One of the best newer bands out there, imo.
Their biggest challenge is the songwriting quality, though.

Terrific band. Really liking their new one, which is a change of pace for them for sure. I can understand the people that followed them from the start might feel like they have abandoned their roots or whatever - but hey, Beggars Banquet sounded nothing like the 1st few Stones albums right? I think it's ok - maybe even necessary - for bands to change/grow as long as it's in Interesting directions. And Turn Blue is a really interesting CD.

Well I haven't liked Blue so far, I'm hoping it's one you just need to listen to a few times.

Newer is sort of relative (to the Stones!), I guess, since they've been around since 2001. The songwriting has become more of an issue since they've become less blues-based--they had no shortage of terrific songs on the early albums, IMO.

Different ears. The more I hear of this group, the less I'm impressed with them. Now I get Jack White's complaint, they sound like a really watered down version of The White Stripes.

There's an incredible boot out there of Jack White @ Bonnaroo last weekend. Stellar.
