This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Jack White - Lazaretto. I will focus more on art graphics design and photography rather than the music aspect of the musical content for this particular album review.
Jack White is a world renown guitarist that has been in the music business for some years now. The album Lazaretto was inspired by a collection of short stories, poems, and plays that whom Jack White wrote when he was 19 years old many years ago. Only to be rediscovered years later right in his attic. The intro is played at two different speeds. Lazaretto is a lot better than Blunderbuss. Not sure why this album did not get more news coverage and footage by NPR.
The stage set and stage props for the album photography shoot remind me of the Disney movie Frozen.At the front album cover, Jack White will remind you of the Edward Scissorhands character. The dark monotone blue scale miniature statues will remind you of the inside booklet of a Prozak album The stage sets will remind you of Frozen. The cold chilling winter scenery of the front cover foreshadows the albums mood. That would have been pretty dope if the front cover was a holographic lenticular printing for a front cover. In fact a holographic lenticular printing for a front cover would have been doper.
I rate this album, Lazaretto, 4/5****.
