I've had Broken Boy Soldier since it first came out, but I've been revisiting it lately. The whole album is good, but I really love these two songs:

"Level"

"Hands"

Great music.

hands is probably one of the worst on the album

Opinions vary.

have only one good song

The Raconteurs are fucking terrible. This thread is the equivalent of liking Aaron Sorkin for Studio Sixty on the Sunset Strip.

7/18/2009 10:15:40 AM

why the hate? they've put out some pretty decent stuff

...are just another way for Jack White to try to make America love Brendan Benson.

It isn't working.

Do you troll all of TWW or just my threads, spöogyjon? In any event, you seemed to like The Raconteurs well enough a couple of years ago when you made a thread about them:

And, yes, I saw the post in which you supposedly changed your mind about The Raconteurs. What, did you read some online rag that said they weren't cool enough or some such?

In any event, if you don't like "Level," you don't like rock 'n' roll. It's just that simple.

"I'd forgotten about this thread, but it reminds me of the olden days when there were two songs by The Raconteurs and they seemed really promising. This, as opposed to now, when the whole album is out and it really, really sucks."

There, hooksaw, I posted my statement from the last thread in a way you'll understand. The first two songs were pretty good. "Promising", if you will. Then the album came out and it was boring as all hell and vastly, vastly inferior to The White Stripes.

By the way, lay off the "clever" names for people in Entertainment, or I'll suspend you. You're not eleven.

it's also vastly inferior to their second album, which i suggest you should check out. and if you have already and still think they suck, then that's pretty unfortunate

7/19/2009 1:49:56 PM

Nah, I'll check out the new one eventually. Just gotta get around to it.

7/19/2009 2:02:27 PM

^x 5 All the shit that happens on this board and you're concerned about me changing one letter in your username? OH NOES!!!1 Way to have your priorities straight, "moderator."

Maybe if you didn't follow me around this place posting shitty comments I wouldn't feel the need to create "clever" names for you. Whatever--but don't threaten me with suspension.

In any event, I don't give a shit what you think about The Raconteurs. They don't need the fucking haters anyway.

The Raconteurs - Another way for Jack White to rip off Joe Jackson.
