Oh man, the first Raconteurs album was terrible. I don't even think it was worth downloading. I'm afraid to listen to the new album. I like Jack White and I'm a modest White Stripes fan; I enjoy their fetish for resurrecting 70's rock, but Unida and Wolfmother do it way better. I'd bet good money that more people would be happy downloading Wolfmother's self-titled rocker than the new Raconteurs album.

I've heard a lot of people saying that the new R.E.M. album is good. "A kick-back to the 80s albums." I'm afraid to listen to it though, because I grew up on a steady diet of R.E.M.. When my dad wasn't listening to the Beatles or the Stones he was alterning (alterning is the alternative form of rocking) out to R.E.M..

I grew up on Reckoning and Life's Rich Pageant so I don't know....R.E.M. was a good band up until Document, and then it was downhill from there. They still had some awesome singles, but there is nothing quite as magical as Life's Rich Pageant.

I still will probably check out Accelerate, I've heard too many good things. Don't let me down popular opinion!
