Raconteurs Leaked

OK... I haven't posted in a few days, so I'll try and make up for it today. First off, the last time I wrote I mentioned that The Raconteurs' new album 'Consolers of The Lonely' would be released this upcoming Tuesday. But, like most of the highly anticipated albums released these days, this one has mysteriously found its way onto the interwebs before it was supposed to!! I feel a little bad that it has leaked though, what with The Raconteurs actually trying to guarantee that everyone would hear the record for the first time at the exact same time as everyone else, but alas we now live in a world where patience has fallen by the wayside. Anyways... I'm currently listening through this album for the first time and my initial reaction is me wondering if this is the same band? Their sound has EXPANDED.... and I mean that in the most positive way. Lots more keys, lots of horns, banjo, violin, guitar used more as an accent instead of a focal point. Don't get me wrong, Jacky still shreds, he's just not overloading us with his Rockery. It also sounds as if they recorded this live, directly in the studio.... no pro tools bullshit on this piece. All in all, I need to go change my diaper. If you too want to get your Jack White on, search 'Consolers of The Lonely Torrent' on Google and one should pop up.
