gregsJun 2, 200499.99% pure genius- drums ,vocal,storeytelling a distillation. Shows the heart of rocknrolls still beating.. to use a cliche. Perhaps the people who gave it a zero are into rap or some other genre and are closed minded as their talent at least is undeniable and in your face.

CoryBApr 2, 2003Words cannot describe this album, but we still try. The guitar solos could make any talented guitarist weep, the lyrics could do the same to anyone. One of he best albums i've bought in the last 4 years, and i've bought more most anyone out there.

NseEJun 30, 2003A fab cd with diverse sounds; Dancey (7 nation army), Bluesy (Ball & biscuit), 70s punk rock (Hypnotize), and the tender, lovely, 'In the cold, cold night'. Love it.

JustinHMar 23, 2003I love everything about this CD except that opening to "Little Acorns." I love the White Stripes. They are by far the coolest thing in music now!

thesillymofoApr 1, 2003oh man. i nearly died on the first listen.

JasonF.Apr 1, 2003Something different. This album really expanded on their "style" of music. Not at all what I thought it would be. It really ecompases the different types they use; its got some good blues yet still has the punk/garage rock. It seemed so so at first but really grew on me. I give it a 10 just because Seven Nation Army is the greatest song ever!!!

JackWhiteApr 28, 2003Impressive. The proof that you don't need thousands of dollars nor some virtuous guitar and drum player to craft a masterpiece.

BartSimpsonApr 3, 2003If Nirvana never existed, this would be the greatest album ever.

NicholasBApr 8, 2003This record is amazing-it's garage rock but is also a new standard of art rock.

LukeJMay 1, 2003Quite possibly the best rock since Nirvana. It just feels so good.

ScottCJun 12, 2004This was definitely one of the decades best albums. In my opinion it was an instant classic and showcases the talent of the White Stripes and gives the public a look at their wide range of ability.

StuJul 17, 2004Elephant, along with all the other White Stripes albums and wonderful, ingenious, new, and very different from all those other, 10 cents a dozen rock groups that are out now.

JakeC.Sep 9, 2004What can I say...their 2nd best album (right behind Blood Cells), but still a masterpiece. It introduced me to the bluesy part of TWS. The best band ever? Yes...indeed yes!

KatiBFeb 8, 2006This is an excellent album. It's different than the Stripe's previous three albums and yet still very Jack White (which is a good thing). You need to own it now. Also, listen to it a few times before saying no. It takes more than one listen to really "feel" it.

marshApr 10, 2006I'm still blown away that someone could actually give this cd a 3. it's sad.

NickMJun 8, 2006one of the most unique sounds out there. its a refreshing sound compared to the standard unsophisticated boring sound that most rock groups today have.

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.
