Broken Boy Soliders
The 1st Reviews are in.

I can not pass up that today is New Music Tuesday and the Most eager awaited (depend who you talk too) Side project or New Full time Bands from the Lead Singer of the White Stipes Jack White, The Raconteurs' "Broken Boys Solider" it in the indie Store (you Should Support them you know) and big box store as well. The Band consit of Detroit Native Jack White, Solo Singer Brendan Benson, Greenhornes Bassed Jack Lawrence(Who also playin Blance) and Drummer Patrick Keeler(also from the Greenhornes), The Alumble was record in 2005 before and during breakin touring with Jack Primer Band The Write Stirpes on a world Wide tour to push there 5th alblum Get behind me satan" the alublm which i been told by some trusht Moles told me the alblum is very good to really awsome, We 1st song from the new CD was relese in Januray of this year with Limited release of a 1000 copies in both the UK and the US of "Steady, As She Goes" With a good video to boot Which was direct by indie film Mavrick Jim Jarmusch and now after months of talk and pre press hyped is the alblum any good i search the internet for the 1st reviews.

The Detroit News: It's good to hear White -- who, make no mistake, is still a full-fledged White Stripe -- having fun and loosening up.(B)

The Boston Globe: No matter the source or the style, each track is varnished in a psychedelic glaze that works like glue -- bonding the arena rawker ''Hands" to the roiling British Invasion showpiece ''Intimate Secretary" and prog-stomper ''Store Bought Bones" to the languorous waltz ''Blue Veins."

The Tech(M.I.T. Student News Paper):With only ten tracks to gather an opinion from, it’s still impressive how smoothly Jack White dovetails with his band-mates and takes to his new role. The more worthwhile achievement of the Raconteurs, however, is in proving that classic rock still has a torch worth carrying.

LA Times: That's what the Raconteurs are to White so far — a great place for him to refine his hand.(4 Stars)

USA Today: The foursome generates more enthusiasm than originality in pop-powered tunes that revisit the prog-rock, metal and psychedelic realms of bands from Led Zeppelin to Boston and Free. Whereas the Stripes crib from early blues giants, The Raconteurs find themselves in cheesier company, or specifically, Bad Company, copping liberally from B-list 8-tracks of the '70s.(3 stars out of 4)

NME - New Music Express: The Point Begin this: The Raconteurs are, right now, an entertaning idea and everything, nut that's about it. Fun for them, a guaranteed money-spinner, but when it come downto it, it ain't gonna change youw world any. Not quite a rich man' fooly, but close (6 out of 10)

NY NewsDay: The single "Steady as She Goes" seems to back that up, with the off-kilter harmonies of Benson and White bouncing off the Joe Jackson-inspired bass line and the guitar roar. It's easy to see how they knocked out this song and decided to pursue an entire album.

Boston Hearld: The collision of avant-blues-rock mad genius and meticulous power-pop craftsman in this side project quartet results in “Broken Boy Soldiers,” a heady stew of psychedelic pop with a heavy dose of classic rock nostalgia. (B+)

NY Post: Don't be concerned about the album's rampant musical kleptomania. White and his partner in crime - songsmith Brendan Benson - have borrowed riffs and beats, taken them to the chop shop and rearranged them into something familiar, yet original. The disc is a tight 10 songs, and there isn't a dud in the batch.(4 stars)

The London Evening Standerd: The closing Blue Veins, as the title suggests, is one of those eerie modern blues that White excels in, but the honours are so even here, it could just as easily have been written by Benson. God, what a lovely racket! (4 stars)

Pitchfork.com: Yet, as already established, forced perspective makes even these small steps appear as significant strides for Mr. White.(7.4)

From most of the review i read so far the CD is good most of the reviews i read like the Harmoy between Jack and Breaden and even compair it to 60 pop and 70 arena Rock, But most were mix on the lenght of the alblum clocking in at less than 34 min. but most of the review are good.

And The Raconteurs will go on a summer tour and yes that do have a detroit Date a detroit date in Ann Arbor, The Band will go on tour for Three weeks beging on June 16 in Denver and finsh in Cleveland on Auguest 6, and the Next to last date is detroit but if you want to see Them you have to Drive drive I-96 to the M-14 to see them in Ann Arbor, Yes friend there not playing the Madsonic Themple near downtown, But 43 Miles west in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theater on Auguest 5th Tickets go on This Friday at 10 AM but i tried to see how much ticket cost but could not find it, but tomorrow is Metrotimes and real detroit Weekly is out well give you more infomation.

well jack told the world why he left Detroit is the New issues of Spin now in the new GQ, Brendan Benson told why he also move out of Detroit but for far ugly reason, He was attack eatlier this year at a gas station, a robber KO him with a trie iron and took his Wallet and Cell Phone, i tool up to 11 sticeds to close up the wound but still suffers headaches and has trouble concentrating. and after that it was over. “I just felt like, you know what, I can’t champion (Detroit) anymore.” I hoped Kmean is not reading GQ Next Mouth.
