Is anybody else diggin the new CD as much as I am??? Very little hype surrounding it, which is a shame..it's fuckin brilliant...some of the most original shit i've heard in a long time!! Much more than just a Jack White side project, these guys are a full-fledged kick ass band...
The Switch & The Spur is one of the coolest tunes of the year by far..in fact from track 3 onwards, this CD feels like an instant CLASSIC..you will not take it out of your player

I have been loving this album as well. As far as the "hype" goes, I think this was intentional -- I heard they weren't going to do any interviews or promos for the album. Also, they announced the release of the album one week before its release, so that The Raconteurs didnt have to deal with critics, and so that fans get the first opinions of the album. They only finished recording the album about 6 weeks ago, and its been out for about three.
I am loving the songs "Consoler Of The Lonely" and "Carolina Drama". Would love to see this act live.

I don't know what crazier... this marketing method... or us actually agreeing on something.
I'll go with the latter.

Are the Raconteurs better than the White Stripes? I haven't heard much of the Raconteurs so I can't really compare the two.

It is really good :music
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!
