I can see this ratings thread becoming a battleground between the forces of good and evil.

I really don't like 'Many Shades Of Black'. I keep thinking of Freddie Mercury... for some obvious reason!

These Stones Will Shout is a nice track, I skipped to it on the suggestion of right-track. I'm turning this off for now though I'm not in the mood.

Now you say it yeah, it has that same jerky feel to it. I love Jack's vocals on it.

After another listen I vote average. There's nothing interesting here, it seems like Jack White really doesn't have any original ideas in his head. Which sounds insulting but he does rip off other people well.

you must give him some credit for how well he may do that at times.

Not being original is what i think stops him from being MUCH better than he is.

and just curious Crow, who in your opinion is he ripping off? (not saying he doesn't, just curious who in your opinion)

I wasn't meant for it to be insulting, I mean most artists don't do original music and just copy other artists I think Jack White does it much better than most but still I get kind of tired of hearing him rehash other people, even if it is an improvement upon them.

I've never heard a Raconteurs/White Stripes song that doesn't sound like another band. I'd say he most frequently borrows from Led Zeppelin, Billy Childish and on this album it seems like he's just going the big classic rock sound thing.

Pretty unremarkable record, sadly. I thought it showed so much promise upon the initial listen, but most of the tracks failed to grow on me and the overwhelming feeling is that White hasn't brought along any particularly new ideas since Icky Thump. In fact, much of the record I could describe as sounding like Icky-gone-wrong.

Now, I don't mind playing around with the ideas of other bands and coming up with something fresh and of your own in the process, but much of this just gives the impression that White is, above all, being derivative of himself. I mean, just how much does "You Don't Understand Me" reminisce of "A Martyr For My Love For You"?

I wanted to give this so much more but instead I'm left with the bitter taste of disappointment. Average.
