Review: Raconteurs 'Consolers of the Lonely'



The Raconteurs announced the release of their second album "Consolers of the Lonely" and within a week it was in stores and online.

I've listened to the album once, but intend to listen to it again before formally giving it a review.

Initial Prognosis: Tighter than Broken Boy Soldier, better overall, no singles as good as 'Level' or 'Steady as She Goes'

Jacks still channeling the same influences as on Icky Thump and this album finds itself sounding similar without sounding just like a rehash.

Download: Salute Your Solution (single), Consolers of the Lonely, Top Yourself (Album High), You Don't Understand Me, The Switch and the Spur

Y'know what, I'm really happy someone wrote about this because I'm so into Icky Thump lately, and I didn't even know the Raconteurs had new material out.

I'm really excited about hearing it now!
