Summary: Consolers of the Old Fogies
Comment: The Raconteurs are ... radical. Don't even listen to Consolers of the Lonely if you have sensitive ears. It sounds like Jack White left the tape running - thank god. This is what all the old fogies wish they could hear (today) from an early super group like Led Zeppelin in their prime. They tweak and twist all sonic sensibilities just far enough without breaking any confidence in how the story ends. It cuts across generational boundaries in music taste in a way that nothing this year has done - so far. If you ever wanted the White Stripes to pick up a few more instruments, this is your chance to hear what that could sound like with masterful musicians holding them in hand.

Summary: Fantastic Album
Comment: If you want something a little different this is it. If you like the White Stripes you will love this. I heard it on WFUV in NY which plays lots of great music and purchased it only hearing one song. The whole album is great

Summary: Strange Vibe
Comment: The riffs and hooks seem so obvious and derivative. I don't know where I've heard them before (perhaps 40 years of classic rock radio ??) As another reviewer mentioned, there's something "off" here. I realize that reviews are supposed to describe things, but I just can't explain it. I liked the first album. But for some reason I'm just not connecting with the songs on this album. Some of the lyrics are cool, but that alone doesn't make up for lackluster songs. Instead of a full band approach, it seems like a Jack White production all the way. I felt the same way about Loretta Lynn's comeback album a few years ago, which Jack White co-wrote, produced and played on.

Summary: fantastic!
Comment: I recently heard the Raconteurs on a local radio station and loved 'Consolers of the Lonely'. After learning that Jack White was part of the group my interest was piqued as I think he is an incredibly talented musician/singer/producer. A friend gave me the CD a couple of days ago and I am listening to it as I type. This one has me captivated. The variety and complexity of the music is just what I would expect from any group which Jack White is involved with. This is a must have!

Summary: One Of The Better Rock Cd's Of 2008
Comment: I love this cd for only a couple of songs, but these songs got so deep under my skin I cant go a day without listening to them,
Many Shades Of Black-Very atmospheric song the horns add great texture to the song, it's an instant classic. Jack White Is one of the greatest guitarists out right now, and he'll be in the rock hall of fame sooner or later and Brendan's voice flowed very nicely over the music suiting it very well.
You Dont Understand Me-Smooth,relaxing, love the piano!
Five On The Five-It's hard not to love this song it's hyperactive, how
can one person have so much talent Jack White? This guy can wail on the guitar and his pipes fit songs like they were tailored.
Hold Up-A fun party song, sounds like a night out with the boys.
Pull This Blanket Off-Love It!
Buy This CD it's great!
