Whatevs. Jack White is the garth brooks of yo yos. Most of his music bores the piss out of me.

What's most tragic in [White's] fall from genius to megalomaniac bozo is that this once cliché-kicking hero is following the most boring rock excess path imaginable
Ironically, he predicted this on Little Room from White blood Cells.

I think its kind of amazing that something that tries SO hard to be "abrasive", "difficult", and "edgy" can be so damn boring. I put those in scare quotes because I realize this is pretty relative.

I actually don't hate this so far...yeah, Blue Blood Blues is tuneless, but it does have a (awkwardly Kraut-biting) groove to it, and Hustle and Cuss is way cool...
This might be the my favorite thing Jack White has done since Get Behind Me Satan.

Been listening to this on YouTube...there are some dire moments on this ("I'm Mad"?) and, yes, I liked it less once I figured out who Boss Hog is, but I still think it's okay. The De Stijl retread "I Can't Hear You" aside, it sounds like 10 separate failed attempts to turn "Blue Orchid" into a prog song...I kind of like how I can't tell Jack's voice from Allison's...
It's better than Plastic Beach.

I still stand by this. I was just listening to this for a bit and it's def a mixed bag. Turns out, I hate Blue Blood Blues but I can still totally get down with The Difference Between Us

Hey, they have a new album. Sounds like them. The song where Jack White rap-sings is maybe not so good.

congratulations to these cunts who i'd never heard before on creating the most nauseating record i've ever heard via some perfume advert
