alright, let's see how this is.......

after one listen while answering emails...

there are definitely some hits and misses, but overall, i don't think this really deserves the huge amounts of disgust that the blogosphere is throwing its way. it by no means sounds much like anything he's ever released (aside from a couple of songs that continue his nashville-country-rock sound), which i respect and kinda dig. this is very different than Lazaretto, which i disliked. there are some really, really interesting things going on here. some of the lyrics are completely inane, and that almost-rap song is kinda cringeworthy. but damn, some of the instrumentals are pretty great.

i don't know how often i'll listen to this as a whole album, but some of the songs will probably stick. i'm glad i checked it out and didn't just write it off bc of negative reviews.

OK, now I kind of want to hear it.

Hard to explain what genre/ genres this is. I guess Jack White doing a hip hop album. Why Walk a Dog indeed.

Man this is some self indulgent bullshit.

In a way, I respect that.

Strat · **Posted:** Sat March 24, 2018 1:47 am

Im only 4 tracks in and not sure I can make it to 13.

However, neil youngs new paradox film is on netflix tonight and i hear that is a slug as well. Tonight is going to be interesting.

Jack white is playing a video game over boom gaspar slamming down on the piano

Strat · **Posted:** Sat March 24, 2018 1:52 am

Geezes.

Honestly, watching these songs being pulled off live could be very exciting.

Strat · **Posted:** Sat March 24, 2018 1:59 am

Is this Jack Whites "Trans" ?

Strat · **Posted:** Sat March 24, 2018 2:11 am

True Story: I wish Pearl Jam would put something out like this.

"Ice Station Zebra"

Ill probably listen to this again. its just so wild. Its not so much that its bad, or even that its any good, but its just a massive "wtf was that shit". I kind of respect that. Its an interesting listen.

LetMeSleep · **Posted:** Sat March 24, 2018 2:55 am

Holy fuck, this is terrible.

I don't think it's this crazy, experimental thing. It's just a bunch of bad songs.

Humoresque is good. Awkward in a nice way.

All the loops? instrumentations? changes? Instrumental breakdowns and diarrheas ? over dubs? weird fucking choir additions? rapping?

yea, its awful. But there is a lot going on that you gotta respect in a sense. No?
