    I think Be the Void still takes the cake for me.

    Blunderbuss is great and while I appreciate the little nods to his past work it feels predictable in alot of places. Love the album, there are just very few surprises.

    I agree,I love the album but it contains very few surprises,which slightly disappointment me but it's still the main contender for being played on the ipod just now.Am I feeling contradictory :D

    Totally agree..I have now listened to the album like 20 times over the past week. I love it.

    Is there a way to download the video or are you just streaming it? I have a bus trip coming up next weekend and would love to re-live the show, but I will only have Wifi.

    agreed...listened on vinyl and I feel he is the only creative artist out there..."it's like a painting for your eardrums"
    ...reminds me a bit like how beck surprised me with sounds
  • marcosmarcos Posts: 2,112
    Agree, I have been playing the hell out of this in mp3 & vinyl, it's deep and rocks so well. It was exactly what I was hoping for from Jack doing his own thing, perfecto from start to finish.

    I'll add Cloud Nothings to the mix of favorite of the year so far.

    When i first read the title of this thread I thought maybe I had drunkenly started it the night before. Especially with the if for is. I totally agree though, I have had this album on constant rotation. Incredibly good.

    Holy crap, I can't even believe I haven't gotten around to getting this album yet. Getting it now thanks to you guys....so fooking excited for his shows. He sure is the Renaissance man :D

    I am in total agreement! It has been a long, long time since I've put a song on repeat. Years!
    Blunderbuss has been on repeat!

    "You took me to a public place to quietly blend into
    Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want too
    Seems like everybody does this every waking moment

    I laid you down and touched you like the two of us both needed it"

    I've been listening to and buying music since 1974 and feel the same way about this release. It has been a long, long time. :mrgreen:

    If it makes you feel any better, Roseland's sound is terrible.

    Nope, doesn't make me feel any better :lol:

    But all is well- if I had a ticket, what a sweet bill. As it stands that I don't have a ticket, I am at least saving the very little money I have left after going a little trigger happy on summer shows!

    Same here. Saw Rage Against the Machine there when I was 13. Radiohead last year was great too. But the speakers are terrible.

    Between listening at home on vinyl and the CD in my car, I have probably listened to this album at least 50+ times all the way through. I seriously cannot stop listening to it (and Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely. Possibly one of my favorite albums ever)

    Blunderbuss is outstanding! For any of you going to PJ in Amsterdam, Jack White is playing the night before in a different venue (tom petty is also actually playing the night before Jack White). I This seems like a good reason to go to the netherlands a few nights early. PS - tickets to petty and white are available on ticketmaster still.
