Typh's somewhat weekly CD reviews

[Typhoid]

There is very little music talk here, so I shall try to compensate.
I like music. It is, as some would say, my boyfriend. I listen to a lot of different types and styles, and I will try to cheaply review some CD's from time to time, here. They may not always be brand new, sometimes it might be something that just needs more attention.


For the first, I'll start with The Raconteurs, Jack White's other-other band.

The Raconteurs released their second album. Consolers of the lonely in a rush style, announcing the release date a week before the actual release, followed by tour dates. So this might go under some people's radar.

The CD, to simply put it, is solid. Start to finish, it's a raw rock album with an old-style sound to it, with thick basslines, raw guitars, and light melodies. The standout tracks on the album - for me - are Salute your solution, and Hold Up. If you want to get a little more melodic, but not too much, Rich Kid Blues might be more your style.

I would highly recommend purchasing the album, if you liked their debut at all, or if you generally like good music. This is one of those albums that will stay in your CD player for months on repeat.
