Raconteurs & Gnarls

Consolers of the Lonely, is the 2nd offering from The Raconteurs.  It is decent album.  Definitely not as a good as their first release Broken Boy Soldiers.  Brenden and Jack produced/arranged the music which might be the problem.  Sometimes the outside influence a producer helps to focus a group.  It sounds a little boring in some spots.  Consolers is growing on me with each listen. 

Gnarls Barkley also give us their 2nd release, The Odd Couple.  There a couple fun highlights such as, Going On and A Little Better.  The whole album feels like an old school R & B album.  This one doesn’t feel as fun as their first, St. Elsewhere.
