The two albums are...
Cage the Elephant: "Tell Me I'm Pretty"
Jack White: "Lazaretto"
I started to explore Cage the Elephant because I was not familiar with them. "Tell Me I'm Pretty" is their fourth album. I first encountered a YT review that was somewhat unfavorable.
Quote: Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys hopped on the production and things take a giant leap backwards... It's like they had all these influences from the sixties and seventies that they wanted to use, and then just kept jamming them down our throat." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-U1o6gGA_I
The Consequence of Sound" review says,
Quote:The band’s musicality shines far greater than ever, even when blended together into a psychedelic soup... One has to wonder where (Auerbach's) influence ends and the band’s autonomy begins. Sometimes, the producer’s fresh ears bring out the best of the band; elsewhere, though, it sounds like they’re chasing a trend together. Do we take it as a band trying to evolve via a tried-and-true sound or as a band desperate for a current sound that they could develop through copious copycatting?

So apparently the sixties sound is somewhat trendy at the moment.
