Very raw and visceral. The Dead Weather specialize in a no-nonsense, no-frills style of rock and roll, and although some of their creative choices seem questionable from my perspective (Old Mary, I'm Mad), there still can be no doubt that the Sea of Cowards is a good piece of modern rock music. Any fan of Jack White's other projects should be pleased with this offering.

Stark, harsh and jarring, Dead Weather solidifies Jack White's reign over guitar rock, even if Alison Mosshart remains somewhat unused.
