“#Top31Tracksof2014: Still not sold on "Lazaretto" the album, but "Lazaretto" the single... that I love! It's pure Jack White - from the simple yet distinct riff, the venomous lyrics, the guitar solo that sounds like a bell-end egotistically revving their engine, the abrupt left turn that somehow works - without the combination of said ingredients being overcooked, like I find a lot of the album to be. #bestof2014”

So... I'm not a fan of the album. I feel that it's just too disjointed and has a severe lack of hits to make up for that fact. Maybe a few more listens will have me changing my tune, but for now this and "High Ball Stepper" are the exceptional highlights and strong Song of the Year contenders, for me.
