Peppermint pride
. Proving White as much the distorted pop guitar visionary as Cobain with a case of Blues, Elephant's focused fuzz, emanating endlessly from his twangy, intuitive touch, marks a rehashed retro revival rock scene with class.


white stripes keep it going
They have a great writing ability but the performance is, sometimes lacking. Like most white stripes albums, Elephant has great songs and weak songs. Overall, though, I'm a big fan.


The White Stripes "Elephant" = Great Music from Jack & Meg White + a guest vocalist Holly Golighty!!!!!!!
This cd contains 14 great songs. There have alread been plenty of reviews on this one, so I'll just mention a few things. Some highlights include: "Seven Nation Army", "Ball & Biscuit", "The Hardest Button to Button", "Little Acorns", "Girl You Have No Faith in Medicine", and "Well it's True That we Love one Another" (with guest vocalist - Holly Golighty.

Jack is a great guitar player, and Meg really pounds those drums!!! This is a great CD, and I recommend it. Thanks!!!!

Definitely their best since the Debut album and De Stijl
Jack really shows his musical range, how far he's willing to go how far he's willing to push that res-o-glass Airliner of his. Elephant is a pretty much perfect rock album. This album is worth buying for "Ball And Biscuit" by itself, that song is seven minutes of pure blues/rock fury and it will never get old, its insane how much loud and how dynamic the guitar work is here. Jack really put his thing down this time. I love "Little Acorns" its like 80's vocals meets modern heavy metal, but comes off really smooth. I gotta say I think this is my favorite Stripes album. "Hypnotise" is a perfect dance rock song and definitely one of my top favorite songs ever. You people have to stop complaining about Megs drumming, Jacks singing etc. , gotta remember The Stripes are stripped down raw rock and blues roll. The music is simple, good time having fun. They're not trying to be shiny and poppy like most other bands. This is garage rock that is evolving into really good original music. Meg is actually an excellent drummer she fits into Jacks style and really completes the sound. It would'nt be the same with another drummer, unless it's the one from the Racounteurs. Jack's voice, its not the best, but thats the best part cuz neither was Kurt Cobains and his voice was the best for rock and roll. Jack has that kind of cool laid back, into high pitched wail, to full out scream thing. And his guitar work will defintely overcompensate for what vocal skills he lacks. AND THIS GUY PLAYS PIANO WELL TOO! Just watch "Under Blackpool Lights". You really cant rate an album because sometimes your ears just are not ready for what you're hearing. If you're a serious live for music person like me you'll understand what I mean. I hated this album when I heard it. Even ball and biscuit, (probably my favorite song ever. . ) I thought it was boring. Then one day I decided to download this album again and I was blown away. People dont like what they dont know usually, that's why there is racism in the world, and that's why music today is so stagnant, it all sound the same and lame. You have to try different things and that's exactly what The Stripes are doing. This album and their others go from 0-60 in minutes, one song may be really heavy, metal sounding, the next is "Hotel Yorba". They're psychotic schizophrenic crazy musicians that are single handedly saving Rock and roll for everybody. GIVE THE STRIPES A CHANCE. ALL HATERS GO HOME AND LISTEN TO COLDPLAY OR RADIOHEAD OR THAT OTHER BORING CRAP OUT HERE. THE STRIPES PUT EXCITEMENT BACK INTO MUSIC.


Meg White shines as usual!
She really knows how to jam out on drums! Move over "Keith Moon", you've got some competition! Unfortunately, Jack White has no talent and makes this album crap, but Meg saves it. I give this album four stars just for Meg's impressive drumming alone. Bravo, Meg!.
