So I knew who these guys were a couple of months ago when they released their album, and I liked the first single. I saw them on Sunday night with Dr. Dog at the House of Blues in AC. Incredible show, so much energy and they just put on a fantasic live performance. Dr. Dog (a philly band) was also awesome. I went out and bought the Raconteurs disc on Monday and I can't stop listening to it. Catchy lyrics and riffs its just an amazing album. Any thoughts?

    I've seen them at the Lowlands festival in the Netherlands a couple of weeks ago - they were good...like you said - really catchy riffs...

    That N. Sinatra cover was really good!!

    Saw them last night in Providence. Unbelievable live show. I always love bands who have two lead vocalists.

    Also loud as hell. My ears are still ringing. I need to invest in some ear plugs.

    I saw them Tuesday in NYC at Roseland and they put on one hell of a show. I didn't care for the opener too much, but I thought the Raconteurs rocked. TOns of energy, and crazy loud. Good stuff all around.

    I found the cd very disappointing. There are only a few decent tracks...nothing outstanding. The music is run of the mill and the lyrics are sometimes putrid..."I got rabbit and it likes to hop/I got a girl and she likes to shop."

    Enough said.

    It took me awhile to warm up to it. But I like it now. I was expecting a fuller sounding White Stripes. But I am happy that Jack can go in a different direction.

    yeah, they are rad - though i think their album almost hurts them because those songs are all so much better live.

    "levels" is a good one.

    I found it was very similar to Ambulance LTD's debut, except it wasn't as good.
