You'd be grateful for it all if you were him? Grateful for what? That God made him a badass? But by doing his approach to the album, you think that he's no longer grateful? Does that make any sense? So he has to kiss the music "biz"'s ass for the rest of his career to show gratitude? That's like saying that you're ungrateful if you quit a job. Even if your boss is an asshole and you hate everything about him and the way he makes you work, you'd be ungrateful if you quit, because hey, he gave you the job. That's just stupid. And on top of that, you call the hype to White Blood Cells and Elephant "baseless." What hype isn't baseless? Can you name one album and explain to me what the difference between that hyped album and a baseless hyped album is? Sorry, I just woke up, and I'm in an irritable mood. hey shane, no it’s not funny that jack white is taking an anti-hype approach to the new album. you make some really stupid observations.

Without the huge media pre reviews and baseless hype of White Blood Cells or Elephant, where would he be? If I was him i'd kinda be grateful for it all.

I had to go hunting for it. I actually checked out an FYE (in Queens) like you said and found ONE copy of the new Raconteurs album, and it wasn’t even in the right section.
