Hipster americana
. 3 1/2

A sturdy if trailed off attack of scuzzy melody thrives off the less-is-more approach, guided by White's superb ear for productive rawness, capable of elevating even his simplest of songwriting exercises into genuinely effective indie-blues-rock excursions.


*Clone? I don't think so!* Recovered Revieew From 2003.
The White Stripes are in a category all their own. Once I saw MAD magazine referring to The Strokes, The Vines, The White Stripes and The Hives as :The Attack of The Clones: I had to voice my own opinion where it can be heard. A true fan of rock music can appreciate this group. They may not be as talented as some acts on the scene, but then again most rock fans adore The Ramones. Listening to "White Blood Cells" is listening to a tribute to the lost sound of early '60's punk. From "Fell In Love With A Girl" (The Kinks) to "I Think I Smell A Rat" (The Who). The duo even shows its softer side with "We're Going To Be Friends" which sounds an awful lot like Paul McCartney's "Black Bird". Whether paying homage to the '60's or flat out originals like "Little Room" I would not be ashamed to call this album one of the best of 2002. As for the talk of clones, The White Stripes have already released two previous records while the other bands are just getting started. So with that I ask. . . who is copying whom?

Again, notice that this is a lost review of mine from a previous username. This review was written in March of 2003, look at how far The White Stripes have come since this breakthrough release? Hmm. . . I guess I know my bands after all! ;-).


A great album
I really like "Hotel Yorba" but all the songs on this CD are good. The White Stripes have got to be one of the best bands I've heard in a long time. Hotel Yorba is why I bought this CD, but I found all the songs were good, and I would recommend it highly. (For what thats worth, LOL).


Another Good Album CD by the White Stripes, This one contains some real "gems" in it also!!!!
It contains 16 songs. Overall, its a very good cd. I don't think its quite as good as "Elephant" or "Icky Thump", but it is very good. Some of the songs I really enjoyed include: "Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground", "Hotel Yorba", "I'm finding it Harder to be a Gentleman (everyday)", and "Fell in Love With a Girl". Thanks!!!!.


Before Elephant....
Some of their best stuff is on the CD and is kind of the appetizer for Elephant. there is White Blood Cells. Every song seems like a story you can understand and the music seems to go with the words. Some of the best tracks are Offend in Every Way, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground and I Think I Smell A Rat.
