General Album Comments

Seanchan: That was not what I expected! Certainly a different sound than The White Stripes. Jack also sounds a little different but I guess thats what 20 years will do.

Raetsel_Lapin: This is a great album, one of the few where I can say I didn't dislike a single song. Very glad we covered this one and I got a chance to find several Jack White songs I like after my response to the last album featuring him.

HBJDubs: I dislike almost all of Jack White's content, but I actually kinda dig this album. I am pleasantly surprised! This is why I like participating in these; you never know when something you would normally never give a chance proves you wrong.

neonreaper: Fairly easy to digest most of this album. I think my ordering was pretty clear after the first spin.

BlueCrystalTear: I tried listening. I lasted two and a half songs before I realized that this album was nothing more than someone yelling over a lot of noise. I hated every second of it. Another week's version of myself might've loved this but this week's me didn't. This headache is exactly what I didn't need right now.

Johnbobb: you know I was a little hesitant about doing a Jack White solo album. I listened to Blunderbuss, his original solo album, and though it was just okay? Like it was immediately forgettable; it really just kinda sounded like a White Stripes album, but with less personality. But that was also a decade ago, and it's nice to see he's reshaped his sound a lot into something that's much, much more distinct than years back. This album was surprisingly incredible. I kept listening kinda just hoping for a song that wasn't a standout so it'd be easier to rank, and I never really found one (except Dusk, which barely counts).

Seanchan: This one was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't the biggest fan of Elephant, so I was kind of dreading doing another Jack White album. Thankfully this is a very different sound than The White Stripes. Other than the bottom 2, my ranking is pretty fluid; this is another one of those albums where there wasn't a super clear cut #1. I also think I liked this more as an album than I did any individual tracks. Still, the fact that I did an extra listen to this during the week is a pretty good indication that I enjoyed it.

jcgamer107: My album of the year so far, 'Fear of the Dawn' is a major return to form for Jack's solo career, featuring more intricate composition and mixing, bolstered by his trademark garage rock energy.

MetalmindStats: I could just as well have ranked places 3-8 in any order.
