Arriving at stores all of a sudden in March, Consolers of the Lonely is an exciting new album by the band The Raconteurs, featuring perhaps most famously Jack White of the White Stripes. One of the things about this album is that it is a very strong collection of rock and roll songs. The songs list is obviously inspired by 60 and 70 hard rock, reminding us of such bands as Led Zeppelin. The music isn't really fresh or feels new, however, The Raconteurs make up for it by having a set of strong songs. This is not a groundbreaking album, however, it is an essential and exciting affair that really lets Jack White stretch his imagination. Good fun.

an amazing album and in my opinion an improvement on their first. tracks are catchy and with jack whites signature voice ever present where can they go wrong.

Top tracks include Salute Your Solution, Attention and Many Shades Of Black.

A must buy!

ah my dear jack and brendan how i loved both of your other works...jack with your likkle white stripes..and brendan with your lovely melody driven beatles copies...when you boys get together who knows what will happen...no but seriously..you cannot knock jack white not even a year(i think) after "icky thump" and here we are with a new Raconteurs disc...well done boys....i wasn't expecting too much and in some ways i got what i expected...but the songs are just so good that it still deserves a solid four stars..its just that i feel and maybe it's because i look at mr white as a musical hero of our age..that there could be sooooo much more...maybe i am just asking too much as when they can knock out such gems as the title track we should instead of criticising thank the lord they exist...
