Garth 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Has anyone here heard their album "Broken Boy Soldiers"? I really like the single they've put out in "Steady as she goes" and I'm considering going and picking up the album tomorrow. But before I definatly do, if any body that has listend to the album could tell m what they think. On an quasi-related note: I'm definatly in the pro-Jack White Coca Cola advert camp. It's good news.

Renegade 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 It's a bad idea to buy the album based solely on steady as she goes, since all the other tracks on the album have a much different sound to them. It's still a great album though, with blue veins being my favorite track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 I think I'm probably going to go buy it anyway. I just generally enjoy everything Jack WHite is involved in, from the reviews I've read now, I'm sure this album will go down good with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 I couldn't find the album in the stores I tried today. I picked up The Raptures album instead and will go get Broken Boy Soldiers tomorrow now, when I'm back in Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 I just checked and you're right. For some reason I felt sure it was already out this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 So its not a lyrical masterpiece, I still won't be swayed from the view that it's a good song with some fine vocals on it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest abowen33 Report post Posted May 12, 2006 I'm a pretty big fan of the White Stripes and Jack White stuff in general (I dig the coke tune) but I find Broken Boy Soldiers incredibly boring. Brendan Benson's solo stuff is kinda sucky, and his suckyness must have seeped onto Jack. But hey, I strongly dislike the single too, so you might dig the whole thing.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2006 Despite coming from the opposite side of the fence (liking Benson/disliking White Stripes) I agree it's a fairly dull record. It's not bad, just kind of forgettable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
