Jun 28, 2021Copy of a copy of a copy. Incredibly uninspired and boring! Why don’t you try something new for a change?!

Apr 12, 2023Overcompressed and tired. I believe the only reason people listen to this is simply that Jack White is in it. The composition is so simple and redundant it's remarkable. An AI would write better guitar licks and riffs if it was fed a random high school rock band.

Oct 4, 2019Help Us Stranger moves garage-punk polymath Jack White from the Sixties to the Seventies. And from the sounds of things, he, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler did it in Z/28 with an 8-track player and a hash pipe.

Jul 8, 2019The Raconteurs have found the sweet spot between quality songwriting and tight musicianship, and both the blustering boogie and longing ballads present throughout the album shouldn't be considered empty-headed guilty pleasures.

Jun 27, 2019Help Us Stranger and Let’s Rock are simply great records from very different bands coming from the same ideals: Rock is a living thing, and guitars can be your best friends in the war on jive.
