We have lots of other charts though, so keep exploring for more.
The Rolling Stones Foreign Tongues
The material offers pearls of greatness amid a chunk of banal blues retreads we’ve all heard before Far Out
Jack White Frozen Charlotte
Frozen Charlotte is a classic rock album in an era where rock no longer packs the radio waves Northern Transmissions
Though lacking a standout smash, the legends’ 25th studio set is stuffed with late-career gems NME
Frozen Charlotte is very much a guitar record – and one that is less inviting, at least on initial plays, than No Name. Stick with it, though, and it reveals its many charms and wonders. Print edition only Mojo
The Detroit-bred, Nashville-based rock guru maintains the steady footing he established on 2024’s No Name for another batch of blues-punk barn-burners Paste Magazine
The band’s third album of original material this century feels impulsive and haphazard, as if they had a bunch of leftover material from the Hackney Diamonds sessions that they didn’t know what to do with Paste Magazine
It’s almost unbelievable how a band can still be making vibrant rock’n’roll albums over 60 years after their first. Yet Foreign Tongues can stand tall among The Rolling Stones‘ most compellingly evocative works; once you get used to Andrew Watt’s polished production dropkicking the band into modern times while they tangibly revisit their seven-decade past Record Collector
A bloated, though often fun, mixed bag Consequence Of Sound
These 13 cuts may not stand among his defining achievements, but neither do they break a spell that has endured for nearly four decades Clash
Jack White still sings like a tomcat, and his caterwauling guitar keeps up his career-long argument for songs that chuck in every kitchen sink to hand The Irish Times
This record really is stellar stuff Hot Press
A solid record, albeit uninspired Far Out
Following the superb No Name, White continues his fan service with stripped back songs and nasty, anarchic riffs – though it all ends up feeling a little samey The Guardian
Delivers night-terror boogie and fleet-fingered car-crash jams with the technical proficiency and liturgical intensity of a rock’n’roll lifer Pitchfork
Offers up his most consistently bluesy offering since the early 2000s. Frozen Charlotte is a continuation of the streamlined rippers of 2024's No Name, although there's nothing here as straightforwardly catchy as "That's How I'm Feeling" Exclaim

"Intimate, thoughtful and gorgeously-rendered" (9/10 - Clash). "Most of the album proceeds unhurriedly, both immersive and atmospheric" (8/10 - Slant). "Candid album finds hard-won clarity" (8/10 - Uncut)
