I've listened to Elephant, White Blood Cells, Get Behind Me Satan, and Icky Thump. I pretty much couldn't stand Icky Thump. Get Behind Me Satan was good, but not good enough for me to waste my money buying, especially since I already had my favourite songs from the album on my PC; same for White Blood Cells. This was a couple years ago I listened to these albums, so I can't completely recall what I didn't like, but I just remember feeling a lot homogeneity throughout both albums. And, for me at least, Jack didn't feel like he was really too into it.
As for Elephant, it's one of my favourite albums. Despite the primitiveness of their tools when creating this masterwerk, there's so much to this album. The immediate captivation of Seven Nation Army serves only as the precursor to the continued greatness that will follow. Great "heavy" tracks pepper the album, like Little Acorns' metal-like riff, Girl You Have No Faith in Medicine's expert display of Jack using his guitar to play many different roles to create a varied sound in this two-piece band, and The Air Near My Fingers. Also, some very great soft tracks, like the deeply affecting I Want to be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart, or deceivingly slow starter Ball and Biscuit: which serves as a minor testament to Jack White's straight technical guitar skill. Overall, just a really superb album through and through. Note: WBC was the first White Stripes' album I listened to. Not Elephant. Last edited by TotalHenshin; 10-16-2009 at 10:47 AM. Reason: Oops |

I've never understood the attachment to this band...it's basically bad 60's garage band crap. People lose their minds over this group, but frankly Jack White needs to take his sister/wife/whatever back to middle America and vanish.

I saw The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights the other day. One of the better music documentaries I've seen. Combines concert footage from a tour they did of Canada in 2007 with interviews. Very interesting.
