unbelievable October 8, 2008
This is the best album Jack White has ever been a part of. And the White Stripes are probably my favorite band. But there's so much more to this album than just White. Patrick Keeler is a beast on drums throughout, LJ has some good basslines and keyboard parts, and Brendan Benson absolutely shines, especially on songs like Many Shades of Black, Attention, and Consoler of the Lonely. Everyone talks about how much more this album sounds like the Stripes than Broken Boy Soldiers did, but probably the biggest improvement to this album is how much stronger Benson sounds both on vocals and guitar. The overall sound to the album is stronger. There's a lot of start and stop/push and pull rhythms going on, and it's a lot harder than BBS was. There's some strings and Mariachi on a few tracks too, changing things up a little bit. It has some great softer moments as well. You Don't Understand Me is great, and I still get goosebumps listening to Carolina Drama.
This is easily one of the best albums of the year, if not the best. Jack White is one of those once in a generation talents in songwriting, and then when you combine it with the rest of the guys on here it sounds even better. If you like music just in general pick this album up, and go see them live. I saw them about a month ago. It was unbelievable.

tastier each listen October 2, 2008
Excellent record full of creative arrangements & great production. Songs are delightful and dynamic. This well-balanced band ROCKS live and provides a perfect vehicle for J.White's compelling tendencies. I smell a Grammy nomination. Enjoy in abundance!
It doesn't get much better than this. September 25, 2008
Simply put, this is one of the best albums I have heard in years. It is excellent the first time you hear it and it gets better everytime after that.
Maybe it's Jack White, maybe it's all of them combined, but if you are a fan of good solid music, you will love this.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Keeping it simple:
This is literally one of my favorite albums I have ever owned.
It's amazing.
