Music Reviews of Consolers of the Lonely
Music Review: HOLY #^(&!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought their first album and liked it a lot, so when I heard that they were going to release another album I was pretty excited. This album has totally blown me away. I had pretty high expectations for this album and it just blew right through those expectations and beyond. Its like they sat down and said "alright everyone, the last album was good, but this time we are going to go for the most awesome bluesy sound we can get" and this album does not disappoint. It has been a long time since I've heard an album that just made me smile all the way through it. I enjoy every song so much. I would probably need a new pair of pants if they decided to make another album.Music Review: Classic Rock
Rating: 5 Stars
"If you play rock, you're retro."
I've been listening to this album pretty much non-stop for the past 2 weeks.
It is easily the best album of 2008 (even though it's only May).
Consolers of the Lonely sounds like it was recorded in 1974!
Like equal parts White Stripes, The Band, Queen, Judas Priest, The Police, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Phish, Derek and the Dominoes, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Who, King Crimson, CSNY, etc.
"Many Shades of Black" is a brilliant song. I would compare it to Queen and Cream (Queem?).
This is album oriented rock at its finest.
Music Review: Great follow up to Broken Boy Soldiers
Rating: 5 Stars
I am not a huge White Stripes fan, but I absolutely LOVE the Raconteurs songs. This album is a worthy follow up to Broken Boy Soldiers. I think the songs are a bit more complex and may not be as radio friendly as the songs were on their previous cd. That being said, just like their debut cd this one great song after great song. Amazing how they are able to blend sound from the past with their own twists. A bit more White Stripes sound on this album that had virtually none in Broken Boy Soldiers. If you like classic rock, buy this cd. If you like the White Stripes, buy this cd....Buy this cd and Broken Boy Soldiers.Music Review: Expect Only The Best
Rating: 5 Stars
Consolers of the Lonely is different than Broken Boy Soldier and in a good way. They have written songs from several genres and made them rock. Broken Boy Soldiers is a great album in its own right. COTL is a different direction and is great for what it is, as well.They have doen great work with lyrics. There are the tell-tale slides from White's guitar that we all love.Track #14, Carolina Drama, is an absolute masterpiece. Terrific lyrics and masterful guitar blended with a great story. This song will live for the ages.
I love Broken Boy Soldiers, but I love COTL for different reasons.
Music Review: This is a real band
Rating: 5 Stars
If you have read any of the reviews on other sites bashing this album, don't be fooled. Of course it doesn't sound like the 1st Raconteur album..that would be boring....if you have followed Jack White's career you know that he always changes it up with each album, White Stripes, Raconteurs or any other project that he's involved with. I think the bands songwriting/arranging on this album is supperior to the 1st. Great effort!!! I've been a fan of Jack White since seeing him on a whim at a Detroit bar back in the early Stripe days....this album has now become one of my favorites.....buy it!
