Good...
I like Hotel Yorba and Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. I didn't like it as much as Elephant, but it's a really good CD anyway.


Breakthrough "Classic" Rock
). The White Stripes came from out of nowhere (although White Blood Cells was already their third album) to rise to the top of the Invasion of the Plural Nouns (The Hives, The Strokes, The Vines, etc. Maybe it was their added adjective, or their simple color scheme, or their seemingly incestuous brother-sister/husband-wife relationship. After all, marketing has played a very important role in their success.

But none of that would matter if not for the music. White Blood Cells is simply a fine album of simple rock and roll. Jack White's guitar and vocals and Meg White's drums lay down a basic attractive foundation on which to massage rock cliches while remaining true to themselves. The White Stripes are one of the most "influenced" bands I've heard recently, and yet that does not detract from the enjoyment of the music.

I originally became interested as a fan of the film Citizen Kane. I heard that Jack had taken lines from the film and turned it into the song "The Union Forever. " I had to hear it. In the process, I ended up listening to the whole CD over and over again. Its short length makes for such an easily repetitive experience.

I look forward to more great things from the duo that calls themselves the White Stripes, whatever their relationship with one another. As long as they keep making music this good, I'll live with whatever marketing scheme they think of next.


Don't Pass This Up.
Don't miss it. From the opening notes to the end I was enthralled by how GOOD this CD is. Buy It or Borrow It. Just enjoy it.

The Bonus DVD is excellent. the 4 vids are good and the 2 audio tracks are Great.


Fake- Get the real deal
I recommend getting the real mcCoy. This CD was OK but an obvious rip off of the flat duo jets. If you like this then Go buy Dexter Romweber`s latest CD, "Chased By Martians". He was the guitarist/singer from The Flat Duo Jets.


White Stripes Rock!
although not quite as good as De Stijl. This is a great album. If you've only heard fell in love with a girl and dead leaves and the dirty ground you may be a little diisapointed at first, but keep listening because youll fall in love. Highlights include: now mary, im finding it harder to be a gentleman, offend in every way and i cant wait, to name a few. I could actually go on naming every song on the album because ther're great.
