I was shot
By a Pistol made of bones
I got god
Buying bullets made of stones
Oh the earth fueled the flame
But it was only me to blame
I was shot
By a Pistol made of bones

The shooter was
A mean and mighty ghost
Ooh yeah
He hated me
Because I loved him most

The ones you should fear
Are often oh so near
I was shot
By a pistol made of bones

Oh how could I be so blind?
But the gun was with me all the time

The ones you should fear
Are often oh so near
I was shot
I was shot
By a pistol made of bones

Like the drummer
The Arcs, Black Keys, whatever...Why change the name if the sound is the same?

Within just a few bars I was asking myself, now who or what does this sound like? 
 
Pretty much everything he does is derived from music from the '60s and '70s; that's his whole schtick.
Heard it all before...
And I thought The Black Keys had the worst sound around. This is just as bad.

The title makes me think of David Cronenberg's visceral (literally) film Videodrome, where there are weapons made from character's bodies. Death to the Old Flesh! Long live the New Flesh!

 

yep, it's a cronenberg film, but it's not videodrome, it's the film called eXistenZ

Dan Auerbach somehow managed to sell the same album 6 times over under the black keys and now he adds a keyboard player, changes the band name and is still selling the same album.

Jack White, is that you?

Just listened to the full album and it is very hit and miss.  Some good tracks, but a few clunkers that my kids would grimace at.  

edit:  production values are so hideous that I've now filed it on the shelf as "unlistenable"...
Yeah I was listening to it, thinking it awfully derivative, so I checked the comments - Voila!
Sick of echo chamber" ha!" and " UuH!".  Keep thinking of Pulp Fiction for some reason..

 YOU, my pompous friend, will be delighted to learn, I am; a. at least as pompous as you are, and b. exceptionally talented when it comes to juggling a soccer/football, and copying Gilmour guitar solos on a strat (doesn't work quite so well for me on a Les Paul). I can do a bunch of other stuff that impresses the easily-amused no end. You'd love it. 

YOU, I presume have NO talent whatsoever, I have found that people with talent appreciate true talent. and Critics...well have none.

P.S Best Band in at least 5 years...

"Plays in last 30 days: 9"

That seems a little low.  This one really doesn't stand up to being in a heavy rotation and it seems like I'm hearing it at least once per day here which is not a good thing.
