“Jack White makes heavy, turbulent modern-blues records the same way he pursues his other passion, furniture restoration: with a decisive attention to contour, color scheme and cagey, durable detail. "Three Women," the opening rumble on Lazaretto, is based (with a co-writing credit) on Blind Willie McTell's 1928 recording "Three Women Blues." But White's spin on McTell's overload of lovin' is a tho”
“Since the White Stripes split, Jack White's work has become fuller, but his idiosyncrasies have dimmed a bit, too. Lazaretto, then, makes all of his other projects sound a bit scrawny by comparison. It’s the densest, fullest, craziest, and most indulgent that White has sounded with or without Meg.”
“Jack White's sophomore LP might be instrumentally lavish, but these emotionally vacant songs features some of his worst tunes since the demise of the White Stripes.”
