great one with the pedal steel. Some solid blue rock. Strings were really solid on this one too.
Eipä hassumpi albumi tämä. Pitäisi kuunnella uudelleen paremman kuvan saamiseksi tosin.
Do like this at times but that album as a whole feels a little flat. Maybe that’s the point idk
suiiiiiiiii
Fine, but not interesting to me.
After having listened to "Elephant" and enjoying it i expected to like this album more than i did, Honestly its kind of forgettable and theres too much slow folk stuff her imo. 6/10 Favourite: Sixteen Saltines Least Favourite: Trash Tongue Talker
Jack White's energy and iconic voice are nothing short of contagious and everything he touches is at least solid, but most of these songs seem to be in a rather bit of an awkward position between his harder rocking stuff under the Stripes and his later more experimental ventures. Nonetheless, pretty fun stuff.
Not for me...
Favorites: Sixteen Saltines, Freedom at 21, Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy Jack White struck out on his own a year after The White Stripes fully disbanded in 2011, and I would argue that this is solid work from him though not entirely up to par with The White Stripes’s best. He’s come a long way since even this album, with his recent solo work being much better in quality in my opinion. This was still worth listening to, though.
Liebe Jack White. Dieses Album hat auch viele Tracks dienmir sehr gefallen. Aber wr hat bei weitem bessere Alben
p934. 2012. 5 stars. Fabulous white blues/rock. Not a weak track on this.
As always with Jack White it’s solid, he’s a musician of such talent. However, I felt like there was a bit too much of a gap on a few tracks between the tone set by the band/piano (generally quite chill and a lot would easily fit on a country/generic pop album) and the strong, slightly abrasive vocals. So I’m not sure it quite worked as well as some other albums but still enjoyed it.
Not my favorite. Good for background music I guess, but he can’t really hold a tune very well. But I like the jazz-rock style and he’s not terrible, but he’s certainly not great.
Fairly decent album, some very jerky bluesy rock.
I bought this album when it came out. I remember enjoying it. Listening to it today I found the music kind of irritating. Lyrics like “I want a love that will murder my own mother” (or something like that) a turn off. I guess I’ve moved on.
Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve had back-to-back Jack White-related albums now, but Blunderbuss left me feeling a bit underwhelmed; even after giving it a few chances to land. It’s not a bad album by any stretch; there’s solid musicianship and moments of charm scattered throughout. But overall, it just feels like it’s missing something. The energy and raw edge that usually define Jack White’s work seem a bit diluted here. A decent listen, but not one I’m itching to return to.
I'm pretty unfamiliar with Jack White's solo output, so it was cool to hear this. I've always loved The White Stripes and while this doesn't hit as high as some of those albums, this one has some great moments. Honestly, I'm usually drawn to deeper tracks with his work than the singles, so I dug the 2nd half more. Still a 4 for me!
jack white. gross
2.8 This list has made me realise I can't do Jack White/Stripes. Can't quite put my finger on why. I just find it all extremely dull tbh. Mid album.
Everything about this felt off-putting, hollow and soulless. Based on other reviews this is clearly not a widely held opinion but Jack White just seems kind of shallow and juvenile to me - music, lyrics, themes, vocals, all of it. Particularly stark on this solo album.
1. Missing Pieces: great start, I love his vocals. super unique and fun lyrics, and great bassline. 8/10 2. Sixteen Saltines: AWESOME guitar intro. reminds me of guns n roses and the like. after listening to the whole thing it really reminds me of those kind of bands, fucking great song. 10/10 3. Freedom at 21: I love all of these guitar riffs. they remind me so much of classic rock riffs, and it's awesome. Fun song but pretty basic 7/10 4. Love Interruptions: acoustics now. pretty good, love the backing vocals. sounds like dolly parton. 9/10 5. Blunderbuss: another great slower track. 9/10 6. Hypocritical Kiss: not entirely sold on it bit still a pretty decent track. 7/10 7. Weep Themselves to Sleep: love the piano intro, sounds great with the drums. 8/10 8. I'm Shakin: ehhhh not super impressed. Don't like the instrumentals and don't care much for the lyrics or the sound in general 6/10 9. Trash Tongue Talker: this song feels like a better version of the last track in every way. same kind of vibe, executed way better imo. 9/10 10. Hip Eponymous Poor Boy: pretty repetitive but fun. 7.5/10? 11. I guess I should Go to Sleep: also pretty good. 8/10 12. On and On and On: really slow track but good, love the bassline. great lyrics too, 8/10 13. Take Me With You When You Go: last track. mostly instrumentals but great. goes from slow piano to upbeat guitars and drums, and then the vocals kick in. great fucking track and a great end to the album. 9/10
Sounds EXACTLY what you expect. Is this really one I NEED to hear???
I like Jack White and forget how good he is. I guess I don’t love his stuff but this was a good listen. We need more rock. This is 13 years old and still among the most recent I’ve encountered
Jack White is a talented musician, this album had a couple standout tracks, but not enough to bring me back for a full listen. 3/5
After listening to three The White Stripes albums, now I'm presented with Jack White's solo material, and I have to wonder why. I know that Jack is a very influential figure in rock music, but I think including the former groups records in this list is enough, specially when this album doesn't hit as the others. Although Jack's very recognizable style of singing is present and there's now a variety of instruments in each song, I felt like this album lacks in charisma and power, and it even is a bit inconsistent, but at least is not a bad listen, just forgettable in comparition with His previous works.
Hm I was looking forward to going back to this after loving elephant but I'm struggling to get into it its a bit flat... I liked love interruption? And hypocritical kiss. Okay it's doing something different in these last couple songs. Unfortunately what I suspect it might be doing different on I'm Shakin is being annoying and shit. I kind of like it tho. I've never claimed to have good taste. Hm idk. Idk about this rock n roll thing he's doing. Bit annoying. Dare I use the word trite. Honestly I'm confused mostly. I want to like it but eh, feel like I should hate it but i dont. That should mean a three star rounded up but I want them to be purple or smth. Does. Does that make sense. Fucking no it doesn't Emily. Actually I've just really enjoyed I guess I should go to sleep that was a bit weird. You know what this could grow on me... on and on and on is twangly in a less annoying way. Maybe. Is it just a bit dated is that the main problem. Do I have heatstroke why am I getting so vexed about this Jack White album. Girl stop overthinking and give it a 3.
2000s rock. Alright to listen to, not very interesting. Like the piano a lot.
Some songs good. Others, not my jam.
I think I finally figured out what it is about Jack White that I increasingly do not like - everything he does seems like an affectation and the more you notice it, the more you notice it, until the only thing you can see is him doing affectations. And that makes watching him an exercise in secondhand embarrassment.
Overall the sound wasn't for me. I like the artist's voice. Weep themselves to Sleep the only good song.
Oh, Jack White. What a character you are. Your performance at Bonnaroo many years ago (or more specifically your story about "Having nothing better to do") is something I won't soon forget. Solid artist. Wild, varied, entertaining.
Never heard this room before. Totally unexpected love the piano.
Dope
I like the sound of Jack White's solo stuff but the song writing is always a bit short. The newer albums have one or two keepers, but otherwise it feels very meandering.
I am finding myself unimpressed with this album. It is one that I have always wanted to listen to but never got around to. Freedom At 21 feels incomplete, like the first draft of a song that just needed some more thought and work. It isn't a terrible album, but it does fall flat for me. I don't think I would listen to this one again.
Bellissimo mood. Non un album geniale, forse, ma veramente cool.
rumpelrumpel
Not really sure why'd you'd need to hear this before you die. It's not bad, but it's not very remarkable or memorable either.
it was okay, reminds me of the beatles but not in a good way.
As a huge White Stripes and Jack White fan, I recall being intrigued by his debut solo album. I also recall being a little let down by Blunderbuss. It’s not necessarily bad, there are good tracks, it starts fairly strong but after listening again years later it just feels like an album with a bunch of ideas Jack wanted to dump into an album without a ton of cohesion, maybe with the band, maybe he neglected the guitar too much? I don’t know there’s something missing. Years later Jack has come full circle with his most recent release, No Name which is excellent. This was fine. 3 stars
Two albums from the 2010s in a row after getting none for months. Jack's solo stuff doesn't usually do very much for me but this was a pleasant surprise. I don't know why but Jack White/The White stripes have been hitting harder than usual. Favorite track: Sixteen Saltines 3.5/5
I mean, it (unsurprisingly) sounds like a White Stripes album, and I like the White Stripes so I am (unsurprisingly) vibing with it.
Great guitarist, OK album
It was ok.
This is a great album but hard for me to understand why he broke away from Meg for this, especially since the album feels like a follow up to Icky Thump. Still a great compilation just a weird departure but should be in your playlist
I really fell off with Jack after the Stripes broke up and it was largely due to this album. I feel like the difference between this and even Icky Thump is stark. Less dynamic and textured and more of the fast-talking rap-singing schtick which has more or less become his whole deal. I'm an "actually the White Stripes are an art-house blues band" guy so this isn't groundbreaking news to anyone.
This was an excellent listen and I loved everything about it. Jack White doesn't seem to have a single "sound", but he does it all -- odd time signatures, 4/4, even a 3/4 tune or two. His instrumentation was varied and the performances (vocal and instrumental) were all perfect. It was recorded impeccably and the writing shows depth and sophistication while also being super down-to-earth and easy to listen to. I was humming along the entire time and I listened to it twice in its entirety because I loved it so much. Five stars.
Meh so far, maybe I could get into it
Great album, never thought to look into Jack White solo albums. I'll listen to it again
Great music! A unique style with great guitar and piano work, subtle gospel influence and interesting compositipns. Loved it
Absolutely great. Loved the sound, interesting mix of rock and beatles-type music. Some really groovy songs. Didn’t like white stripes album but this was a pleasant surprise
It doesn't have the raw magic of The White Stripes, but I still like it a lot.
This is fine. I don't think I'll ever play it again, but if I were at your house and you played it, I wouldn't think badly of you.
Seemed fine to me but can't remember much now Will I listen to again: 10%
Yeah, I like this, but it's not his best work. I really enjoy when he pairs up with Brendan Benson in The Raconteurs.
- fun little riff on opening song -good guitar, still gotta deal with jack white's voice
Some good songs, not all of it up my alley.
Really strong album. Love most of the music on here and it was my first time hearing it. 7.6/10
Not bad. Groovy and instrumentally rich, but it didn't blow me away. Listenable, but perhaps forgettable.
Eh, nothing special about this album. I remember lots of folk praised this as something genius when it first came out but I just don't see it.
Really enjoyed this!
Okay. This is a great album
Gewoon niet zo speciaal
Sixteen Saltines is a good one, love the guitar in it. Overall I really like this album, might return to it and listen again every now and then.
Solid album
This rocks hard
Vinyl: No Fav Song: Weep Themselves to Sleep
NGL, was not excited about ANOTHER Jack White album making this list. Then I got to Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy, and I was sold. A fantastic album.
1 out of 1001. mama idk if i'm gonna commit - funky at the start. not bad. like this is definitely from 2012 - waitttt sixteen saltines. why am i grooving rn - love interruption is another one that get me looking over. like ooo... - TITLE TRACKKKKK - weep themselves to sleep. I love me a good piano - i think i disassociated during i'm shakin' Sorry mister white - waittt trash tongue talker OKAYYYY - on and on and on..... hm! ykw. not bad. solid like. 3.5? if i had to pick it's more a 3. but maybe that's because new stuff needs to grow on me I'm sure if i listen to it more it'll be a 4. she will be going into my library however!
I like this album!!!
Its okay
should not be on the list
im vibing with this kinda, came out in 2012 but has the essence of the mid 2000s
Missing pieces, Blunderbuss, Hypocritical kiss. Really unique tunes. Thoroughly enjoyed. The background piano elevated the experience. The instrumentals were top notch.
More De Stijl than White Blood Cells, as White evokes C&W and blues, in his own inimtable way. Slightly lacks the energy of his layer solo work
Relatable album well written.
Couple of memorables tunes, but otherwise pretty unnoteworthy. Wouldn't listen again.
This is a total banger!
Mix of chill and rock, bluesy w a twang piano guitar riffs n drums
Great listen. Good rock clever recording
"Sixteen Saltines" is obviously a classic with that guitar riff which is so simple but also so catchy. "Love Interruption" is awesome as well I did know Jack White's really rock side but a mor acoustic version is really nice as well. I lvoe the way he mixed rock and chill music in that album. "Weep Themselves To Sleep" wtffff was that guitar solo, kina disturbing and painful to listen to. "Trash Tongue Talker" has such a great piano part, really enjoyable. In general the album is pretty good, you can recognize the vibe coming from The White Stripes but also his own solo work with more chill vibes which awesome.
OK music but why is it on the list? It came out in 2012 when rock was of course already well established, and does not seem to be any kind of turning point in the genre. Odd!
Jeg behøver ikke at lytte til dagens album, den sidder allerede så langt under huden som en 5er kan.
Jack White leger sig rundt i alle de forskellige ærke amerikanske genre.
Detta är helt nytt för mig. Men jag gillar musiken rätt mycket. skulle nog behöva lyssna lite mer, men tycker det räcker för en fyra. Det enda jag inte är helt såld på är sångrösten. Men det melodisk och varierad rock!
Kul överraskning. Tyckte mycket bättre om denna än vad jag gjorde om de två tidigare White stripes-album som vi lyssnat på så här långt, förmodligen för stil och kompositioner på denna tilltalar mig mycket mer. Många bra låtar och stabilt rakt i igenom.
3.5
I did downgrade *Blunderbuss* this listen around. I seemed to notice the album was pretty front loaded, this listen though. The first five still friggin amaze me, but as the album progress it felt a bit more uneven than I remembered, but "I'm Shakin''' and "Take Me With You When You Go" are great highlights afterwards... Also there something almost Granny McCartney leanings I dug about "Poor Boy", but probably wouldn't count it as a highlight. (9.65) ★★★★½
Some cool songs, but very uneven. 3 stars
I was a big White Stripes fan back in the day, so I was excited for this album when it came out, but at the time, I was pretty disappointed by it. Somehow, being freed from the minimalistic limitations of the White Stripes resulted in Jack making a less interesting album. It's not all bad, and there's certainly some good stuff here. "Sixteen Saltines" is one of the best songs he ever wrote, and "Love Interruption" and the "I'm Shakin'" cover are also quite cool. But beyond that a lot of it is pretty uneven. 3.5 stars.
2.5
A markedly more vapid version of his usual stuff with White Stripes. It’s still massively inkeeping with his normal style ie quite shrieky, irksome, ultra Led Zep derivative and with garbage mixing but it’s all just a bit below par and with not a single noteworthy track which makes this album more like Blanderbuss by Jack Biege.
This guy never runs out of creative juice squeezed from the great American songbooks. Future editions could probably replace this one with “No Name” but still A masterclass in emotional range and sonic invention.
Was pleasantly surprised, downloaded a couple songs but probably wouldn’t come back to this album.
Not sure this brings anything *new* that the White Stripes hasn't already done. Now, I like Jack white, his direction in The Raconteurs genuinely brought a new Jack sound, I'm not so sure this solo album does. It's good, but I don't think it's ground breaking (does all music need to be?) It feels like it's missing something but the parts that are there are pretty good, I enjoyed listening to this album. Fave Tracks: Freedom at 21 Love Interruption Take Me With You When You Go
Ok but not great, white stripes were better
It’s a good album with a number of songs I liked, Blunderbuss, I’m Shakin and On and On and On in particular. Others were a little too frantic for me. Missing Pieces sounded like a Meatloaf song. Altogether a pretty good album.
very nice mix of hard and acoustic blues - reminds me of a zeppelin album
Not jacks best work but was the best rock albo of 2012 as I recall.
I don't know how to feel about this album because some songs are the perfect mix of like jazz/bluegrass and punk and rap and then other songs are not good. Like the vocals trying to good vocals aren't great but when he embraces the more rap style delivery it's successful. Highlights were the beats in most of the songs, just bops. Some excellent instrumental bits too. I think I liked it though and I'd even go as far as to say it was good overall.
I generally really liked The White Stripes. They had an interesting take on blues rock that really sounded quite distinctly them. Blunderbuss, Jack White's debut solo record, feel like something of a regression to me. Blunderbuss feels like it could have been made by any contemporary blues artist, which isn't to say it's a bad record, just not a particularly interesting or exciting one.
Jack White is undoubtedly talented but he's just never been able to capture much of my attention outside of The White Stripes, unfortunately. This album is fine but I probably won't listen to it again.
Easily the best Jack White album outside of his work with White Stripes. I especially like the back half which has some more adventurous stuff.
It's alright to have on in the background.
I somehow missed this one when it came out but I really enjoyed it. Jack White radio singles all seem to sound alike to me, so I wasn't expecting so much variety in his songwriting on this one. Pleasantly surprised!
Decent, if not overripe in its sounds. Will neeed to revisit though.
Really really good. I feel like you either like Jack or you don't but this hits for me
Not my cup of tea.
This feels like a continuation of the second Raconteurs album, which I love, but it doesn't hit quite the same way. I think it's the usual Jack White stuff but minus some other components that make me love his projects.
I was very glad this evolved into more folk rock with the acoustic & piano work after the opening of this - otherwise we’d be treading dangerously close to the black keys again. Nothing stood out individually aside from I’m Shakin’ which does have a killer riff to it and is nestled in between a lot of the acoustic stuff so it stands out properly. Also he says nervous funny a couple of times, that gets the album an extra star in my eyes. Even if the other songs as a whole don’t stand out much to me the various piano riffs did. Glad this is in here, even if it isn’t 100% my thing.
I listened to this while driving my daughter to her boyfriend’s apartment. It was pretty good.
really good, a lot of different styles combined really well.
Great solo JW.
It's aight, a few good songs and a good listen.
Enjoyed it.
No a fan
I am already in deep with Jack White so have quite a bias. Dont think I have ever listened to this album from start to finish specifically but recognise many if not all the songs. I think this is a lower 4 based on my preference. Assuming more Jack white or his collaborations come up I would expect a stronger 4 for me as he can be better than this album (he has done so many good albums across numerous bands). Great artist.
I am a Jack White fan so was keen to get into this and fully expected a 4*+. Unfortunately, although there are some decent tracks, as an album this doesn't really excite me. I have the Later Album "Lazaretto", which in my opinion is superior. Maybe this one is on the list purely because it is his first solo album... You can't deny the musical ability of Jack White but too much of this falls into the category of "underwhelming modern country music".
Good!
This might be a tough listen. Personally, I never really connected with The White Stripes or any of Jack White’s other projects. Still, I thought I’d give his first solo album Blunderbuss a shot. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it—but I also don’t think it’s essential listening. I’m honestly puzzled as to how it ended up on any “must-hear” lists. The album feels pretty basic overall, without offering anything particularly new or groundbreaking. There are a few decent moments scattered throughout, but nothing that truly stands out. Favourite track: Love Interruption – a rare moment of genuine intrigue. Least favourite track: Blunderbuss the title track was very dull. Album artwork: A moody, melancholic cover that suits the tone, even if the music doesn’t quite live up to it.
first half is so strong, second half stalls a bit. The highs are so good though, some of his best solo tracks. The first four tracks are a heavenly run
It's fine but not really fussed by it
It was alright but I'm not going to listen to it again
Really enjoyed this. You can call me Al probably my least favourite on it. Will definitely listen again
Sounds good, high 4
It’s alright music. Not my style. I listened to some other songs of his that weren’t in this album and none of them drew me in either.
3.5! Solid!
Impressed me
kind of giving Led Zeppelin
Ok, not my taste
I really enjoyed this album.
Jack White is at his best when he’s A) ripping and shredding on guitar and B) when he’s being playful. He’s not my favorite when he’s indulging his prog rock side. Sign me up all day long for tunes like “I’m shakin’” and “trash tongue talker”. Sadly, this album has a bit too much of my less favorite moments.
I liked it. Second half was better to me. Stand out track was "I Guess I Should go to Sleep"
Not a bad track on the album. I think it would be even better live
Bangers all. Love Interruption 🙌🏻
I'm Shakin' Take me with you when you go
I like White's straightforward bluesy rock; it has a good classic sound but seems fresh.
Okey, not really my style of music
This guy was in the white stripes or something. The first few songs are kind of fun. 28/03/25
Good but lacks je ne sais quois of the Stripes
Yawn
Jack White’s Blunderbuss finds the notoriously chaotic frontman dialling it back just enough to make a statement about his solo identity. Surprisingly, it works. Where his past work thrived on raw energy and reckless abandon, Blunderbuss leans into a more polished version of White’s signature blend of blues, folk, and country, maintaining a sense of adventure without the previously unhinged aggression. Tracks like "Sixteen Saltines" recall his past swagger, while "Love Interruption" reveals a more intimate, country-tinged side that hints at a deeper artistic evolution. But despite the refinement, the album feels like a calculated risk. A step toward something new, even if it lacks the unpredictable energy that made his earlier work so electrifying. While Blunderbuss doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it does establish White as a solo artist in his own right, though not without acknowledging the shadow of his past. There’s an undeniable confidence here, and even if the album isn’t as explosive as White Blood Cells or Get Behind Me Satan, it offers a more nuanced and introspective take on his artistry. Blunderbuss may not be the chaos-fueled rock ‘n’ roll explosion I was expecting, but it’s a worthwhile, adventurous pivot that proves Jack White’s still a force, just with a little less fire and a lot more precision.
Perfectly nice album, but nothing revolutionary or particularly memorable. It’s a high three.
Fine
Unfortunately this doesn't have the impact of a White Stripes album. I lasted 4 tracks and got fed up.
Not bad but his singing style kind of gets off putting
There were times when the music was nice, but overall I am simultaneously exhausted and endlessly bored by Jack White
Knew exactly what it would sound like from the album cover.
Pretty good tbh, had some bright spots
I liked this one so much. I listened to it multiple times and recommended it to other people.
Невозможно скучное. Едва ли 30 минут, а ощущается как вечность, а впереди ещё 10
I forgot I'd listened to this first time round, some good tracks on here. All very recognisable and very JB. The fact I haven't returned to it in 12 years says a lot though, mid 4.
Such a distinct sound
Better than Ryan Adams?
Jack White's first solo album after a pretty decorated career with the White Stripes. Definitely more personal compared to his work within a group. Blues rock with some country influence sprinkled throughout and prominent piano playing near the end. Although it's...a little inconsistent I guess? Doesn't quite stack up to the group efforts of the White Stripes, in which there was a certain charm in the frantic garage rock sound they produced. Also, no one gonna mention how Jack White says nervous ("noyvus"?) in "I'm Shakin'"?
The first 4 tracks were HORRIBLE, i didn't like them at all. The rest of the albums was ok for 2 reasons: 1) the melodies were good, especially the piano sound in these type of songs. 2) the irony in some of the lyrics in some of the tracks was kinda funny. Also i found the last two tracks really interesting, they were def the highlight of the album for me. So i still don't feel like this is the kind of the album i would reach out for but it was interesting to listen to tbh. 4.3/10
Currently the last living rock star, an astute music historian and undeniably brilliant in every horn honkin’, ivory-tinklin’ way. This sort of omega level virtuosity could be off-putting in the wrong hands (I’m looking at you, Kravitz) and, yes, I would prefer a sloppy, spirited sibling / possible spouse(?) on the sticks to serve as a way in to those of us with cloth ears and no masters degree in chin stroking but he channels his vast wealth of knowledge and plays with enough feeling that you can’t helping getting swept up in it.
I did not really like this.
Hoe het mogelijk is dat Jack White zoveel goede muziek kan maken, is mij een raadsel, maar dit is ook weer een klepper. Ik denk niet dat er een album, geschreven door de pen van Jack White, is dat ik minder dan 3 sterren zou geven. En deze dus ook: vettige gitaren, rauw, heerlijk gewoon. Sixteen Saltines is dan ook één van m'n favoriete White nummers. Plus de herinneringen aan Rocksmith en Guitar Hero zorgen voor extra kippenvel. 4.4
Dig it
This was excellent - 4.5.
I remember the biiig hype from one friend, who was such a big fan of Jack White. :) Good album!
Cool album
"Sixteen saltines" alone pulls the score to 5. I am writing this only 2 songs in and have 0 doubts that the whole album will deliver. Everything Jack does is up to a really high standart and i love seeing this one on the list.
Never listened to jack before and it wasn’t bad, it was just alright.
Decent rock but nothing stood out
Nothing lost nothing gained, jack white is a legend but it doesn’t show in this one
Insanely talented guitarist. Tight sound. To me there’s something missing keeping it from a 5 but it is very good.
Jack White has a very distinctive sound captured here. This is a very good effort for his first solo album but not as good as White Stripe, The Raconteurs or some of his later solo work. Still worth having in your collection.
A solid “debut” album for Jack White but I don’t think it beats the Raconteurs or most White Stripes albums of his in terms of overall quality. Sixteen Saltines, Freedom at 21, and Love Interruption are the highlights for me. Unsurprisingly these are all better live. Good mix of garage rock, Americana, and 50s blues influences throughout.
Leuk album, creatief gebruik van instrumenten en niet alleen maar de saaie rock trifactor. De teksten zijn leuk en op zn jack white, een beetje hopeloos romantisch
I'm glad he's still making music. 5 stars
The torch bearer of rock and blues proves that there's life in a genre that's 70 years old.
Medium rare.
Jack White is a modern hero of Rock and Roll. This album is no different to the rest of his work. Travelling across, rock, blues, country and binding it all together to make solidly produced tracks. And while I recognize and acknowledge his mastery of the craft, he is still just not my favorite and I can’t put my finger on why… 4⭐️
It’s pretty good, bits which are more like the white stripes I think I like a bit more, quite a lot of the songs just feel like mediocre covers though. Favourite songs: sixteen saltines, freedom at 21, blunderbuss, weep themselves to sleep, I’m shakin’, take me with you when you go. Overall around 6/10
it was alright
Has a bluesy sound that reminds me of the Stones at times. It’s decent, just not something I’d seek out
This has nothing to do with how I felt about the album, but while I was listening to it and taking notes, I was watching a looping video heavily tinted blue of a record spinning. It just felt wrong not to have that in my peripheral vision while I had this thing on. After all, they related to two of things I've always liked about Jack White: the consistent as hell color motifs in his works, and his passion for vinyl records. As someone who's long had an interest in branding and physical media, of course he's been someone I've had in mind for a while now. So then why is this only the first time I've listened to his actual music? Well, his **solo** music, to be clear. Of course I've heard The White Stripes before; who hasn't? At this point it can't be easy to avoid hearing "Seven Nation Army". And in fact, my familiarity with The White Stripes might be why I've taken so long to scoop Jack's work under his own name. I couldn't imagine what he could offer me that I couldn't get or didn't already have from the Stripes. Frankly, judging a book by its color scheme, I'd always assumed Jack's solo work was... Like, "serious," y'know? That there wouldn't be any fun "Ball And Biscuit" shenanigans here, but instead moody, serious, indie-ish music. That's just always how stuff like BOARDING HOUSE REACH came across to me. But that album came out **many** years after this one did. Let's focus on this one: what does it sound like? OK, so, the goal of The White Stripes, to me at least, was to bring rock and blues back to its roots. And I mean, it's absolute primitive, bare-minimum roots: a guitar, drums, and a voice. There'd be some augmentation sometimes, like maybe a piano here and there, but for the most part it was just those three instruments, no more, no less. That was their appeal; that they were so stripped back, raw and **loud**. I mean, heck, the band's whole sound was built around Meg White's basic drumming style — and I mean "basic" as the biggest compliment I can. That sound carries over to this album (or at least it's first three tracks), but it's way more evolved. There's more instruments in the mix, and the drumming is a bit more complex. If the whole album sounded like this, I would've quite liked it. True, it wouldn't hit as hard as some of the best Stripes tracks do, but at least it would've proved to me that Jack White didn't stray **too far** into "serious music" — at least not to start with. However, the whole album doesn't sound like that. Starting with the title track, there's a country/folk influence that starts seeping in and only gets stronger as the album goes on. And it's some good-ass country/folk influence, too. Like, the pedal steel on the title track and "On And On And On" are **so damn good**. Honestly, following track 4 I heard only one more true dip into blues music, and that was with the cover of "I'm Shakin'". Funny enough, it was also the first track where I openly thought "This doesn't sound like White Stripes with extras" — thank the guitar bounce for that. But if there's anything that got me goin' wild on this album, it's the **piano**. The piano on this thing is, like... Incredible. Just plain incredible. Like, seriously, looking at my notes, most of them are just me pointing out how much I liked the piano — especially on "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy". Paired together with that mandolin, it, ah, just might be my favorite song on the album. Which, y'know, that's **saying something** given how much I was dazzled by the keys on "On And On And On". Seriously, it is not **not** a battle for my favorite song on here, I swear. Also, also, 'coz I don't know where else to fit this in, I like how much "I Guess I Should Go To Sleep" sounds like it should be playing in an old saloon. That's just fun, y'know? Once again, this Randomizer has gotten me to kick myself in the butt for not checking out someone's work sooner. And it's especially bad here because despite basing way too much of my preconceptions on how one album cover looked, I had no excuse — and let's not act like what I just said is one, either. In fact, while I was writing this review I went and listened to Spotify's samples of BOARDING HOUSE REACH and, yeah, no, I'd love this, too. I'm tellin' yah, aesthetics can do way too much for my opinions sometimes, goodness... So, yeah, that's a big ol' 5 from me. It's good-ass evolved Stripes blues, it's good-ass folk n' country rock... I have very little to complain about here. **And** it gets me to listen to ELEPHANT, and that ain't never a bad thing, lemme tell you. (Honestly, some part of me would've found it funny to give this thing a 3 just for the bit, but I ain't gonna lie about my feelings just to be funny, so...)
Simple blues done simply well. 4.5 bumped down to 4.
I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5. Perhaps a bit of hypocrisy from me to dock Faith No More for being a little too close to the Peppers, and for me to bump this up when this “Jack White” guy is clearly ripping off the White Stripes, but when you’ve got it, you’ve got it, and this album, despite how closely it toes the line to being a vaguely misogynistic set of tracks, manages to tightrope its way into having it. In all seriousness, it is at a 4.5 for that very reason – the instrumentation, vocal work, and general production would put this at a flat 5 for me, because it really is enough of a departure from the more “glamorous” rock stylings of the White Stripes (probably partially Meg’s finishing touch to Jack’s sensibilities) to a more cutdown, vaguely country / ragtime-y feel that takes a bit more inspiration from the 60s & 70s to create a more distinct, yet familiar sound. Similar enough that you could just call this a White Stripes album, but with enough of Jack’s own voice to really make this feel like a solo album. The issue with not giving this a flat 5 then, is of course Jack’s own voice – the lyricism on these tracks really do tow a fine line for me; never into full blown pre-19th Amendment sexism or anything, but just right on that edge of subtle, vague gaslighting & blame with a hint of reasonable doubt. It does feel like Jack is blaming a lot of the seemingly biographical incidents on this album on women in general; even if Meg is never mentioned, this being his first solo album after the disbandment of the White Stripes leaves a bit of room to point in that direction. It doesn’t help that he got divorced the year after this dropped. However, I might just be projecting my own interpretation onto these tracks, and I can’t imagine Jack White is actually like that at all – at worst, this album just hasn’t aged very well lyrically in an era where women’s empowerment is more encouraged & vague swipes like this come across as petty with a lack of real self-reflection. Musically, the album is a delight to listen to, and its quality is kind of undeniable (ESPECIALLY the piano work). It is a damn good record, and I do think it’s worth bumping it up to a 5 – there really isn’t a bad track here, and the wide variety of styles plus the energy he brings to each track makes it a really enjoyable 42 minutes. I had a lot of fun with it at least, & it's probably no less than a 4.
Jack White isn’t bad, but Jack without Meg is not essential to me.
Not bad, not original and doesn’t sound as sharp and fresh as when he’s with Meg.
It's fine, but it doesn't really live up to the hype it had.
Parece um pouco com white stripes, mas realmente tem um pouco mais de Jack White, o que eu não sei se é bom kaskas. Dito isto, gostei de Blunderbuss, Weep Themselves to Sleep, e Trash Tongue Talker.
