Recent buzz around their new album made me realize that I'd never actually heard this one.
Pretty cool, it sounds surprisingly original from being largely made of well-worn parts. For a Jack White project, his presence isn't all that strongly felt. For one, a female vocalist handles most of the singing duties. For another, while the album has its share of shredding guitar solos, its really more of a /bass/ album, with insistent, crushing bass grooves riding everything. Generally, the production is strong, stringing the whole thing into a Fallout soundtrack; it sounds equally like its from the past of the West and the apocalyptic not-so-distant future. I'll probably hit it again 4/5
