Get Behind Me Satan

Meh. The only redeemable track was Blue Orchid.

Después de escucharlo me sorprende que esté en esta lista. No parece ofrecer nada interesante. Casi todo en este álbum me resulta irritante, desde las melodías hasta las voces.

05/01/2026 1. blue orchid - liking the intro.... not sure about the vocals..... the drumming is really nice. guitar as well. is there any bass at all though?? actually don't think so???? bit boring, but alright as background music, i guess? 2. the nurse - marimba??? nice with the piano though. bit twee. like the maraca i guess. begging for some bass to appear. what is happening right now. really not fond of that one, but appreciate that they were trying to experiment, even if it isn't for me at all. 3. my doorbell - immediately do not like this. this is what i was thinking of when i worried about listening to 2000s indie rock. not looking forward to ten more songs of this...... piano is nice. these lyrics are so annoying and his vocals are not for me. one of the worst songs i have probably ever listened to. 4. forever for her (is over for me) - guitar is nice. like the piano as well. still boring and don't like the vocals. why is the marimba back.... the lyrics are annoying still as well. 5. little ghost - his voice is so annoying oh my god. the female singer is nice though. like the country inspired sound though. far too twee. 6. the denial twist - drums seem so loud compared to any of the other instruments?? still don't like the lyrics or his vocals. chorus is nice. 7. white moon - piano is really lovely. shame he's singing over it.... like the lyrics more, but faaarr too rhymey. this did not need to be this long... 8. instinct blues - guitar is reaaaalllllly nice.... still not entirely found of his voice, his vocals work better with the louder, distorted, rockier sound. lyrics are still annnoying. loving the screeches of the guitar. drums are nice as welll. still cannot hear any bass though!!! enjoyed it the most out of any song so far but probably wouldn't listen to again. 9. passive manipulation - different vocals. still not fond of them, but like them more. so glad this is so short. 10. take, take, take - he sounds like he's trying to sound like a warbly version of mick jagger in you can't always get what you want. rita hayworth mention <3 lyrics are stilll annoying though. 11. as ugly as i seem - liking the folksier acoustic guitar. liking this one. his vocals are still grating but i could maybe warm up to them if the rest of the album was like this. 12. red rain - liking the guitar at the start... liking this one more. the guitar and the drums are really great :) vocals are both annoying and alright at the same time. getting a bit repetitive and grating now. bell seems a bit too quirky. 13. i'm lonely (but i ain't that lonely yet) - very glad this album is ending. more gospel sounding. piano is nice. lyrics are better, but that's not saying much... how is there still a minute left. his voice is so bad it's making me want to kill myself. reaffirmed my dislike for indie rock after listening to that one kings of leon album. did not like any of the songs, it felt like they were trying too hard to be quirky and ended up contrived and annoying. this is the sort of music they torture people with at cia black sites.

Meh

nah

Oh wow, I did not expect this to be as awful as it was. It’s always good to step out of one’s comfort zone as a musician, but hearing Jack White mess around on a marimba for half an hour was annoying.

Ärsyttävä laulu, ärsyttävät saundit. Kaikki ärsytti. Statsien mukaan joku spede tätäkin kuunnellu miljoonia kertoja.

Hated this album.

Borinnnggg

This album started strong and then it just went downhill for me from there.

boring

The one nice thing I can say about Jack White is that he’s a good guitar player. Unfortunately on this album he chose to play the marimba instead. Blue Orchid was a decent track, otherwise there’s nothing here for me.

Too much weird sounds for me

A few okay songs. But as an album, I can’t think of what setting you would play this. It’s not good for a party. It’s not good for the car. It just doesn’t have a home.

My high school kids’ band is better than this

How is this album on here?!?

Bluesssssssssssssss.

Bad

Inte alls min grej

Wow, this first song is... the worst. 2006 musta been a dry year for the alternative category if this garbage won a Grammy. I feel like this is a joke that I'm not in on. It's just terrible. A 1, for sure.

started off being a bit annoyed and irritated by the guys voice, I’m 5 tracks in now and a little bored. not really liking it i feel. I think I like red rain a little bit but not a lot i’m still annoyed. 1.5 stars

umm.. i try to be open minded and accepting of white people music... i really do... but i can't with this one LMAO

Not my style

Ikke vild med dem.

An absolute joke of an album.

Ill be the first to admit that I don't really get this music. Jack White's voice annoys me and besides some songs that are good (none of which are on this album), I don't understand the wild fandom for this kind of music. 2/10

I got White Blood Cells yesterday, so my review is the same: not a big fan of Jack White

This record is all over the place? Slightly too repetitive for me. The voice of Jack is grating, too often. As Ugly As I Seem is the least worst track here? Not sure why this is in this list. There's no cohesion, no memorable tracks. Odd choice this.

Adds nothing new to guitar based rock

there isn’t space left in the world for the white stripes

I am getting too old for this shit.

The Nurse made me feel like I was stuck in purgatory. Also dropped my croissant listening to this. Windows down, my half eaten croissant flew out the window when I set it down for a second.

Not a fan, not my cup of tea.

This is some of the worst music I’ve ever heard. Yuck. Couldn’t finish it.

Trash

First off, not a fan of the Black Stripes. I find their songs to be a disjointed, tuneless, and incredibly irritating. To be included in 1001 need to hear albums makes me question the musical wisdoms of its creator. The piano and piano solos are heavy handed and simplistic. One way for me to appraise the worthiness of a song is if my toe taps. If there’s music playing, I’m tapping my toes. For this album? Not so much. My feet sat flat footed. Really, just horrid.

0% banger

So very mediocre

torture

Rétrospectivement, que s'est-il passe en 2005, pour qu'un tel engouement naisse ? Sur la forme Ok, y'a un truc, mais sur le fond musical...les Black Keys ont fait mieux depuis... Globalement surfait.

Tuneless crap

Nope, the White Stripes are not for me. Did not enjoy this album and forced myself to listen all the way.

Nope

Was not into this album at all. Could barely get through it. Or just didn't interest me at all.

Very weird

Horrible Album. Atrocious and made me stop listening to music for months simply because of the awful taste it put in my mouth.

I like The White Stripes, I've never been huge on their music but I've had albums of theirs I really appreciate (De Stijl is excellent), this isn't one of them. I think since the first time I heard Blue Orchid (the song that made me discover TWS, mind you) was that it was... cool but never stuck with me, especially as I discovered their other big songs and realized that this was a cool band that was enjoyable, bur every time I tried to return to Blue Orchid it was just nothing. Then I tried going through their albums and when I got to Get Behind Me Satan it just felt different in a way I simply didn't enjoy, not even because they changed it to be more bluesy instead of garage-y (especially because I'd argue I like Jack White's solo material to his WS stuff and that is further into the blues/Americana thing he loves to play), but instead because it feels like they wanna do something bluesier and weirder and it ends up not working at all, jack wants to deploy all his usual writing and singing quirks and they just sound worse than they should; the repetition on My Doorbell or the entire sound to I'm Lonely just feels like things that they are usually good at being made into something extremely unenjoyable. I don't know, it feels like one of those that every time I've given it a chance it never clicks and maybe it's also that I'm not feeling great today, but I doubt I will find much enjoyment in this one whenever I inevitably go back to TWS' discography, and perhaps I will have more concrete criticisms of the other songs, but as it stands, this one ain't it Jack and Meg

Ugh! Did not like any of it

No

Way back in the beginning of this list I got a White Stripes album and generously assumed it was a matter of personal taste that I didn’t appreciate. But now a couple of 100 albums in and there are many legendary albums and artists I’ve yet to see and along comes a 2nd White Stripes album and I can’t help but feeling punked. This is crap. They don’t write songs they write sentences and repeat them for 3 minutes. Complete bollocks.

- little ghost made me suicidal - Dear lord I can’t stand this guy’s voice - I just want this to be over - This literally can’t get any worse - The last song was quite nice actually

Incredibly boring. Nothing good to say about it.

2/4 albums have had Jack whites terrible voice.

Fav: White Moon Least Fav: As Ugly As I Seem

Favorite: Blue Orchid?? Least Favorite: All of Them

Boooooooooo

3.25 rym la gente che canta in falsetto mi urta..... no odio questa roba

Har ingen aning om varför detta är ett album man måste göra innan man dör? Hade inget att komma med tycker ja Bästa låt: Nurse

I don’t listen to the White Stripes.

Really bad. Some white stripes is ok, but this album didn’t have a single song on it that I liked. Really not sure why it’s on this list

bah white stripes

This was some boring ass thing

Unfortunately, this album just doesn't do it for me. Majority of these tracks feel unfinished and super empty. Regardless of Jack's vocal style, it's a little too whiny for me in this record. Not much drumming going on too :o Favourite tracks: Blue Orchid

It just felt a little whiny, and the whole thing didn't feel consistent. some cute tracks, but nothing I'd ever seek out again, or probably remember.

I’ve never cared for the White Stripes aside from a few songs. Listening to this album changed nothing

I'm not listening as i know i dont like the WS Not in the spirit of this think I know but I dont have the time for R O C K

this is unarguably the worst white stripes album why have the authors of this book done this to us? it's fine. it's got a couple singles that were fine to hear in a 00s alt rock shuffled playlist, but they are scattered throughout a desert of jack white being unproductively weird. a horrendous full-album listening experience.

Interesting sound…some songs decent, some not so much. Not a fan of the vocals.

Ik was een beetje vergeten dat dit duo bestond. Ik heb Jack White live zien spelen, hij was de gitarist bij een show van Paul McCartney, zo’n 15 jaar geleden gok ik. Ik mocht voor de railing staan, ongeveer naast het vuurwerkkanon (dat bij live and let die min of meer ontplofte). Een 9-jarig jochie als ik stond door alles aardig versteld, ook door de riffs en solo’s van Jack White. Een gitaarheld was en is het zeker. Dit album is door broer en zus samengesteld en gespeeld. Dat is toch wel benoemenswaardig, een duo dat zo’n geluid kan maken zie je niet heel veel. Ik denk meteen aan the Black Keys en Death From Above 1979. Maar nu komt de mindfuck: het schijnt dus de twee gewoon een stel geweest zijn. Mijn leven is een leugen geweest. Het album zit vol bluesrock, met hier en daar wat country en folk invloeden. Ik word er niet heel heet van. Al is het slidegitaartje bij Red Rain wel lekker. De jammerstem van Jack gaat na 6 nummers tochh een beetje irriteren. Highlights: Take, Take, Take, Red Rain. Rating: 6

Horrible. Creepy.

Have you ever worked with someone talented who was then promoted and turned out to be a disaster at managing things? That is how I feel about Jack White. Probably a talented musician but should be under a grown up’s direction. This album feels like a bunch of half formed ideas from a jam session rather than thoughtful finished songs. I started listening in a relatively good mood and by the time it ended I was fairly annoyed.

It's not that its bad, just that it's nothing. They had the crazy idea to make stripped back blues based rock music with some fuzzy distorted guitars and emphasis on big riffs, for some reason this is very exciting to a large number of people and they're treated as important artists. They'd be a fun local band to see live doing throw-back rock, but 7 Nation Army catching on as a stadium rock anthem elevated them way out of their league. I guess being one of the last big bands standing holding a guitar and being very deferential towards rock tradition has meant they're carrying the torch for rock dudes. But they're scrapping the bottom of that barrel and coming up with pretty minimal ideas.

Don't see the allure

Stopped listening half way through 4th track. Every song is completely ruined by cymbal crashing, it's just awful. My ears hurt.

I wonder why this album is even on this list. I just cannot bring myself to enjoy this at all and my ears had a visceral reaction while listening. The vocalist is not in tune in some points(which can work but not how he does it) and his tone just makes my ears uncomfortable. The tunes stick in your head but you get a headache as a result. I hate speaking negatively on any type of music but this album truly dissapointed me and was very hard to even try listen to without wanting to rip out my ears.

Thought it was mid tbh , nothing rememberable at all , I can’t even say they’re like extremely bad but it’s all just the same amount of rock shite tossed together. Id give it a 2 or 3/10

Opening song was okay, rest was dogsh*t

I can't get into this band's music

Not for me.

Etwa gewollt für mich

Nah

White solo kan ik goed hebben, maar dit is grandioos geneuzel met een incapabele drummer. Blegh.

This is one of those albums I bought because of one song and instantly regretted because even the album version of that song was re-edited as pretentious self-indulgent tripe.

Heard before: some How many more White Stripes records do we have to listen to? Why do they annoy me so much? Even their best tracks seem like 1 minute of ideas in a 3 minute song. I get bored halfway through each track. Unsurprisingly, I'm basic; just give me the short, hooky songs, and do your shtick in the corner please. Top tracks: My Doorbell, Blue Orchid, Little Ghost

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

1/5. I don’t even like a single song on this album. The hits are boring and everything else seems so filler. Hard to even put on again, feels like I’m wasting my time.
