...changed radically over the years, such that any assortment of has-beens are dubbed a “supergroup” when they are anything but. To mention two supergroups of this decade, Audioslave euthanized the fury and passion of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine into dull, MOR post-grunge, while Velvet Revolver strengthened the case for a mandatory retirement age for heavy metal musicians. On the evidence of this eponymous debut album, Tinted Windows fits the bill of the 21st century supergroup, not its 1970s counterpart.The first rule of the 21st century supergroup is that it is less...

But the means by which these...
...their 2006 debut, was pretty much what you’d expect: simple riffs and a few catchy hooks punched up by White’s flare for bombast and the duo’s effusive excitement at the novelty of it all. Not exactly inspired, but not quite MOR either—the kind of one-off experiment meant to whet appetites in anticipation of the main vehicle.That being said, it’s difficult to understand why the Raconteurs have returned in 2008. Their follow-up, “Consolers of the Lonely,” masquerades...
