The Dead Weather: Sea of Cowards

by Greg Waplak – Queen Elizabeth Junior and High School, Calgary AB Aug 4, 2010

3 stars

Jack White gets in touch with his darker, grungier side.

Low, grungy guitar riffs and Jack White’s darker side combine to create an album full of resentment and hate. The Dead Weather's sophomore album makes it seem like Jack White knows he had much happier times with his other groups, The Raconteurs and The White Stripes. The album isn’t bad though as it contains some powerful lines, but most of the songs do sound somewhat the same. Sea of Cowards lacks a lot of the infectious energy and spunk heard in the songs by his other bands, like The Raconteurs’ Hold Up. Don’t get your hopes up too high when you hear that Jack White is part of this band, because the music definitely isn’t the same as his usual tunes.

Greg’s fave track: Looking at the Invisible Man
