Not mixed for vinyl
This actually sounds better on the radio! I have read rave reviews on the sound quality of the CD, it is obvious the engineer did not EQ this for vinyl. Almost unlistenable.

Hey My Lords and Ladies, Droogies, and all critters of the animal kingdom. Let me punch you in the face about something.
I know I shouldn't drink and critique' music, but I'm all excited about something.
Just heard the album, "Horehound" by the DEAD WEATHER.
It rocks harder than anything for like the last 20 years....
I know I'm 55 yrs. old, but this CD makes me wanna gobble halucinogens, Have sex in a strangers car. Set it on fire, then run into the woods laughing.
Just like Sister Ray said. Goo goo goo goo goodbye.

Sphincter? I hardly knew her!
Stormy in here. Fevers stuffed with rags. A milk polymorph. A blistered elf squatting on an umbrella. Spiders dancing on the woodpile. Spires sparkling. Clocks killing the cuckoo and Hendrix spinning in the grave.
I give off metal. I sweat in the sweetness. A robot strangling tulips in its oily jaws. I push the buttons, feel the motor's hummingbird hammerings under the grip of my fingers as I roll my bullet-resistant menagerie along. The navel gazes, afflicted with a low range of visibility. The wise one in the manger. A bag of soggy bones.
I strike gold in the bold mold, all told.
Hunched and leaving gravy in its wake. Monstrous lugubricants. Supple dictations. Heaven's musty lantern falling in a clatter. A mist of indignation. A clambering up stairs in the background. Polite coughs ricocheting in the chamber pot belly flop.
Cold as a rolled scold, no bars holed.
Who said Rock was dead?
Leave it up to one man from one of the most hip hop influenced cities in the world to save American Rock N' Roll as we know it. Without Jack White a lot of children would grow up without knowing what a guitar is. In the age of the ringtone, Soulja Boy, and fewer musical programs in schools kids only know what true musical ability and creativty is through such artists.
Horehound
Horehound being the debut album with the experimental band The Dead Weather and was released 2009. The Dead Weather can be said to have a sound that is a mix of indie rock, garage rock, blues-rock and experimental rock. The album did very well both with the critics and the public at large. Rolling Stone gave the album 4/5 and it reached #6 on the Billboard 200 and did well both in France and in the UK. My favorite tracks are "Hang You From The Heavens", "Treat Me Like Your Mother" and "I Cut Like A Buffalo". The booklet is quite strange and does not make much sense to me. All the lyrics are included but not a list over whom plays what. 4/5.
