Raconteurs, Hoobastank, T Bone Burnett: New Album Releases, Week of 5-16-2006
Published May 17, 2006
The nation rejoices: The Raconteurs Broken Boy Soldiers is out today. A grateful nation gives thanks for a new album from Jack White and pals. "Steady As She Goes" will give you the real guitar rock you need, and make you forget about some crappy Pearl Jam nonsense.
T-Bone Burnett gives us The True False Identity. He really seems like more of a supporting player rather than any visionary songwriter or musician in his own regard. He's been involved with some very good records — but I can't remember much from any record of his.
Hoobastank have a new product, Every Man for Himself. They're following up a big hit and this is one of the most prominent new releases of the week, so I ought to say something about them. But they're so nothing and bland that I can't even conjure up decent mockery. You win this round, Hoobastank.
