Members aeroslepperin Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 is the album worth picking up? i've only heard the 2 singles off the album and they've both gotten stuck in my head recently...but if the rest of the album is {censored}e, i'd rather not piss my cash down the toilet.

Members CapnMarvel Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 It's good, and I don't like many of them newfangled MTV bands. Brendon Benson's songs are better than White's. Oh, and White overuses the Whammy pedal now - he's like a rootsy Tom Morello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your foot off the whammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dZjupp Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 they were on austin city limits last sat night and i was pretty set back, best rock stuff i've seen in a long time. haven't heard their album material but i was impressed. i like the way he uses his whammy like a wah but the average crowd has a dumbfounded look on their faces as to what he is doing. he also has a POG that he used alot. i am starting to love jack white's simplistic tone.

I Tivo'd it and just watched it a couple days ago. I was really impressed. I was drooling over that Gretsch JW was using. I thought the songs were good, but not mind blowing, but the performance really brought them to life. Benson is pretty rad. I loved the old archtop he was playing. I can't remember who else was on the show, but it was someone I was also mildly interested in. edit: oh yeah it was Cat Power. I love her voice, but she's such a freak, so much so that it makes me like her music less when I watch her peform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daeveed Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 I saw them live last summer at the Virgin Music Festival here in Toronto. I had just heard their first single before that. It was an awesome performance. I am yet to pick up the album though, I usually get disappointed when I listen to a band's album after I've seen them live.... ...kinda the same feeling as when you watch the movie after you've read the book.

Members dmsadkey Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 i caught the austin city limits, too. i was very intrigued by their music. especially the first song - don't know the name of it. i'll probably buy the cd based on seeing them live.

I saw that last night, it was my first time to hear them and I enjoyed it a lot. Only problem I could see was Jack's guitar sometimes got lost in the mix, but I didn't think he overdid anything. That being said, the Whammy can be overdone very quickly so its not too surprising he has done it before. On a side note...I loved his funky 70's 3 pickup guitar. Nice.
