Blunderbuss

I heard Sixteen Saltines on Rocksmith 2014 and liked it so expecting good things. Didn't like it as much as I remembered (still liked it though) and not a huge fan of the album as a whole. Often went in one ear and out the other. Felt somewhat derivative as well, e.g. Love Interruption is a bit like a weak knock off of Led Zeppelin III. Not bad overall though Highlights: Weep Themselves to Sleep, Sixteen Saltines

Oh man, this swings! Energetic and fun.

Definitely know of Jack White but truly never really engaged in his albums. He is definitely a great and legendary artist.

Arrancamos noviembre con éste álbum que hace tiempo no escuchaba. Jack White me parece uno de los tipos más creativos y prolíficos de su generación. Es una máquina de producir música excelente en cada uno de sus proyectos y su faceta solista no es la excepción. Éste trabajo está lleno de temazos, imposibles de diseccionar en unidades. Tienen que apreciarse como una obra completa de un tipo militante de la producción analógica y no de un volver a las bases sino de revalorizarlas. Hasta el lunes.

Is there anyone in the last 25 years or so that is more prolific than Jack White? Between the White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and his solo work it seems like he was everywhere for a while. This was an interesting album. It is a bit all over the place in terms of musical styles and that's a good thing. Not a bad song on the album. Nothing to get too excited over either.

good. not my fav

This albums is good, Jack White worked better with Meg though.

Love the white stripes and Jack White. This album is other banger from him.

White Stripes Country-style. 3.5/5

Haven't listened to a ton of Jack White or the White Stripes but I really enjoyed this & might look into more from their catalogue!

It was an ok album, I didn't find it to be anything really special. To my untrained ear, it just sounded like The White Stripes.

That's not my taste in musik. But some pleasant songs

Tweede Jack white denk ik? Leuk album, was al wel bekend met de man uiteraard ook via white stripes. Prima listen

Really enjoyed this

ass istg i tried it hurts to listen to maybe like a 1.5

Unknown artist and unknown album to me. Interesting and enjoyable music. Good guitar playing.

Not Jack White's most interesting project, but it's ok.

I listened a lot to this when it came out, so I was happy to see it show up here. It’s still great with some amazing riffs, and it just has such a great vibe to it.

Solider Pop mit britischen Einschlag ohne absolute Highlights. „Hip” lässt ein wenig vom Jahrmarkt träumen und “Blunderbus” wirkt tiefgründig. Irgendwie möchte man es nochmal hören.

I like Jack White. I'm a huge fan of the first two Raconteurs albums. The White Stripes albums can be hit or miss, but they all have absolute bangers on them. I feel like White's first solo endeavor is a little bit of all those styles that make him the guitarist he is. And, it's a really good album with some interesting songs. But, none of them have that "wow factor" that some of the best White Stripes songs have, and none deviate from the norm like some of the more interesting Raconteurs songs do. Lastly, I'm not getting a lot of emotional depth on this album. Don't get me wrong. This is a solid 4 for me, and by my ratings, that's a very strong album. But I guess that for Jack White's first solo album (especially one that made this list), I was honestly just expecting a bit more?

I'll have 1 Jack White album with the lot please. Every song is so very different. I love the heavy contrast transition from Weep Themselves To Sleep to I'm Shakin'. I loved this album as a whole far more than it's individual tracks, which alone are good, but so much more as an album.

There’s something encapsulating about Jack Whites music—a sort of flavorful spin on that bluesy, classic rock that you can tell Jack admires. You get some laid-back vocals and synth and guitar on the opening track, Missing Pieces. Following that is a piece that matches the White Stripes’ highs and rock staples: Sixteen Saltines. It’s a song that anyone could put on the radio and have a jam-packed van of middle-aged white dudes bobbing their heads, forgetting that it’s even from the last 15 years. Freedom At 21 has the same catchy, old-school rock nature, but with Jacks own pizzaz added (those wobbly vocals, man, what the hell). The title track is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, emulating the slow beauty of much of Led Zeppelin IV, ie. Going to California. I’m Shakin’ brings back more of the classic, bluesy rock that started the whole genre, truly making this album a compilation of many of the things that make rock great (just wish he didn’t say “I’m noivous”). His first solo work since the White Stripes, Jack White continues the same-old style of alt-rock that made his previous duo so immediately and immensely popular. That being said, not every song is a banger, and the album holistically plays like more of a greatest hits compilation than anything cohesive and genre-pioneering. It’s clear Jack had his moment to shine in The White Stripes, and while he did change the alt-rock scene for decades to come, he’s decided to just have fun with his newer stuff. Though I’ve heard No Name is really good, and Jack White seems to be leading the charge on resuscitating rock, so have to give him his praise where necessary. Anyways, solid album.

It's fine. I remember this releasing and it being fine. Can't say you need to listen before you die

Meh.

Eh

Great album not a bad track

Jack White is Jack White, he’s great, maybe a bit overrated. There are some strong song on the Side A and Side B has a bit of a throwaway Beatles type songs and it works. 6.3/10

Great album. Genre changing

I have never really listened to much Jack White, apart from the White stripes. I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Standouts: Sixteen Saltines, Love Interruption and Take Me With You When You Go.

One great song and several good ones

Very surprised to see Jack White solo stuff on here. This dude just gets rock and roll music. Interesting stuff. Cool tone on his solos. Like this dude.

It's mostly ok. Even though it's pretty accomplished, a lot of it isn't that exciting. There's a few good tracks in here though.

.... ok.

I mean that's Jack White for you. Even though his voice is not the best in the business, his guitar work is great.

Almost forgot to rate this one! Love Jack, so I enjoyed this.

I enjoyed this album, probably not quite as much as I enjoy The White Stripes. Great guitar sound and some pretty awesome tracks. Solid 3 stars.

This album has one of my all time favourite songs - Sixteen Saltines! The rest is ok.

Largely middle of the road with some lovely little moments thrown in here and there. Enjoyed listening to it but my attention faded in and out from it - maybe it’s a bit forgettable? Dunno. I’d defo listen again though. 3.3

The beginning of this album does not fit with the rest of it. I was turned off by the first few songs but by the mid-way point I started to enjoy it a lot more.

Very mid. Lyricism was bad but there were some nice hooks in places, I enjoyed the title track.

Stagnation auf hohem Niveau

3.5 really I think.

No private spotify session used on this one, I have listened to it many times before. I like it, White's guitar work is a lot of fun and this album rocks in general.

Hadn’t heard any of the songs before, but enjoyed it overall. Like ragtime meets blues.

An instant classic as I added 10 songs right off the bat to my playlist....

I dont think this is as good as The White Stripes, and kind of just does the same thing they did but less fresh and less raw. It didn't do much for me

Finally, Jack White goes solo and can use more than 2 instruments in a song!

Nickelback of the 70s

Enjoyed

7/10. Had some good songs, but didn't stand out to me as 'fantastic'. Good album.

Not good, not bad.

Some bangers some I had to skip through

3.8

I'd previously given this less credit than due, I think.

Considering how much I like the White Stripes, it's surprising that I never really got into Jack's solo and other bands until recently. Solid album, overall. Some of his newer stuff is better, but a few of these are his solo hits.

Good stuff! He writes cool songs

Quite enjoyable. Makes me think of the Black Keys.

Some fun songs but nothing too special

good songwriter, just never quite clicks with me

A pretty enjoyable rock album. I like whites vocals and all the embellishments he does. The instrumentation was very tasteful incorporating strings, a piano, and wind instruments into the typical guitar band sound.

Loved this album since it came out! Fun and upbeat.

Recency bias? It's OK, it's weird, not a fan of his voice

pretty decent album i liked his voice and a few of the songs were pretty good. 3/5

DNF. Yeah, nah. Not my vibe at all.

The OG hipster. Pretty fun album, not always what I want, but always happy to hear it when it’s on.

I was just thinking to myself the other day that I wanted to hear some Jack White. Here we are. I think Jack is a tremendously talented artist. This album isn't groundbreaking but it's enjoyable from start to finish. 7.5/10 (3.75/5)

This was pretty good, I hadn't been much of a White Stripes fan in the past so I wasn't sure I'd like this but it wasn't too bad, I'd say a 3.5 but I'll rate it a 3

I liked the opener, but otherwise there wasn't anything spectacular about this album.

I heard this album when it came out in 2012 and didn't much care for it, but today's listen gave me a bit more appreciation for it. It has its moments for me. 3 stars.

Not quite to the level of his work on White Stripes, but still a lot to like here.

Nah.

It’s a Jack White record and with due respect to fans of his, there wasn’t much by way of unexpected surprise on this record. It sounds like a Jack White record: some high energy rock, some bluesy and/or country-ish acoustic numbers, some cool guitar effects and some blistering solos. The heavy use of piano was a nice addition here, but not totally total out of character. I like him just fine, but mostly in small doses: a song here and there, but in an album setting like this, it all kind of starts burring together after a while. His staccato vocal delivery starts to wear thin, making songs that would otherwise probably be engaging feel monotonous.

I know that folks have a hard on for Jack White. I think he is fine...that is all

Not as good as the white stripes. Solo projects rarely are

Musical genius. Been a fan of Jack since Highschool.

Not a blunder, but also not creating buzz.

I really don't see how this is an essential album to listen to before one's exit from this mortal coil. It's fine. It has some weird stuff. I just don't care. "I Guess I Should Go to Sleep." Guess this album should've ended with that. Like this is why Ronnie James Dio was snubbed entirely??

Starts off strong. I dig it when it's stripped down and rocks. Not as much when it gets slow and orchestrated. Lots of different style going on here, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Back half kind falls off for sure.

Interessant. Für mich eine Neuentdeckung und besser als erwartet (befürchtet)!

I enjoy Jack white’s music.

I got elephants last week, and been listening to Jack Whites new album ‘No Name’ a lot already this week, so I feel Iv overdone Mr White before seeing this album this morning. Ignoring that it was good to hear his debut again, I really like this album. But it’s hard to rank in terms of this list, it obviously sits behind the white stripes albums, but due to personal taste it’s already in my frequent rotation,

Bouncy, energetic, and sometimes peppy. A good & fun listen.

I like what jack white is about, im onboard with his style of music and i think i even owned this back in the day. However the fact im not sure probably speaks volumes. The album passes by quite pleasantly, there are some good tunes towards the second half of it and its well made. But i cant help feel that it, or I, am missing something. His voice is unique but not too offensive, there are hooks here, but it just seems to lack a bit of depth and heart. Maybe one day this will click and i'll love it but im not there yet.

Favorite Track: Blunderbuss

I remember the hype going into this album a few years after The White Stripes announced their breakup. Of course, I don't think anyone expected it would be as good as any WS album, given that band was literally something that couldn't be replicated, but I was still excited to see what Mr. White would do with a full band. And it's...pretty okay. I remember really enjoying it upon first listen, but as time went on, it lost a bit of its luster. But the guitar licks here are solid, and the backing band is really giving White a new lane that he would go on to polish in future albums. And White has certainly put out better solo albums since, and better work with bands like Dead Weather and The Raconteurs. So, you know, go check those out. After hearing this today, man I just really miss Meg.

The drab, muted blues of White’s cover spills over into the blues played in his songs, resulting in an album that, while technically proficient, leaves me feeling wonderless.

No me ha interesado. No ha conseguido atraerme y prestarle atención. Lo mismo lo vuelvo a escuchar alguna vez.

Meh

I was going to call this one of the newer records on the list, so imagine my shock it's 12 years old. My, how the time passes. The record contains a lot of what White was doing with the White Stripes, as well as flirting with some deeper blues, including certain tracks that sound almost vaudeville in nature. "Weep Themselves to Sleep" sounds like White doing his best impression of The Who, and closing track "Take Me With You When You Go" meanders and kind of just ends. I've never been anti-White Stripes, nor anti-Jack White, but this record continues my streak of, "Meh, he's/they're fine, I guess." Favorite tracks: "Missing Pieces", "Freedom At 21"

Rockin' roll

I just really don’t like him that much.

Never been a big Jack White fan and this record did not turn me into one... Good sangs and annoying songs, in the end, it sits in the middle.

hey this was pretty great

As if two White Stripes albums wasn't enough. "Blunderbuss" was fine. Nothing remarkable though. I definitely did not need to hear what can only be deemed as the thousandth commercialized rock album though.

A little angsty, a little fun, a little interesting. I liked it.

Better than I expected from a Jack White solo album. Still, a little too self-absorbed and unfocused for my tastes. Dude can write a great song, someone just needs to stop him before he covers it in bad ideas.

I really like this - there’s a good mix between different types of songs, and Jack White’s voice and guitar playing is just awesome. I miss Meg White’s drumming, but love the variety in songs because Jack White is calling the shots.

Inoffensive but surely not worthy of a place on the list of the greatest albums of all time. Not one track on the album stood out to me and definitely weaker than the White Stripes' records.

This is an absolutely absurd inclusion. There's nothing wrong with this album, in fact it is pretty decent, but by no means do you have to hear it "before you die". The White Stripes is the only thing from White's career that merits inclusion in this list. Don't put more recent stuff on the list just for the sake of its recency.

Really liked this. Less lo-fi than The White Stripes, and hugely Led Zep in places, but still definitely a Jack White project.

4.5 - Think I'm becoming a fan of Jack White. I was put off when I was young, he just looked really greasy. This album was fucking great though

No strong opinions, I think this album is pretty good, but inessential, not groundbreaking, not hooky. Fave Tracks: Saltine Sixteens, On and On and On, Take Me With You When You Go 3.4/5

i really liked this album it had a couple of really good stand alone songs and was a really good listen as a whole. i really liked the lyrics in a few of the songs that i felt subverted common tropes in music writing.

Annoying voice and repetitive musically. Ran out of ideas after a couple tracks.

Some bangers, but, given he is just making a modernish version of old sounds, not necessary to hear before one dies

I loved The White Stripes a lot when I was younger, but his solo album, for me, was pretty meh. It just didn’t hit the same way.

Good music but only a couple things stand out for me. The Sixteen Saltines and Weep Themselves To Sleep stood out as memorable.

First half of the album I genuinely rocked out. Second half I felt a bit schizophrenic, but I didn't hate it.

There's good stuff on this album but it just didn't resonate that much with me personally. Also, I think I'm not really a fan of White's vocals.

Decent, with a couple great tracks, but not exactly essential.

The only song I was really familiar with from this album was "Sixteen Saltines" and it was also the only song I really liked. The songs are all inventive and catchy, which we've come to expect from Jack, but everything just felt a little off. 3.5 stars

unremarkable but not terrible

no stand out tracks

It sounds old school but in a new manner. It's ok.

01) Missing Pieces - 7,5 02) Sixteen Saltines - 8,5 03) Freedom at 21 - 7,5 04) Love Interruption - 8,0 05) Blunderbuss - 7,5 06) Hypocritical Kiss - 7,5 07) Weep Themselves to Sleep - 8,0 08) I'm Shakin' - 8,0 09) Trash Tongue Talker - 7,0 10) Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy - 7,5 11) I Guess I Should Go to Sleep - 7,0 12) On and On and On - 7,5 13) Take Me with You When You Go - 7,5 TOTAL: 7,62 (76/100) Current ranking: 140/303

One of Jack White's best, super solid variety of all of the best aspects of his style and sound. Love this album, and if it wasn't clear by now he's just one of my favorite artists hands down so maybe I'm biased but I love pretty much all of his work.

Good album

I liked this album musically. Lyrically it was hit and miss but overall, I liked where this was going! Worth another listen, one day...

Dit was ook weer fantastisch, geef ik teveel 5's?

it was okay

Jack White was the lead man in White Stripes. Favorite track: Love interruption other picks: missing pieces, sixteen saltines, freedom at 21, i am shakin

The album started off strong, and while the second half slowed down, it eventually shaped up into a great work. I love Jack White's voice and singing style. My favorite tracks are "Hypocritical Kiss" and "Weep Themselves to Sleep." Although I wouldn’t call the album a masterpiece overall, "Weep Themselves to Sleep" has become one of my all-time favorite songs.

surprised how much i like this...always been big on White's singles but never his full albums, with any project...but idk something in the grab bag of songs here clicked, feels relaxed and fun and unambitious in an inviting way...i dunno, maybe i'm just getting Old Enough for this shit 8/10

Great sounding album through and through

I think his guitar skills are underrated. He does some really amazing stuff.

Immaculate

Some really good tracks on this one that I've enjoyed for a long time. "Sixteen Saltines," "Hypocritical Kiss," and "I'm Shakin" are among my faves. Giving this album a bonus star because it's the first one generated to me that I listened to right when it came out. These were the earliest days of Spotify and I thought it was the coolest thing that I didn't have to go sailing the seven seas with me mateys to experience new music.

Solid first “solo” effort by a fantastic artist that has carved out his own niche.

I've returned multiple times for the bluesy, barroom-style playing. Jack gets a 5.

I continue to hold Jack to a very high standard. There are some scorchers in here and there are some stinkers. Raconteurs continues to be the best version of his work IMHO

Piano-forward arrangements were unexpected. Still, kinda mid, as the children say.

I really like the music. Jack White is an excellent student. The pop structure is there. Smooth af production. He never reinvents the wheel, but he makes very nice wheels. Honestly, I love Jack White, but the music is so good, sometimes I kinda wish someone else was singing. 4/5

This is a good first solo. But he was peaking on the White Stripes when they broke up so this feels like less of a record. Still good though.

It was okay. Just not something I can imagine longing to listen to. At least not right now. Maybe another phase of my life. Definitely has potential.

This is good. Like a bit more of an involved bandy white stripes with more thought to the arrangements. Some good songs too, but none that I wanted to save as a 'great' song.

Unremarkable. Some nice Yardbirds style guitar sounds, but the best song on it by a mile is his cover of Little Willie John's "I'm Shakin'" . I am surprised that this qualifies as an album that anyone needs to hear - everything on this was done much better by him in the White Stripes, and before that by the first 3 Gun Club albums. Anyone would be better informed by listening to Magic Sam's Black Magic, or Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch , or Sun Ra - Space Is The Place none of which made the list. One Star for not being good enough at all, and for needlessly taking up a space.

3 1/2. Good sound with interesting instrumentation through different genres such as blues and country. However some of the songs are just okay and it falls off in the 2nd half. Would listen again.

What can you say? Dude knows how to create a hooky riff.

Jack white sounded like an angsty teen throughout the entire album.

Love Jack White. Very generous to add this album to 1001.

I dug this album but with the exception of Karen Wilson's backing vocals the album was more of the same from Jack White. I'm giving it three stars because while I enjoyed it there wasn't anything groundbreaking to have it earmarked as essential listening

some stuff its a little cool but wont really stick to me

meh

Good rock 👍

This is a weird artist - at least as far as my musical tastes go. Some of the music is actually not bad and some is terrible. I can't think of anything to compare the tolerable bits to, but some of the parts I really don't like sound like intros to children's parables from the days of old. Vocally he sounds a bit like Robert Plant with his testicles dipped in hot water. Even more odd is the fact that he seems like he's singing quite clearly, but I find it difficult to understand. With music that I like, the understanding vocals part is easily skittered around. That is not the case here. I have to admit I've not listened to him enough to speak to the fact of how talented or not he is. Musically he sounds quite competent - it's just something I really don't care to listen to.

eh. very whatever

I enjoyed this album but I think I could have died not having listened to it to be honest. It’s all a bit generic and unremarkable really.

Decent

This album really surprised me, because I hate The White Stripes, and I don't like the particular bluesy, stripped-down rock White does in other places like with The Raconteurs. However, I liked this album, from the piano to the more complex melodies in many songs. It is more subdued in most songs, which I really like. There were one or two songs that got a little too Stripesy, but I generally did enjoy it. I'd probably give this a 3.5 stars, but I feel myself pulling towards 4, just because I do think I'd listen to it again, and it surprised me so much, I do have a good feeling towards it, right now.

Jack White is an interesting guy. I like him. I like this album. But it seems to fall a little short of his White Stripes work. I’ll still listen to it again a few times, but I just don’t like it as much.

Was amazing, loved it

Joder, ¿es cosa mía o esto siendo de 2012 tiene pinta de ser de una década antes?

By the end of this, I realized it was going down pretty easy. I think I have a bias against Jack White now. Loved the White Stripes when they came out, was such a breath of fresh air. But I think I know too much about behind-the-scenes Jack, about how analog he is, about how precious he is about where he records, etc. Things that don't really matter to me at all but for some reason irritate me because now I know that much about him. Nothing particularly grabbed me here but it's good work.

Equal parts heart and hokum, Blunderbuss is fine only. As easy as it was as a listening experience, it's hard to understand why it made the list. Best track by a country mile is the grand, splashy 'Weep Themselves to Sleep'. White somehow downgrades Little Willie John's excellent 'I'm Shakin'', giving it an irritating edge. Some cool guitar stuff dotted here and there, as may be expected, but I was mildly surprised to find that the piano is the superstar on this album.

#322. If you look through all the albums I've rated three stars, probably about 83% of the time I just said some variation of "It's not bad, but it's not my favorite." Well, this wasn't bad, but it's certainly not my favorite. 3/5: fine Song added to playlist: Blunderbuss I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book.

Pretty good

Pretty good solo debut from the former White Stripes mastermind. Feels a bit a weird not to have Meg's distinctive barebones-yet-full-powerhouse style of drumming at first, but it's nothing that can work against this slightly different beast of an album. *Sixteen Saltines* is the obvious retro-rock highlight here, in the vein of Jack's former legendary act. And if some of the other, generally moodier and more restrained, cuts are a little hit-or-miss, you can still find little gems among them (like "Love Interruption" or "Weep Themselves To Sleep"). It's just that a reasonable amount of self-editing would have worked in favour of the record as a whole, that's all... That said, nice touch adding all those delicate piano parts on a lot of tracks, or that cello followed by a jazzy double-bass on the hypnotic and melancholic "On And On And On". And "Take Me With You When I Go" is a great closer, starting with a Dave Brubeck-indebted extended introduction (except that it's in 6/4 and not in 5/4), before going to the more classic retro-rock territories White will always be associated to. Is *Blunderbuss* "essential album material", though? Nope. Close, but still second-tier. It just cannot stand the comparison with the White Stripes, sadly. And even if you don't compare the two, there are still moments on this record that feel a little too low-stakes, in spite of the stellar musicianship and the skills involved. Jack's music, as awesome as it can be, has always had "derivative" aspects, that's unavoidable given the sort of artistry he favors. But there's a limit not to cross so that said derivative music yields truly "historical' albums in the long run. 3/5 for the purposes of this list. 8/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3) Currently listening to Jack's latest surprise release *No Name*, his return to more straightforward pleasures (effective as hell on this listener), after a dreadful decade where the man lost his way through cringeworthy and hackneyed "experiments" so as to find a new sound for himself. Looking at you, *Boarding House Reach* and *Fear Of The Dawn*. You see me darting those reproachful glances at you??? Yeah, go inside a hole and never come back! It's a little too soon to know if *No Name* could be mentioned in a list like this one. But only after two weeks, it's got more chances to do so in mine than *Blunderbuss* after 12 years. I can empathize with White for wanting to experiment ideas and not rehash the same sorts of songs all over again after the White Stripes's demise. But now that he has had his fun, it's the audience's turn to have a rewarding listen. And after all, Jack is *also* having tons of fun in *No Name*, it's pretty obvious. Because everything in it is what makes him *truly* tick. You can't change a leopard his spots, I guess. And this, whether those spots are red or blue... Number of albums left to review: 89 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 392 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 228 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 291 (including *Blunderbuss*)

I don’t know, I wasn’t offended by this. Wasn’t sitting there hating it. But if this came on in a restaurant, it’d be music that I wouldn’t even notice and would have no reaction to because I’d forget what it sounded like immediately.

Riffs, diverse, rocking

Geggjuð plata.

Rock on freaky bro 🤟

Squeaky clean, poster-boy pastiche of yesteryear rock styles. I've never been a fan of this stuff. A couple of nice tracks, and I like how he borrows from garage rock, psych rock, etc. within his blues rock palette. But overall I find the songs and the sound uninspiring. Maybe I'm not nostalgic enough for "good old fashioned rock n roll". 2.5*

Fantastic. Love his melodic style. Very distinct voice and really interesting guitar tones. Even when the tones are harsh, they feel appropriate.

an ok album

I'm a huge sucker for Jack White when he goes crazy with his electric guitar and tons of different tones and pedals. I love this album just for "Sixteen Saltines" alone. However, this is a very lopsided album for me. A big percentage of the songs on this one bore me. Sorry Jack :(

JW knows how to write a catchy melody, and though the album starts and finishes on a shaky note, there are some real bangers in the middle part. Weep Themselves in particular stands out. Most other songs sound like blues rock written for a Disney movie. Take that as you will. 3 Mickey Mouse ear hats out of 5

5/5

Great tho some of the rave ups are conceptually jack white schticky still solid and varied effort.

I like Jack. Don't think I've heard anything he's been involved with that I didn't like. I haven't listened closely to his albums tho so can't rank them. Enjoying the a lot so here's 4 stars

Should not be on list

Outstanding. Every song.

I wanna call this fun rock. I like that there are more instruments joining in as well.

Quality set of tracks from Mr. White. All above average, but nothing amazing.

2/5 Very inconsistent tracklist which has moments of melodic brilliance, more moments grating to the ears, and even more moments of sheer boredom. Not an enjoyable experience as a whole, with the production not great, sometimes actively bad, and White not acting as a particularly compelling lyricist at all. In fact, it's like listening to the very worst of old man Paul McCartney in the later stages of the album, with an attempted whimsicality which is just annoying for the most part. Missing Pieces 4.5/5 (FAV) Sixteen Saltines 1.5/5 (LEAST FAV) Freedom At 21 3/5 Love Interruption 4.5/5 Blunderbuss 3.5/5 Hypocritical Kiss 3/5 Weep Themselves To Sleep 2/5 I'm Shakin' 2.5/5 Trash Tongue Talker 2/5 Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy 2/5 I Guess I Should Go To Sleep 1.5/5 On And On And On 4/5 Take Me With You When You Go 3/5

dnf at track 4 :/

I listened to this at home, on the Bluetooth speaker, and also at work, with ear buds, and there was actually a huge difference in my perception of the album both ways which is interesting. With the speaker at home it was just alright. Nothing spectacular, somewhat melancholy. But when I listed to it at work with earbuds I could hear all the little subtleties in instruments, and of course the beat right in my ear. So much better! Listen again:yes Purchase for my collection: maybe Favourite Song: sixteen saltines

This particular album from Jack White just really isn't my thing. It's not a bad album though, just not my bag.

Not my type

You know with Jack White what you will be getting, and I was still pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. While it had his distinct style that has defined the White Stripes, he still fits in various styles and mixes up the sound. Genuinely enjoyed, but probably not one I'll come back to often just because White Stripes/Jack White is definitely music I need to be in the right mood for.

no

Weep themselves to sleep was alright. I'm shakin cover was decent. Outside of that, I found this album pretty uninspiring.

Not a deep or complicated album, but great fun.

Typical Jack White shredding a guitar but I’ve always felt it’s not as good as his White Stripes albums

Jack White's vocals - annoying in the White Stripes, annoying as a solo artist.

Jack White’s first solo album has a couple of catchy riffs, but it’s not enough after two listens for me to want more. He’s got talent, singing isn’t for me. 3/5

Fav: Missing Pieces Least Fav: Take Me With You When You Go

Really a 3.5. I was never into The White Stripes - I just never really bothered listening to them - so I didn’t have huge expectations. I liked this - it was a bit of Hendrix, a bit of glam, and a lot of the Stones, and I could definitely imagine myself listening to it again some time, when that’s the mood I’m in.

This anecdote is going to make me feel ancient, but here goes: in August 2014 (when life was still relatively good and the world didn't feel like it was on the verge of imploding all the time), I saw Jack White live at a local music festival that no longer exists. It was my first (and will likely be my only) music festival experience as I quickly realized that I was too old for that at the ripe old age of 22. I mainly bought my ticket to see Arctic Monkeys, but Jack White was the last act of the festival and I thought, "Well, I'll never actually pay to see him so why not stay for him." I mean, like, "Seven Nation Army" is rightfully iconic, and was incredible live. This album is... fine. I like a few Jack White/White Stripes/other Jack White bands songs, but none of them are on this album. "Weep Themselves to Sleep" was the standout track for me though.

3.5. was this really good it am I just a battered woman simply relenting after the abuse this list dishes out in gaslighting me on what a good album is?

Ok

Not the white stripes but certainly not a BLUNDERbuss either!!!!!!

Somewhat monotonous, but also has a few strong songs.

A few songs I really liked and a few I really didn't.

Excellent album. A blend of blues, folk and rock that sounds like it could have only been made by Jack White. The piano in particular sounds great. The production throughout is spectacular. I love those bursts of fuzzed out hard rock guitars on certain songs. Front to back great songs but some of my favorites are the punk-sounding "Sixteen Saltines," the blues rocker "I'm Shakin'" and the epic drama of "Weep Themselves to Sleep."

I first started writing about this album and how I really like Jack White and The White Stripes but how I wasn't sure if this one needed to be on this list, but after finishing the record I'm editing what I wrote because I think it does deserve a spot. It's not the most memorable album of all time, it's not even in my top 100 list of best rock albums of all time, and the songs kind of have this "came and went" thing to me, but I think it's a plenty solid record. "Sixteen Saltines", "Love Interruption", "Freedom at 21", and "Blunderbuss" are all great. The lingering problem remains for me though after listening to this, writing half of my review, and now listening to some tracks again the next day and finishing up my writing here. There's just a lack of lingering with these songs and they don't hang onto my short or long term memory banks. I don't have a perfect memory but I'm usually pretty good with song lyrics and chorus melodies, but as I sit here now, 24 hours later, I'm struggling to think of how "Love Interruption" goes, which is my favorite one on here. I love his guitar tones, I think the drumming is super cool on this record, his unique voice has always sounded great to me... I just don't know why, but when this album finishes it doesn't maintain the hooks in me.

I've been a fan of The White Stripes since I was a teenager, but never listened to Jack White's solo stuff. This was decent, although kind of forgettable. As it turns out, the only song that really grabbed my attention ("I'm Shakin'") wasn't even written by him. Whoops. More of a 3.5.

I liked Blunderbuss more than most White Stripes stuff, which does absolutely nothing for me, but I still only found it good in places, not throughout. It has a personality and a little bit of playfulness, the piano is pretty good throughout, Weep Themselves To Sleep is the standout track but Trash Tongue Talker is a quality little throwback rock and roll sound too. It's a middling 3 but one that left me surprised that I liked it more than I was expecting to.

Not really my thing, in the most part - he goes a bit too bluesy for a lot of it to fit my taste. It's better when it's heavier- Sixteen Saltines is the stand out to me for that, Weep Themselves To Sleep gets there but takes a while. 3/5.

интересная музыка, но сложно преодолеть что тут не поют а кричат)

I really enjoyed this album, great tunes, Jack White is really a very talented guitar player, one of the very best ;-)

Always glad for more Jack. It doesn’t quite hit the heights of White Stripes but it’s still enjoyable and another fun inclusion on here.

Two in a row in my record collection! I'm such a fan of Jack White, he's really an incredible guitarist and songwriter. While I don't think his solo stuff ever hits quite as hard as the White Stripes, he's still got undeniable chops and a few bangers. "Love Interruption" and "I'm Shakin" especially, those are seriously great. Just another great album, I'm riding the high. Favorite tracks: I'm Shakin, Love Interruption, Missing Pieces, Freedom at 21, Sixteen Saltines, Take Me With You When You Go. Album art: He committed to this color palette on a couple albums, and I respect continuity like that. As far as portrait covers go, it's pretty solid. Is that a buzzard or a vulture on his shoulder? I don't know the difference. 4/5

This is a great album that could be mixed in with any rotation of classic rock albums while having 21st century themes. My favorite tracks from the album are Freedom at 21 and Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy. This album is definitely worth a listen. This album has gotten lost in time as just 12 years after release, I do not know anyone who remembers this album with any sort of nostalgia. It is a good album that has certainly flown under the radar. Perhaps it just was not meant for the era of social media but it is a shame this one has gone unnoticed. It is not my favorite album by any means but it is a good listen and I would gladly put some of the tracks in my current rotation of music.

Preferred this to the White Stripes stuff.

So fun. This is a really strong 2.

Blunderbuss is the debut solo album of Jack White of The White Stripes. Compared to The White Stripes this album contains more traditional blues (rock). As one critic wrote: "an entertaining rollercoaster of a listen".

Jack white is awesome!

This is one talented motherfucker.

Not bad but extremely repetitive.

Yesterday was The White Stripes, today is more Jack White. I’m not complaining, I like most everything Jack’s been a part of. This album is no different. Great instrumentation, vocals, production, and songs. Not as good as he was with Meg, but stijl solid. 4/5

Simple, amazing

wow haven't listened much to Jack White. Enjoyed this one.

"Sixteen Saltines" ballert halt; "Love Interruption" ewig-wunderbarer Ohrwurm Wertung: 🟦🟦🟦🟦/5

I like Jack White's style! I like when he focuses on guitar riffs or strong beats, interspersed with quick or emphatic vocals. Take Me With You When You Go is a good example of this. Icky Thump another example from the White Stripes catalogue. I cruised through this album and enjoyed the ride, it was over too soon.

It all sounds good, but in the end I'm not sure I really care about any of these songs other than a couple of them. It's a nice listen but certainly not essential.

Clichéd rock stuff. Felt like I was back in the Seventies, and not in a good way. The end sounds like someone had listened to The Kinks a bit too much.

I like the way how Jacko has moved along from the his 'n' hers approach to making music. The White Stripes were ACE. But he shows here that he has a little more depth to his talents. The full band adds an element of depth. You're not focussing on the lyrics or the riffs alone. Weep Themselves to Sleep is terrific. Not outstanding, but still half decent.

Solid album. There seemed to be a lot of hype for this album back in 2012, but I've never really been a major White Stripes or Jack White fan. Upon more close listen, I like a lot of the vibes here and it's a bit more nuanced with some softer/acoustic tracks. Jack White's voice is just a touch irritating though. ***

This is nowhere as good as the worst White Stripes album. His solo work never did it for me, had some songs but never seemed to recapture the magic of The White Stripes.

1001 Albums Day 11 Sonically consistently great throughout, shows the mark of a student of the greats. Sadly the lyrics are consistently lacking, being either mind-numbingly basic or a bit bad, often falling prey to the amateur trap that just because something rhymes and sounds good doesn't make it a great line, it has to mean something as well. Sadly unlike the music it borrows from it doesn't make up for it with complexity of structure or playing, leaving the entire record as being fine if a bit basic. In fact, the only song I feel any compulsion to listen to again is Sixteen Saltines. 60/100

It's fine but not an overly interesting album. Not sure the media love for Jack White, I guess because he's a pop artist. There are plenty of other modern players that exceed his ability but are never discussed.

I like Jack White in most of his incarnations. This is a slickly produced record that retains at least some of the grit.

I just never cared about Jack White post White Stripes. Most of the stuff I heard from him post seemed self indulgent. This wasn't as bad as i was expecting but there's no way i'm putting this on over a White Stripes record.

It's not as good as The White Stripes, it's missing Meg driving the song forward with her "interesting" approach to drumming. But it's bluesy and dirty, and my toe is still tapping. Jack White can play a guitar and I'll gladly listen to this one again.

It's good. Saw Jack White live when he was touring this album back in 2012. Phenomenal show. Songs don't feel as exciting on the album as they do live, but not bad.

Not really my genre but appreciate the talent

I’ve heard at least one album with Jack White on this journey already, as part of The White Stripes. This is his first solo album after the group’s breakup, and it becomes apparent that Jack had been greatly affected by not only his split from former bandmate Meg White but also his divorce from Karen Elson. Throughout a fair amount of these songs, Jack makes clear that he’s not that sympathetic of a character, showcasing in the lyrics how damaged his views on love became, and characterized by the female vocals supporting him. It’s not inherently bad on the surface, but it might be uncomfortable given how frequent he plays the “evil woman” tropes here. However, even if this album is lyrically difficult, the music is still pretty good. There’s solid guitar work, tight melodic compositions, and a fair amount of genre hopping between garage, blues, folk and even touches of hip hop done well to keep it varied. In particular, I enjoyed the rocking “Sixteen Saltines” that continued the bombast of past White Stripes hits, along with well done acoustic ballads like “Love Interruption” and the title track. Overall, Blunderbuss is a hard pill to swallow lyrically, but worth checking out.

While I prefer his projects more than his solo albums, this has grown into a classic. It's aged very well. Easy 9/10

Very musically interesting. Lots of different song ideas and very diverse range of sounds

Decent album. A bit White-stripey and you can hear the country influence. Worth a listen, but not earth shattering.

Meh meh

Kind of fun. Low 4.

I fw it

Not sure where this ended and the autoplay began, but I liked what I was listening to 7/10

4/10 - I did not enjoy most of these songs tbh. His voice was pretty annoying and I did not like most of the instrumentals.

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting, which was just very mediocre.

So much talent. Brilliant producer, guitarist and keyboardist. But something critical is missing; it sounds like product instead of art. I think back to the White Stripes' Elephant (which I think is brilliant). Same voice, same musical inclinations and it FELT genuine. This, by contrast sounds like one clever idea after another just laid out as they arise, with no overarching vision, nothing to say, no effort at coherence. I wish he would collaborate more. Because all of that talent could use some critical feedback.

Nah this guy doesn't deserve 4 places on this list

Not my favorite release in Jack White's discography, or something that I always find myself coming back to, but there are certainly rewards on this album whenever I happen to come across it

Classy guitar rock melodies and cool keyboard definetly recognizable voice with raspy kinda radio sounding effects. A bit repetitive album but also because it keeps the same vibe throughout. Decent listen

Sixteen Saltines

Jack White just rocks. Easy as that. Never delved into his solo stuff before, but very familiar with his White Stripes and The Raconteurs. It was cool to hear this album and read about it as well. Definitely keeping it in the mix.

I wanted to like it more than I did cuz I remember when he went solo and got all these Grammys and stuff so I was excited to listen to it. Sadly, I just really don’t like his falsetto singing which is a good chunk of his songs. Some of the guitar riffs are nice I guess. I did like the slower Love Interruption though.

Wasn’t blown away but enjoyed it. Timeless sound, couldn’t place it in a decade.

I’m more familiar with Jack White’s work with The Ranconteurs and The White Stripes, so I had a feeling this album was gonna have some jams with slick guitar riffs. There wasn’t anything that blew me away but I did enjoy the variation between the songs, you can definitely see the influence from different genres that he draws from.

A solid rock album. Feels pretty timeless for something that came out in 2012.

It’s quite good, though confused how it’s one of the best 1001 albums when so many others to choose from….

Just sounds like more jack White. Don't see what this adds to list beyond what White Stripes already achieved.

Jack White has a formula and this is very much that. It’s good though, but if you’d told this this was white stripes or from a different time period I’d have believed you.

I really liked this one. It's essentially a modern take on the rock'n'roll genre, with a particular highlight on the rocking electric guitar and country-esque violin. There's a clear Beatles influence (particularly from their early career) and some similarities to the guitar and bass of Rush. Some nice soulful harmonies in the organs, guitars, and vocals, though I feel the vocals could be a little stronger. The vocals are a little goofy and pretentious most of the time as well, and the album isn't particularly cohesive. That being said, though, I was pretty engaged throughout the experience. There isn't a single bad track on here, and very few "middle-of-the-road" ones. It might be worth checking out the White Stripes after this. 4/5 Key tracks: Take Me With You When You Go, Sixteen Saltines, Blunderbuss, I'm Shakin', Love Interruption

It's a typical Jack White album. Keeping his regular good level.

Que álbum incrível. Musicalmente é muito bem executado e rico; o timbre da guitarra com distorção é perfeito; e a levada das músicas é dinâmica. Estou ouvindo pela segunda vez enquanto escrevo, posso dizer que me surpreendeu bastante, não havia dado atenção ao trabalho de Jack White fora do White Stripes. Definitivamente algo que farei mais.

A whole lot of meh. . Props to him for finally expanding his instrumental palette, but I am perplexed why critics keep enjoying this shtick. It's like no one is brave enough point out that emperor has no clothes. The tracks "Love Interruption", "Freedom At 21", and "On And On And On" were bearable. "Love Interruption" frankly sounds like a poor knock off of a Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration. Honestly, another Jack White driven album that no one needs to hear before they die. I would not be surprised if it comes off the list in further editions of the book. It gets a 2, instead of a 1 because Bob Ludwig mastered it.

I liked the second half of his album pretty well. Probably 3.5. Also learned that jack white took his wife’s last name which is cool!

Finally. A great album all the way through.

Eminent album. Melankolsk, stemningsfuldt. En “vibe” ala noget Stones. Album er føjet til min egen favoritliste.

Et album man bliver i godt humør af - ligesom The White Stribes :) De forskellige musikgenrer kommer godt til sin ret hver især, med gode forskellige instrumenter - klaveret er et af mine yndlings! Trommerne måtte gerne dominere lidt mere, men det er jo selvfølgelig ikke et The White Stribes album. Jack White har en fed stemme der passer til lidt af hvert. Et generelt velkomponeret og behageligt album. "On And On And On" må være mit favoritnummer på denne plade.

A lot more bluesy than I had initially expected when I first saw the album pop up and listened to the first few riff heavy tracks. I appreciate the piano coming through a lot. And while it's a little inconsistent I also enjoy the mix of country and blues influences on the different tracks like 'Hypocritical Kiss', 'Trash Tongue Talker' and 'I'm Shakin''. On some of the tracks like 'Freedom At 21' the vocals remind me a lot of "Mindless Self Indulgence" Standouts: Love interruption Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy High end of 3/5

I don't really have anything bad to say about this one. It's well written, easygoing but not boring and earnest but not pretentious.

I've listen to The White Stripes, but never Jack White solo stuff - I'd listen to it again

Not horrible, but not something that I'd wanna come back to. Maybe if I let it grow on me

7.5/10! This is pretty solid and I quite enjoyed it. Some songs I liked a lot and I had fun with the rest! I loved the bluesy rock and a lot of the interesting and creative choices made musically. It's also lyrically so profound and poignant, especially surrounding the topic of death. Great listen!

Polished White Stripes

Varied, not too long, nothing unpleasant, but I wouldn’t listen again

Bit samey Jack. Simpsons: Yes

Wasn't really something I'd listen to again, but had some good bits. Mid table.

I liked it. However, I won't probably ever listen to any of the songs again. Sorry Jack

I really enjoyed this as a first impression. It feels like an album that the more I listen to it the more I’ll appreciate it. Loved the beat of Take Me With You When You Go, gave me Take Five vibes which I feel was intentional

Take me down to the PolEEEECE! There's a few more ghost notes in the drumming than when he was with meg, but the backbone of the beats is still pretty simple, in the best of ways. But geez just do another stripes album. SOmetimes the solos sound like me myself dicking around with a new synthguitar sound. While it breaks no ground from the stripes or raconteurs, it is Jack White, a generational talent, and is fun neoblues/rock. It's a tough task it seems figuring out what relatively contemporary (last 20 years) stuff is gonna stick.

2,5

I would say it's definitely on par with the other White Stripes albums I've had on the list. Jack seems to have a very acute knack for catchy songwriting and riffs and always delivers quite a bit of variation throughout his records which I appreciate. I'll file it under albums I could come back to if I need something random to listen to. 7/10

It's really good, I hadn't listened to it before and will probably go back to it now!

Good for him, he finally got someone in his band who actually knows how to play the drums. I did find the album enjoyable, but somehow there’s also just something about his music that ever so slightly makes me cringe. But that makes it sound like I enjoyed it less than I did

this album was actually pretty good! yet another guy i haven't heard of and i really dig his modern take on blues music, it's VERY soulful and introspective. the way that a lot of songs are arranged and sung seriously reminds me of similar blues and even yacht rock songs from the 1970s; this guy nails the style to a T.

Grwat

This was fine, but his work in the White Stripes is better.

Never heard the album before. Great rock and blues album, a good amount of experimentation and stylistic variety but never sounds disjointed or out of place. I'm really impressed. "I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me"

I've been listening to "I'm Shakin" for a couple of years so it was nice to hear the surrounding album. I didn't find it incredible, but it was enjoyable.

I had this CD (or possibly still have this CD somewhere, maybe in a shoebox in a closet - no longer have a CD player). I really enjoyed the piano accompaniment on "Weep Themselves to Sleep" and "Trash Tongue Talker", also the ragtime like sounds in "Hip Eponymous Poor Boy". Love how the songs evolve, for example the way it takes off at the 2 minute mark in "Take Me With You When You Go". Love the fact that I still find this album intriguing 12 years later. Thanks Jack!

Really enjoyed this. Will be listening to it again.

Very experimental for a rock album. Love the jazz influences, especially on I Guess I Should Go to Sleep.

Odd but poppin

Jack never fails to deliver.

There’s a great deal to like here, cool melodies in abundance, a few ferocious hooks, and less of the DIY fundamentalism of some WS records, though maybe it's slightly overdetermined (characteristically so). Maybe slightly too frolicsome (see “Go Back to Sleep”) for its own good, with the nods toward doo-wopy blues and ragtime and the too-many vaguely proggy mood shifts and overwrought structures. but there’s less of the trying-too-hard effect and look-how-retro-rootsy-we-can-be vibe of the WS records. “On and On and On” is great and “Hypocritical Kisses” and “Love Interruption” and the opener nearly as good. Funny that the title cut is just about the subtlest.

Never listened to any Jack White outside of the White Stripes before. And there it is again: the energetic White Stripes- sound. 🎸🥁 🎹 But it has widened and developed. Not reduced and pure any more. Much more diversified and even more listenable. No fails. Probably a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ album but therefor I need a few more listens. Favourite: "Sixteen Saltines", "Weep Themselves To Sleep", "Take Me With You When You Go"

It's alright. I appreciate the variation in instruments. Not crazy about the female vocals.

Meh, mostly.

O álbum de estreia do Jack White traz muitos dos elementos que ele já mostrava interesse durante sua fase do White Stripes e até mesmo do The Racounteurs, como uma certa experimentação com a guitarra, letras ambiciosas e uma clara inspiração no blues e folk adaptados a sua maneira. Não é como se tivesse algum ponto extremamente negativo nesse projeto, mas não me parece um trabalho extremamente inovador ou que consegue surpreender, mesmo que em toda faixa tenha alguma surpresa, ao menos ele soa bem nos meus ouvidos e, apesar de naquela época o Jack White já ser um dos nomes mais consolidados do Rock alternativo contemporâneo, querendo ou não como debut solo é quase como um recomeço para ele, e nesse sentido ele parece ter apostado seguro para fazer apenas um bom álbum.

Most of this album sounds like it's trying really hard to be 50s-70s blues, the rest is slightly more modern indie. Overall an ok listen, but I wouldn't call it amazing. Kudos for the somewhat novel approach of alternating between all-male & all-female backing bands, though.

Amazing album. Jack white sure is a master at his craft

Great music. I’ve only know jack from white stripes, but his solo stuff is very good.

I'm about 1/4 through the list and the logic of what is on here vs. what could/should be eludes me. I love most of what Jack White puts out and he doesn't really put out bad music. This album is one of my least liked albums of his though and I do not understand why it was selected over any White Stripes album, any Dead Weather or Raconteurs albums, or even any other solo Jack White albums. He even did a duet album with Loretta Lynn. This album is decent, Trash Tongue Talker is a good track, but it ranks mid or lower tier Jack White and I'm finding myself more often than not disappointed or confounded by the picks on this list.

I think what you get with Jack White is always going to be something that is at least going to be interesting. This was a solid outing and I really enjoyed it.

I don't really get it. I didn't know that Jack White had a solo album. I get that he's this rambling jangly blues rock and roll troubadour or whatever--and makes a lot of music that fits that mold and all of it is fine and kind of runs together. Is this essential? Along with other albums he's done as White Stripes? I don't think so. Just kind of background music, and a couple times I thought, "this album is still going?"

Have you ever wanted to hear an album from the 2010's? If you do then jack white is the album. One of the reasons why you should listen to it is the sounds of the song.Another reason is the lyrics,The lyrics might be dark but the lyrics are pretty good.This is why I think you should listen to the album jack white.I would recommend this album to a friend because I am sure they will like it too.

The Blunderbuss the best lyrics u could understand and relate to i thinks this is a very good album i think that because the lyrics is something u could understand my second reason is because also the lyrics is something that tells you the story and wanna know what happend? who did it? why are you feeling this way? its just good i also love the instruments and everything I recommend it 100% because the lyrics and instrument the album song names will just pull you into the song

i fw this heavy 3.5/5

Ojämn. Ok, men inte mer.

good one, but I have a problem with Jacks music and it is that its quickly tiring
