What makes Dodge and Burn such a terrific and complete listen is how much ground it effectively covers and how furiously it does so.
On Dodge and Burn, Mosshart really makes the album her own and consigns White to the shadows.
Dodge and Burn is one of their greatest.
Perhaps the first time the Dead Weather have truly lived up to their promise, Dodge and Burn is a joyride of an album -- sexy, fun, and dangerous, it upholds the tenets of rock & roll.
White certainly knows his way around a kit and does a fine enough job leading this quartet through its third album. But ... he also forces the rest of his bandmates to play their parts with a clipped inflexibility that makes these songs feel more algorithmic than rhythmic.
There’s a restlessness to Dodge and Burn, from Mosshart’s seething vocals and Fertita’s spasmodic guitar solos to Lawrence’s corroded basslines to White’s abrupt breakdowns.
Dodge and Burn ... is all business: 21st-century grindhouse blues metal with blood on its fangs and railroad hooch on the breakfast menu.
Dodge and Burn is nothing if not heavy-handed in its attempt at conjuring up the same gothic witchcraft The Dead Weather once mastered.
Dodge and Burn is the first Dead Weather record to provide genuine, progressive evidence that this most shoehorned of musical arrangements is perhaps finally beginning to bear fruit.
Such playfulness is sadly lacking elsewhere ‘Dodge And Burn’, a record largely comprised of sulphurous gothic rockers such as ‘Lose The Right’ and ‘Be Still’, both of which sound like a band working from muscle memory.
As comebacks go, Dodge And Burn is a solid effort and possibly The Dead Weather’s most cohesive record to date. It’s just a shame that the band leave it so late in the day to delve into their box of tricks.
Worse than the debut and the sophomore album but still decent. More of these songs are aright at most but there are a couple stand outs
I Feel Love (Every Million Miles) - 9
Buzzkill(er) - 8
Let Me Through - 6
Three Dollar Hat - 6.5

Mile Markers - 5
Cop And Go - 9.5
Too Bad - 6.5
Impossible Winner - 6.5
such a disappointing album. Three Dollar Hat might be my favorite DW song but the whole rest of the record is just SO. FUCKING. FORGETTABLE. it's still not TERRIBLE but it just really doesn't do much for me.
Wow. Catchy hooks, memorable performances, and a more consistent sound while still keeping that manic energy that has made their previous records so much fun to listen to. It's a punchy, memorable and exciting record that could have only come from the mind of Jack White and company, with even the lyrics being much better then previous records. And everyone on this record is playing to the top of their game: Jack Whites drumming has becoming more punchy and direct, Alison Mosshart's vocals are ... read more
Holy hell, this thing is great! With only two real skips, I'm happy to see Jack fully formed as a drummer, and the rest of the band giving it their all.
