Blunderbuss is Here

Jack White's anticipated new album, Blunderbuss was released April 24. Check out the reviews below!
"The fascination with White has endured partly thanks to his mastery of traditional rock'n'roll skills: power, volume, dexterity, charisma. But his talent for untangling and confusing those same tried-and-true ideas is just as vital. He's playing a frightfully sincere take on the blues wearing frightfully silly outfits. He's singing truth and authenticity while fibbing about his back-story...Blunderbuss hangs in a kind of limbo-- it's closer to earth than his fantastic White Stripes yet further away than the sometimes-pedestrian Raconteurs or Dead Weather. It's got some of his best pure songwriting yet, but no earth-cracking riffs. Still, as a treatise on loss and its schizophrenic aftermath, Blunderbuss is a purposeful success. 7.8/10" -Pitchfork

Blunderbuss is, quite simply, a marvelous rock album — one that, along with the Black Keys’ El Camino and Gary Clark Jr.’s self-titled teaser EP in advance of his Warner Bros. debut this fall, is injecting energy into an ancient art form." - Pop & Hiss / LA Times

"4/5" -The Guardian
