Aug 29, 2023I know I'm a bit late for this one. But that's what timeless records do for you, right?

Sep 22, 2021These guys had a pretty amazing and unique sound, but the songwriting isn't great, pretty middle of the road.

May 17, 2021All I can say is that I want a seven nation army blasting this album at my funeral.

Jan 3, 2020A obra prima de The Wihte Stripes
Elephant é coeso, ousado, experimental e ainda assim traz tudo o que já tinha dado certo antes em um álbum realmente delicioso e acessÃvel.
O melhor álbum deles sem duvidas -

Oct 14, 2014It's ok. It's not great because it has no theme or underlying message, the instrumentals are a little sloppy and get boring occasionally, and I don't care for Jack White's lyrics. Seriously, Ball and Biscuit is a pretty good song, but did it have to be seven minutes long? Maybe I've missed the boat on the White Stripes, but I just can't get into them.

Jun 13, 2012Jack White can do no wrong. THAT'S A FACT. You can understand that from this album. Each and every album of his is absolute PERFECT. And he keeps doing good music.

Apr 21, 2012One of the best rock sounds in rock history, the White Stripes cemented their place in rock with this album. Seven Nation Army is a classic with a simple riff but Jack White shows off his immense guitar skill in songs like Ball and Biscuit and his amazing vocals in Girl, You Have No Medicine and There's No Home For You Girl. Easily one of the best rock albums I've heard.

Oct 27, 2011Elephant by the now-much-missed The White Stripes is a game-changing album that brought millions of youngsters into blues, accelerated the bandâ

Oct 19, 2011This album is ridiculous. I'm surprised it didn't start a music revolution like that of Is This It. Jack White is an absolute genius. Unfair album overall. All tracks are PERFECT

Sep 22, 2011Great album. Nothing groundbreaking, but just a great rock album. This is one of those records you can listen to all the way through repeatedly. It's the 'Nevermind' for a new generation of music. You listen to it and it makes you want to start your own garage band.

Sep 17, 2011Extremely underrated band from the 00's! Why could anyone hate this band? The music is a mix of blues, rock, and alt. rock. There are still people today, who have not yet heard of this band. The White Stripes are missed greatly! Rock on!

Oct 19, 2010Easily one of the best albums of all time. This album is absolutely exceptional. it's like finding an island amongst a sea of **** 21'st century music. would recommend to anyone with a decent taste in music.

Oct 13, 2010Wow. With another album The White Stripes again fail to disappoint. This isn't another one of your plain albums you find suffocating each other on store shelves; this one shows different music that you will no doubt enjoy.

PatrikD.Apr 18, 2008Sucks, three chords worn out so called rock N roll !

WillSJan 8, 2008Very good album, but did anyone notice that "There's No Home For You Here" sounds almost exactly like "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground"?

MichaelANov 13, 2006Best album of the 2000s, Raw, Raunchy, Sexy, Innocent, and extremely cool.

ZachS.Sep 21, 2006This album is a fresh, clean break from the hollow, lyrical rubbish that is so abundant in today's music. The rhetorical masterpieces painted in each song with no more than a few chords for support are nothing short of brilliant. Listen through this CD and see if you don't have it playing in your head for the next week.

LukeT.Sep 11, 2006The white stripes are very original and 'elephant' is what really made them famous. Each track is different in its own way. From the soft tone of 'you've got her in your pocket' to the screeching ar guitar in 'Black Math' this album suits whatever mood you are in.

BlenderThey break their own rules, even adding expansive guitar solos, to keep themselves interested and fans off-balance. [May 2003, p.123]

Therein lies the contradiction of The White Stripes. How do you combine the shit-hot with the "twee?" Elephant's shortcomings suggests the enterprise is futile.

It is a glorious thing to hear. It will be one of the best things you hear all year.
