I don't really like it at all. It's too weird.
But then again, that was after one listen. I'll give it another go soon. I'm playing through all the TMR goodies I got today (Vault package and DBTD).

On first listening i wasn't blown away, after a few more it has started to grow on me. It is interesting to note that this is all Jack if you look at the credits on the back, makes me think i may never hear it live. Also, if this is any indication of how the Jay-Z track might sound I predict HOTNESS.

I wonder if Jack used his little ones in this track, if you turn it up, it doesnt sound like a voice "tweeker" it sounds like children talking and laughing.

I both like and dislike this track - much like the film Pandorum
- definite hook I find myself thinking about from time to time.

There was an interview not long after SoC came out in which Jack mentioned that Old Mary began as a mic check. He apparently began spouting the words off the top of his head while checking levels, Alison freaked out in the control booth, he said "Hmmmm, let's play that back", and a weird and wonderful song was born.


I think that sometimes things aren't as deep as we think they are. Though, of course, other times they're even deeper.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."
