    The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely

    Brand-spankin' new album out today by Jack White and Brendan Benson's band.

    Some previews can be listened to on http://www.myspace.com/theraconteurs and downloaded off their official website www.theraconteurs.com

    I was pleasantly surprised last week when I received their newsletter notifying that they were releasing the new album ASAP through any retailer that would have time to stock the album on such short notice. Its pretty odd how two bands upped their release date out of the blue last week (The Racs and Gnarls Barkley).

    Anyway, definitely lookin' forward to getting this in the mail today.

    Holy crap! How did this release without me ever even knowing it was in the works? Wow I'm really out of the loop in the music world these days.

          Listening to it for the first time as I type. Definitely didn't expect it out so soon, a nice surprise.

              This CD is the absolute balls. Buy it if you like yourself.

                  LOL. Just by going on the "Buy it if you like yourself" part, I think its a good thing.

                    So low self-esteemers need not apply?

                    I'll probably check this out tomorrow. I like Jack White but never was a huge fan of the White Stripes (as in I liked them, but wasn't a repeated listener).

                      I love the Stripes (amazing live) and Jack White's non-White Stripes stuff has been great (produced and played on Loretta Lynn's magnificent Van Lear Rose and has a couple songs on the Cold Mountain s/t). I would love for him to do a solo acoustic country/blues album, but The Raconteurs will fill the void until that happens.

                          That's from Anchorman?

                            Damn Edward Scissorhands and company have dropped a new album already?
                            Like everyone else said this seems like a surprise release. Does anyone know what tracks will be released as singles.

                              I never got into The Raconteurs' first album. It just didn't connect with me, even though I like The White Stripes. But I'm really digging this new record.

                              Take care,
