The raw, bluesy debut cut in a matter of weeks at Third Man Records, with Alison Mosshart trading vocals with drumming Jack White on cuts like "Hang You from the Heavens" and "Treat Me Like Your Mother".

A quick follow-up that arrived less than a year later, darker and more claustrophobic, hammered out in short bursts between the members' other bands.

The third album after a five-year gap, gathering singles issued along the way and rounding out the group's swampy garage-rock sound with fuller production.
