Consolers of the Lonely is not as terminally boring as the other records.. the first Dead Weather record was solid. But yeah, he gets too caught up in himself and particularly bad directions his music can go instead of keeping it simple. As to the Dan/Jack twitter battle, I think the entirety of it is so mercilessly stupid, not only are they trolling each other, they're trolling the entire country and are doing it so damned well that nobody even realizes!
