Jack White Boarding House Reach [Digipak]

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's his strangest record, but per usual, it shows his continued devotion to rock's dark arts: the tangled cultural roots, 'mistake'-enhanced recording traditions, self-righteous fury and fetchingly-deranged megalomania."
"He sidles even closer to the Purple One on 'Corporation,' which arrives on an 'Immigrant Song' beat and swings wide on a clavinet approximate. It's dastardly funky, loaded with breaks and thick guitar squall..."
"[H]ere, White and a carnival of diverse musicians explored hip-hop, garage gospel, spoken word, digital funk and musique concrŠte, often in a single song."
"Not surprisingly, White's got some thoughts on the subject of influence and innovation, which turn up on his third solo album in the form of 'Ice Station Zebra,' a bashing, swaggering gonzo-funk polemic..."
5 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e sounds totally brilliant....[He] has created something wild, mysterious and unlike anything else around."
Paste (magazine) - "Glitchy 'Hypermisophoniac' sounds like a cassette player eating a tape full of bass licks and jazzy piano noodling, and 'Ice Station Zebra' features what can only be called rapping, over the Jack White indie-rock version of a boom-bap beat -- and he's actually pretty good at it."
