Nice! Glad you like it man - the review and the album! 🤘

Haha fair enough that’s how it goes sometimes! Glad someone’s enjoying them 🤘 thanks for watching

Ah man you’re right a book would be killer, either from Joe or an oral history from the many members and associates. Would be a wild read. Agree Black Lives is the dark horse in the discography!

It’s a classic 🙌

🤘

Right. So, I listened to this album 3 times through today, and yeah. Absolute BANGER for me. If you're looking for an album rip, r/jackwhite is the place, check rule 3.

Awesome! How’d you place it in his catalogue out of interest??

Thanks 🤘

It made my Top 50 of the year overall! Tried to keep the two lists as separate as possible. Thanks for watching 👌

Just check it out on RUclips, the entire album is on there :)

It’s got a wide release now, what do you reckon to it??

​@@doodlereviewo man i freaking love it. I would have liked one or two slower or acoustic songs as well, but yea... killer record

@@doodlereview Gave it a listen today & think it’s decent… I’d be interested to hear how the recording was done. The lo-fi ness of it seems a little self conscious in a way that the White Stripes never seemed to be. I think that up to this point in his discography there had been a pretty steady progression album by album since the WS days in both the use of technology & song writing. It may not have always been for me, mostly in regard to his solo output, but I appreciated the anything goes spirit of it. This is pretty clearly an attempt to look back & revisit that early WS sound (pre Elephant) which kinda works & kinda doesn’t at the same time. I have complicated feelings on this, feels like he’s reduced himself by trying to fit into that little room again. That being said I do think there are a few songs here that are among his best in recent memory. So idk feeling like a 6.5 right now. Maybe further listening will bump it up for me.

Not too far off mine! Lots o’ people hating on Cmon Y’know! Maybe I was just in a good mood when I heard it 😂

@@doodlereview haha. It's alright but very poor and basic songwriting in my opinion

👊

Cheers man! Proud of this one for sure

Good taste 🤝

No way?? Fair enough, I can see that - they’ve never put out a bad one for sure. This one just seems the most haphazard to me

Hahah yep fair play man 🤘 it’s all good music

Oh wow that’s awesome man - I loved the “Overdose” record from you guys 🤘 Will be fun to dive more into the MW catalog at some point, maybe a special episode in the future

@@doodlereview Sadly, I have to correct Gene, he said we were all junkies when he left the band but I never touched junk and didn't have problems until a few years later with the band. I'd be able to offer tall tales about the last 30 years of working in Switzerland that includes tons of QOTSA stories getting them their first gigs here. Let me know how to get a hold of you.

This would be awesome! Let’s definitely hook it up at some point - my email is DoodleReview.club@gmail.com

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah there are so many people in the family tree, would be great to hear more from them. I bet “The Droid” has some stories…

It’s become a real phenomenon! Fair play to Charli, she’s put the time in!

Nice one! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it - agreed, this is one of my favourite eras of the band, something special about that turn of the millennium time!

Agreed, last one I got into was Working with God, but I think this is way better

🤘🤘

Haha cheers - I get that a lot, baby-face af

Thanks 🙏 hope you enjoy!

I’ve heard about this 😂 did you actually use it???

@@doodlereview Lightly. I own a 200 W Sunn Concert Bass that has zero grounding, and as soon as my singer/bassist (was using it) lips touched the mic, bro got McFlyd’ across the room. He was out for almost 30 seconds

Fuuuuuuccck that coulda been lethal! Have seen a similar thing happen with our bands singer at shows though - it happens. That bass sounds amazing 🤤

Fairs, they make great music whatever way you look at it!

Totally agree man, to me it’s like King Gizz, Oh Sees and Ty Segall - normally 1 in 3 new albums is great

@@doodlereview I think my hit ratio has been higher lately for Osees (liked to loved everything they’ve done since Mutilator) KGLW is a little iffier tho still solid & I’ve gradually fallen off the Ty train since Emotional Mugger. Still give all their new stuff a spin tho!

Wow that’s a huge compliment! I didn’t actually. Honestly the iPad is helpful for matching colours and marking out objects relative to where they are on the original - I then just try my best over that and sometimes it turns out good. I appreciate the kind words 🙏

Ah thanks man, yeah this album is a ripper for sure 🤘

Oh man that must have been a rad time - does that include the run they did with Goatsnake?? Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed, Gene was real class. More interviews to come

@@doodlereview I really can't remember the support bands name, But Joey Castilio was the drummer. and yes it was fun times :)

Ahh Joey C! Legend as well. Awesome stuff man 🤘

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve dialled it right down in newer episodes 👍 cheers

Everyone loves this album, so I think you’re right 😂 not hitting for me though 🤷‍♂️

You’ll love it

I think this is part of the reason it went down so well with me - deeper topics, heavy themes - but not hitting you over the head with anything and all the while pretty fun!

you know what? I KNEW as soon as I said that, it was a big call and I'd get proven wrong - I thought I might have been cooking with that factoid 😂 still as far as I can remember it at least didn't seem to be a setlist staple in that short time which is interesting.

​@@doodlereviewyeah right :) one and only time ever ;)

I love this take, and think you might be right. There's something about the psychedelic outsider weirdness of the band in this era that gets overlooked next to the bombast of what would come later. I love it. Thanks for watching...

​@@doodlereviewwell worded!

That is a BIG call...but nothing else is immediately coming to mind to contradict that - you might be right 🤘

@@doodlereview 👍

In fact I listened to the 10th time and enjoyable listen. First time I heard it was a solid album. 5/6 time. Loved it even more. They have a good sound the last dinner party have especially like a bit like arcade fire. They are queen there sparks and roxy there and abba too.

That's really interesting...are Sleep more your bag?

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! The more I hear about Hutch the more the legend grows in my mind! What a guy...

That sounds like a fucking MAGICAL day! How do you get on with High on Fire?

As a huge fan I'd say there's something great to all of them, but you can't deny there is something special about that 'classic' 98 - 02 era.

Truly a good dude / top bloke

Agreed, Gene's a total legend. Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 🙌

Cheers my man! Hopefully a lot more interviews to come!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah Gene played on Millionaire on ‘Deaf’ - he also played on the OG version that was on Desert Sessions ! Big up Gene 🤘

Thanks so much, appreciate you watching!! 🙏

Yeah Gene was a legend, very accommodating! Very jealous you saw the two drummer Eagles set up! Something I’ve missed every time I seen them

🤘 hopefully a new record soon

Definitely - as a long time fan I don’t think there is a bad album, only varying degrees of greatness. I feel like “R” is truly amazing and would be the album that I think stands the test of time against the canon of western music of the last 100 years and represents the band best - but my favourite record can change with the weather. So much good music. Thanks for watching man 🤘

Oh I didn’t know there was another Boeckner project - interesting; will have to check it out.

What did you think of this solo record?

@@doodlereview It firmly falls into okay territory for me, given it maybe three listens & not much has stuck out to me as exemplary, but also nothing on it is bad. Just one of those albums that I’ll likely forget about entirely in a couple weeks.
