Really happy that I waited for the release of Foreign Tongues prior to listening to any of it. I think it’s better experienced as a whole. Concur with your listening experience; anticipating heavy rotation here, similar to Hackney Diamonds. Nice that they end with one of their early covers. Looking forward to your review, sir. :)
I tried 3 of the songs from the new Jack White yesterday and enjoyed them very much. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Is that Miles set played at triple time like some other 60's live sets with his quintet? While it's technically impressive to play that way, the music wore me out and didn't improve the studio versions.

Thank you for Frozen Charlotte, sir. Apple’s algorithm failed to include in my new releases. Wow! On occasion, thought I was enjoying Zeppelin’s Presence. Digging very much :)
Look at the love for Jack White! I'm excited now.
I always found The White Stripes and Jack White off-putting, mostly because of his voice I think although I've gotten over worse, but I always took notice because there were snippets here and there that made my ears perk up. I listened to Frozen Charlotte this morning. There's a Zep energy to the guitar playing that really appealed to me. "There's Nobody There" and "Dollar Bill" are where it's most evident. I can see the appeal but I'm not quite there yet. The playing is great but I think the songs themselves lack that little extra that would bet me on board...
His last record was one of my faves of the year. Here's a snippet of what I wrote about it.
"The music you will hear on "No Name," at least to these very Zep friendly ears, is what Jimmy and Robert were doing on their first three records. It's swampy and funky, and it reeks of Son House and Skip James, just like those White Stripes records were purported to be, only "No Name" nails it."
This new one is def more of the same.
