Raconteurs' new album 'Help Us Stranger' - fresh classicism

The Raconteurs have a new album out, 'Help Us Stranger'; the critics seem to be inclined to like it, so it's overtly positive reviews:

"The beauty is in the timeless joy of hearing two world-class songwriters, cut from two very different sides of a similar cloth, come together" - DIY Magazine

"This album is timely proof that White may actually be at his best when he’s constrained by the framework of collaboration" - Variety

"Blend and mix barbed pop and blues skronk so their classicism seems fresh, not stale" - AllMusic

"White and Benson aren't trying to reinvent rock'n'roll, they're just bashing out some catchy tunes, and it's a blast to listen in on these old friends reconnecting" - Exclaim
