The Raconteurs. Consoler of the Lonely

Greta cd, with great songs, great musicians, one of the freshest cd's I've heard in a long long time, I definitely think that Jack White III is one of the few geniuses of the actual American music.
The structure of the songs is also very appealing!
A 10!

a sensational straight-ahead killer rock album

I'm on my 10th-12th listen of this album and it is really one of the best rock albums I've heard this decade. It brings back so much of what was so excellent about late 70's rock (though, it by no means has a 70's feel)...so then what do I mean? I think it is the resulting beauty of the straight-forward but thoughtful lyrics, the tempo changes within songs, the crunchy delicious guitars, and the delight in having two lead singers take on different songs. It is extremely well-produced and an absolute pleasure to listen to. It's never pretentious and seems rahter devoid of ego. I always feel good listening to it and love the "stories". I am so proud of this work and am glad someone finally took this sort of thing on. It will forever remain in my collection and always bring a smile to face. Fantastic.

Consolers Of The Lonely Review

This album is a lot better than The Raconteurs first album. There are more genres of music blended into The Raconteurs original first album sound. There also are better solos and better songs on this album. If you like The Raconteurs first album, you will abosolutly need to get this one.

Great For Summer

I was skeptical about this album after being slightly disappointed with their first album. Not that it was terrible, I just didn't think it was as great as what some had raved-- an amateur, first round-effort, if you will, some good songs and some bad.

But I was pleasantly surprised to see this album is solid from beginning to end. The guitars are heavy, which is great, but there are also violins and mandolins and heavy, vintage sounding keyboards(slightly Edgar Winter-styled) littered throughout, giving it that "retro" sound. It's like a strange blend of The White Stripes, The Band and Exile On Main Street-era Rolling Stones. This is fun rocking music you need to have for your summer soundtrack.
Key Tracks:
Title Track:Consoler of The Lonely(Rockin' in and out of different time measures)
Salute Your Solution(Rockin', good keyboard)
Carolina Drama(tells an epic tale in Dylan fashion. Hence the ode to "John Wesley Harding", civil war era cover art.)
Old Enough(Acoustic Guitars and violins)
Rich Kid's Blues(Anthemic, again, great keys)
