Our Take

The Raconteurs' debut album, "Broken Boy Soldiers", is a raucous romp through rock 'n' roll revivalism that's as charming as it is derivative. Jack White's signature screeching guitar riffs are front and center on tracks like "Steady, As She Goes", while Brendan Benson's smooth vocals add a touch of sophistication to the mix.

The album kicks off with the infectious title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its catchy hooks and foot-stomping beats. "Level" showcases the band's ability to craft a tight, punchy tune that will have you bobbing your head in no time.

However, the album does have its missteps. Tracks like "Store Bought Bones" and "Yellow Sun" feel like they're trying a bit too hard to capture the spirit of classic rock, coming off as more pastiche than homage.

Overall, "Broken Boy Soldiers" is a solid effort from a supergroup that delivers on its promises of energetic garage rock goodness. While it may not break any new ground, it's a fun listen that will satisfy fans of The White Stripes and Benson's solo work alike.

So grab your air guitar and get ready to dance your cares away to the sounds of The Raconteurs' "Broken Boy Soldiers". It may not be groundbreaking, but it's sure to put a smile on your face.
