    It’s the freshest and most exciting rock and roll album to come down the pike in years.

    On No Name, he’s done something special on his own terms, delighted and surprised his audience, and provided one of the great rock moments of the year. [Oct 2024, p.30]

    The playing here is terrific and as good as, if not better than, anything on De Stijl, Elephant and Icky Thump; the writing is locked in and the production sounds as consistent as anything he’s ever manned. Throughout the 43 minute-runtime of No Name, Jack White sounds like everything you need him to be.

    With his trademark pliability anchored deep beneath the surface, he is able to swerve from garage blues (“A_01,” tentatively) to glimpses of the Raconteurs (“A_03”) to electric folk (“B_02”) with a coherence few can replicate.
  5. On solo album number six, the meal is lean and hella spicy.

    Jack White’s surprise album retreats from grandiose musical ideas (that could be hit or miss), back into the safety of his bluesy rawk. However, that doesn’t diminish the ripping results, as No Name is a blast of direct six-string aggression that is ultra rare in 2024, which puts it in its own timeless class.

    NO NAME isn't quite as white-knuckled as the first time White made music like this, nor is it as hooky as those White Stripes songs that took them from underground weirdos to superstars. But it's exciting to hear White fully return to the sound he's best known for, with its no-nonsense execution heightened by the thrilling manner in which it was released.
