The Raconteurs
 

jack white's new band, just listened to steady as she goes, pretty good song, sounds a bit brit popish doesn't it? who's the other dude in the band? he's supposed to be some rather famous musitian?

argh! Getting mad at people just crediting Jack White. The TRUE driving force behind this band in Brenden Benson. If you like the stuff here make sure to get BB's last two albums as they are really good! Seen him 3 times live and very good live too!

so Benson is like a solo artist?

yeah - but has a band etc... VERY good stuff. NO JOKE. Go get his last 2 albums - you won't be disapointed!

Brendon Benson is very underrated in my opinion

i will have a look out for him on the net see what he's all about.

of course jack white is going to get the credit, he's the most iconic figure in rock music at the moment. its only natural if not totally deserved. and dont forget the greenhornes duo - pretty decent. and brit pop? sorry you've lost me there. overall ive heard 3 songs, like them all but theres nout particularly special about this project. should be a good album though.

sorry for the typo, it's the raconteurs...

oh, and the album leaked, you can find it on the pirate bay....:)

i remember brendan...i liked his single from the album last year....i never looked him up though...
i heard somewhere that they had a name problem. something about another band and the name sabotuers..

so far as i've read it's just in Australia they will be under a different name

saboteurs....raconteurs......i dont see personally?

my new band is going to be called the Masterbateurs http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif

I've had a chance to listen to the album properly and I like it a lot, but the best song is still steady as she goes....

You know, I listened to the 2 songs on the website when it first came out... and wow... I was majorly disappointed. I love the White Stripes, I love them... but I was not a fan of the Raconteurs. I have yet to listen to the whole album though.

ew they don't sound so great, im cool with the difference of the white stripes most recent album. It's not that i really like them i just like how much they changd it up a bit

the album grows on you quite a bit, it just takes a bit of time to get used to the different sound...

yeah it does haha

Loving this album. 'Steady As She Goes' is the obvious in your face catchy tune of all on this album.
'Hands' is more Britpop, in my opinion, in an old school way.
'Intimate Secretary', 'Together' and 'Level' also impress me.
'Blue Veins' = reminds me of Pink Floyd cept' for the vocals.
'Call It A Day' touches a personal, emotional nerve. It's one of those songs that the lyrics carry alone.
Best album I've heard in a while. (I keep saying this).

Only had 1 listen, 1st opinion, not as good as the white stripes
Sorry, I haven't heard Benson's stuff
I'll have to go have a look.

yea in australia its kinda rare to find the album with the name 'raconteurs' on it. i somehow found it, my friend shat his pants when he found out i had the non-saboteurs version. i compared both copied to see that theyre exactly the same, track listings, art, everything, only difference was the name.

and i like the album, real cool. ill check into Brendon Benson sometime soon. i like 'blue veins'. not sure who sings on 'broken boy soldiers', but he sounds a lot like robert plant on that track.

I like the album it's pretty good. Didn't Brendon Benson produce a lot of bands in the 90's?

I have had the album for quite some time now. I listened to it over and over, but it took a while for me to appreciate it. But I had expected that, and now I love it, hurray! It's funneh.

I think that Jack White and Brendan Benson are super talented in their own right. And they really shine in this new venture.

Lapalco (2002) by Benson is well worth a spin!

'Steady As She Goes,' is better than 'Hands,' but I think both are good tunes!

Why Jack? Why?

Because, he is better than you and can do as he pleases.

But the album is amazing. Not quite sure why everyone says it grows on you, it hit me the first time I heard it, 'tis pretty damn good.

I didn`t hate the album but i`m not really a fan of it.

Simple reason really , there`s nothing spectacular about it.For a band containing Brendon Benson & Jack White I was expecting something a lot better than what I heard.

To me it just sounds like it could be any band.

what kind of lame response is that?

I'm sorry love did you take that seriously? My apologies, I never meant to offend, just show some good ol' Jack White appreciation.

i love jack white. I think hes a true icon of our generation. i just dont like his raconteur stuff. it lacks identity and real thought in my opinion.

I like the album, but agree it's not as good as it could have been. Great for White to open up with a 'fuller' band behind him, but it suffers for not being entirely his. Two great musicians, caught between two posts perhaps.

everyone likes steady as shegoes.....

The racounterus suck. their song steady as she goes is significantly better than just about anything the white stripes made, but it still sucks.

blasphemy

truth

fantasy

whatever

I just read in an interview with jack white in guitar world they're going to start working on a new album.

My favourite track is the closer Blue Veins! Classic.

Is anyone else digging Icky Thump? Probably their finest effort since White Blood Cells.

i saw them at acl last year. i can dig it.
i get to see white stripes for acl this year... or arcade fire ... same time, what to do!?
