    This Album is purely amazing, every song just goes so well together, I have never heard anything like it, and I believe thats why I love it so much.

    This album is incredible. Jack White is so musically talented and creative that he can create such a real effect to his music. The marimbas and piano were totally unexpected and amazing. There are some low points in the album however, and that's why I give it a measly 9. The only reasons I'm giving it a 9 is the fact that White Moon sucks. It's such a boring song. And what's up with this random piece Passive Manipulation? Meg White shouldn't be able to sing in the band. MHO. But some of the great pieces on the album (soon to be classics!) are Blue Orchid, My Doorbell, Take Take Take, I'm Lonely, and The Nurse. Those are all great tunes that any music fan would enjoy. Fantastic album with possibly the best rock duo on Earth. I cannot (Repeat CANNOT) wait for their next big thing! It's gonna be good, and every White Stripes fan will expect that after this. Expand

    Amazing. Each of thier albums outdoes the last. Some fans of previous records won't enjoy it, but it will gain them new ones. Jack White is a master songwriter, and has re-invented his sound for this album, highlighting some of the subtleties that may have been harder to recognize in the harder material.

    I'm a little late coming into the White Stripes butI have to say that I have not enjoyed anything new in a long time but for me this is refreshing. Jack and Meg are just so talented -I can't stop listening to it. I've even been turning my friends (or anyone that will listen) onto it. This Cd is just plaine FUN.

    This is a great album. There is such a broad spectrum of music on this album. From the heaver stuff like Red Rain to bluesier stuff to (Believe it or not) even a countryish song. A great album and i love it.

    First, to all the people who dislike raw Rock and Roll, I think you're missing a huge point here. Zeppelin I was recorded in 30 hours. Spontenaiety is the the secret to creativity; you must capture it at its height. The Stripes have always done this and to call doing the blues "copying a song" you have much to learn about the tradition and reality of modern music. So while the Strokes are in the studio for years layering guitars and working on their oh so fab image, Jack White has produced great songs in and out of the stripes. This is a modern classic and if you don't get it, smoke some weed like you did for Dark Side of the Moon-- or maybe you didnt get that either. Expand

  1. It's an album so strong and so unexpected that it may change the way people hear all its predecessors. And that's just a start. Listen long enough, and this album might change the way you hear lots of other bands, too.
  2. A very strange album, which shreds the old White Stripes rulebook (no bass, just guitar and drums) and pushes into territories way beyond the blues and rock of their previous four records.
  3. A sidestep that’s as easy to admire as it is hard to love.
