Get Behind Me Satan

No stand outs but I feel I could listen to it again and again

A few good singles, but the rest isn't particularly interesting as an album

Some decent songs but overall pretty mediocre. 2.5.

I forgot how good this album is. This is definitely one of, or hell maybe it is their best album. Regardless this is White Stripes really hitting it out of the park. It's just not good enough for a 5 you feel me?

Kyllähän tuon kuunteli varsin kivutta läpi. Tuli erään espoolaisen bändin laulaja vähän mieleen tuosta soundista. 2,75*

Ei parasta antia, mut varma kolmonen

Excellent different Jack White.

Quite a change from their previous album, Elephant, which had the signature song - Seven Nation Army. Liked this one too though!

Smooth.

It's OK

Not as good as elephant and not as strong of an album overall. It starts out strong for the first few songs and then starts to dip and never really recovers. Their sound is good when it includes more upbeat drums. The slower songs don’t show their strengths as much. Good album but not fear. 6.6/10

Our last White Stripes album was White Blood Cells, which was about 650 albums ago. It seems I had to really work to appreciate that one, but certainly did in the end. This one came across as a favorite right away. Its varied styles held my interest all through, and I think it's brilliant.

I guess I forgot that I liked The White Stripes.

I just love the sound of this band and the variety of styles on this album. Lots of great songs.

Some of the artists with repeat albums on this list leave me wondering why we need all of them. The previous album from The White Stripes (White Blood Cells) and Get Behind Me Satan are pretty different, so I can see how they both coexist here. There’s a lot of piano, some always welcome Marimba, and less a 70s rock vibe than that previous album. Both albums, though, are quite great! Glad to have heard them both!

Favourites: • Blue Orchid

While I wouldn’t put this on for personal listening, I can see why it has charm, as well as having some hits on the album. Didn’t really do it for me.

Favourite tracks: blue orchid; my doorbell; denial twist; instinct blues

en tarvinnut tätä tänään en tarvinnut tätä tänään, eilen lähti moderaattoreille viestinvilutusta että huomiselle jotain kivaa, huomiselle jotain hyvää ottivat ilmeisesti semmoisena vittuiluna että lätkäytti tämmöstä EI USKALLETA ENÄÄN YY VEESEEN PISTÄÄ POSTIA... tämä parivaljakko huhuillut vilkuillut pitkin projektia pikku pirulaiset alkaa pikku. hiljaan. vituttaan. tämä. as ugly as i seem

I really enjoyed the variety of styles in this one album. Fun!

I enjoyed the eclectic collection of songs.

Love this. Really good stuff. Doorbell is an ear worm for sure.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Blue orchid, My doorbell

It was ok.

Was aight, not their best work by far but had some good moments

"Get Behind Me Satan" is the fifth studio album by American rock duo the White Stripes. This album was a change from their guitar-based previous album "Elephant" with more piano and acoustic-based melodies and rhythmic experimentation using instruments like marimbas: less guitar riffs and plays down punk, garage rock and blues to a certain extent. According to lead singer and guitarist Jack White, it has a theme of truth in the songs which is mostly told through relationships. The album was widely acclaimed and reached #3 in both the UK and US. Jack uses a falsetto throughout the opener "Blue Orchid." A fuzzed-up guitar driving the melody. The typical White Stirpes drum beat provided by Meg White. The song is about the devastation of something valuable and some think it's about Jack's break-up with Renee Zellweger. "My Doorbell" is piano soul with a prominent drum beat and actually one of my favorite drumming on any White Stripes' song. He's waiting for death. "Little Ghost" brings the bluegrass with a fast-paced acoustic guitar. Layered vocals. This is unique for them. "The Denial Twist" has hard piano notes. The classic Meg drum beat with a tambourine. I think he's giving advice to someone who's been dumped. "As Ugly as I Seem" also has an acoustic guitar and real nice melody. A slow song. Jack's best vocals on the album. A good deep cut. "Red Rain" alternates between a blues and rockin'-distorted guitar. It's goes soft-loud-soft (always a fan). No, not a Peter Gabriel song. All six White Stripes' albums are worth listening to and this is no different. These songs are slower than the typical White Stripes and I do like the variety of instruments carrying the melodies. I wish they could have flushed out some of the piano and acoustic guitar songs with a band but I guess that would be what Jack did with other bands and solo. There seems to be more there with the melodies he created.

I liked it more than I thought I might, especially the second half of the album

i'm a white stripes fan, but this album is comfortably their shittest album. started to believe his own hype didn't he. it's like he just forgot to bother actually writing any songs so just jabbed at his guitar and when he wasn't doing that he was fucking around on a marimba. nonsense album.

Not quite the heights of White Blood Cells or Elephant, but an okay effort that has a bit of shit filler. Shouldn't be on this list. Are they husband and wife or married though, the creepy incestuous weirdos.

Really good.

This duo is enormously talented, and Jack White is truly remarkable on many instruments, especially guitar. I always like the way they -- and then when he went solo, he -- seem to stay very true to themselves and enjoy creating music. I haven't listened to enough of their work, so I'm glad this album came up. I didn't expect this, but at times they reminded me a little bit of Prince (in a high compliment way). Very good album.

Great!

I was debating to give either 1 or 2, but it got worse as it went on. His voice sounds very congested with a bubble in his throat that he’s had for days. I am not a fan. Of the music either- got too radical in a bad way.

After the insultingly-terrible White Blood Cells I was actively not wanting any more of this band, but this is demonstrably better (which, when the bar is the floor is almost literally impossible to not meet that criteria) - it's rather apparent within a song or two that this is definitely more constructed, a little more full-sounding ... aside: wtf I have never understood the enjoyment of what is generously called stripped-down or raw music but in every single way is just a euphemism for "...ehh...more than half the band didn't show up for recording but we're gonna lay down the track anyways! can you play drums?" Ok anger abated (yes White Blood Cells angered me). There's more experimentation here as well, some harmonies, I like the liberal addition of piano, plus a few interesting (guitar) effects to broaden it a bit. I still don't like all of it - e.g. "Instinct Blues" is more indicative of the sloppy/gross earlier sound. I think by the time the 2nd half comes around I'm like "ok enough already" I suppose this also reenforces one goal of the exercise for me; I had absolutely (ill)formed an opinion about this band based on White Blood Cells and a few singles I loathed, and even if I'm not gonna put this record on I (finally?) get it here. Hell maybe they (like almost every act) simply needed to mature. Just didn't need to release anything before this that sounded like bad demos... Drummer is still an unprofessional shambles though that if anything actually detracts from the songs. Come on. 5/10 3 stars.

Quite an average album from The White Stripes. Their crazy garage rock image was replaced by quirky garage drum and vocal, which was pretty fun, but not for the whole record. You can just listen to "Doorbell" 12 times or so, and I would have the same effect as listening to Get Behind Me Satan. I think I might mix a song or two into my daily listening list, but probably I won't come back to this album anytime soon.

pretty good but i personally could use a few more jams

Enjoyed this, I really like and respect The White Stripes.

Not in my edition of the book! 2005. 3.5 stars. Perfectly acceptable stripped down millennium rock. Not their best work - see The White Stripes or Elephant for that - but still good. 4 stars if you like their sound, 3 stars if you don't.

He fell off

Glad to get this since it’s a White Stripes I haven’t heard before. Personally I would choose Icky Thump, Elephant, and White Blood Cells before this one. So maybe there’s multiple white stripes on the list? Which is egregious imo. Wish this project was more Blue Orchid than Little Ghost

birkaç şarkı dışında ortalama bir albüm arkadaki enstrümanlar çok etkileyici bir şekilde kullanılmamış ve bazen fazla “basic - simple” geliyor söz yazarlığı konusunda da çok çok iyi bir albüm değil ama yine de gayet ortalama bir albüm

The only White Stripes album I actively don't like, this has no place on the list.

Always a fun sound but definitely an unnecessary amount of album inclusions for them.

Another white Stripes album, another 3 stars. Solid rock music but not more

Jack white is cool

Eh

Not what I was expecting, a mix of stuff on here. Some nice tracks

Heard before Saved 8/13 Top track: Blue Orchid

3.6 - I like this record and I like Jack White but he's clearly overrepresented on this list. What I like best about this particular album is that he's muted the thrashier and yelpier parts of his voice, choosing to go warmer and more mellow. I like the use of acoustic piano and folky guitar. But he's too often playing the bluesman again, scatting and rapping his blend of down-home lingo. I do enjoy the poppier tracks here ("Doorbell", "The Denial Twist"), as well as some of the downtempo experiments ("Blue Orchid", "The Nurse"). But the rest I find just a little annoying, or forgettable probably because I'm burnt out on Jack White and wish he'd fuck off for a decade.

Honestly, not White Stripes best work. A lot of filler and songs with the same chord progressions.

Not really familiar with the White Stripes, but I liked this a lot. Good variety. Loved the drums and piano.

Best Song: Blue Orchid. Jack White's ability to occasionally construct an absolutely chunky riff rears its head once again. Worst Song: The Nurse. Why play one bad song at once when you could instead play three bad songs at the same time? Overall: A classic White Stripes album in that it's packed full of bite-sized bits of "okay". A couple iconic riffs, a few nifty little ditties, and a lot of forgettable thrashing in between.

Some good songs could be into if I knew them better, a little repetitive at times

I wouldn't say I've followed these guys super closely but I did know there was a point where Jack disappeared up his own arse and Meg fell off the radar. I guess this is that point. Talented guy but dial it back with the weird hillbilly folk nonsense, fella. 3/5.

Després de dues obres mestres seguides, havia de venir inevitablement la baixada de pistó. Curiós que estigui a la llista, ja que segurament es tracta d'un dels treballs més fluixos de la banda. Jack White en pilot automàtic, fabricant temes 100% de la casa. Però es clar, Jack White en pilot automàtic en aquell moment estava per sobre dels millors moments de la gran majoria de bandes contemporànies

Track 1 - Blue Orchid Thudding bass drum beat, thick sludgy guitar, crashing cymbals, jacks incredibly unique almost feminine voice contrasts the thickness of the guitar, vocals and guitar share melodies throughout the song, great opener 7.5/10 Track 2 - The Nurse Incredibly unexpected marimba intro, carefree and melodic opening, increasingly out of time guitar and drum clash with marimba rhythm, chaotic cacophony of thundering guitar and drum blasts, palm muted pulsing guitar riff, deep underlying drone of vocals in the instrumental interlude contrasts the light marimba rhythm, random bursts of piano, guitar and drums, really random song 6/10 Track 3 - My Doorbell Playful piano melody, rattley drums, crashing cymbals, megs signature drumming clear as ever, maracas add an extra dimension, jacks vocals sound distanced from time to time, like he’s in a corner, a lot different from the guitar dependency from elephant, gets a bit repetitive, still entertaining 6.5/10 Track 4 - Forever For Her (Is Forever For Me) Jacks signature winey vocals shine through, once again piano reliant, light acoustic guitar, return of the marimba, light maraca shakes, solid chorus, twiddling piano line for chorus that continues through fade out 7/10 Track 5 - Little Ghost Fast paced bouncy country guitar, unlike anything on the album so far, very country based with simple tambourine accompaniment, a little more twang in the vocals, banjo type chords, experimental 7/10 Track 6 - The Denial Twist Swaggering drums and thudding piano chords, changes time sig in chorus, fuzzy dull bass line, draws from classic rock and roll influence 8/10 Track 7 - White Moon Sad reflective piano, simple kick beat with maraca, smart rhyming in the lyrics from jack, picks up more before heading back into the normal verse, shows the vulnerable side of jacks voice, long drawn out resonant piano notes 6.8/10 Track 8 - Instinct Blues Very raw recording style, like early delta blues recordings, swaggering riff with pounding drums, jacks signature boosted vocals, some awesome guitar lines, crashing drums, changes in tone back to the start of the song, simple lyrics, heavily driven octave guitar, classic blues phrasing, passionate vocal and instrumental performance, rumble of feedback present throughout the whole song, big punching end 9/10 Track 9 - Passive Manipulation Short little interlude with Meg on vocals, nothing to see really Interlude/10 Track 10 - Take, Take, Take Acoustic and piano, simple drums with maracas, acoustic and piano shares same melodies off and on, sounds like two slightly different vocals coming through each ear, clever vocal panning to and fro from left and right speaker 7/10 Track 11 - As Ugly As I Seem Plodding acoustic guitar, simple beat on some percussion instrument, nice balance between lead lines and chords on the guitar, instrumental doesn’t have too many changes throughout the song, repetitive again 7/10 Track 12 - Red Rain Echoey slide guitar, interesting bell melody, thudding guitar and drum lines, very roots focused, swaggering drums, bluesy slide, warped vocals, song fades and comes back in strong, song goes full circle, ends with echoey slide and bells 9/10 Track 13 - I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet Powerful but melancholy big chords, bluesy piano solo, sounds a bit like a billy joel type song but more drunken saloon diddy, reflective lyrics, jacks vulnerable side to his voice on display, chords and vocals die out but comes back in for a final finish, great closing track 8/10 Final Thoughts: This album is like night and day to their previous album, the meteoric garage rock landmark, Elephant, This album is a lot more experimental than Elephant, using the marimba on tracks like The Nurse and Forever For Her and was strikingly different to the raucous riff-laden Elephant by the fact most of the songs were piano led. This album also sees a change in style for the band, turning to their roots influences in blues and country, whilst still regaining the rawness, dirtiness and simplicity of the production on their previous LP’s, as shown in the swaggering, swampy riffs of Red Rain and in the fast bouncy country rhythms of Little Ghost. The album was well received and received a Grammy for best alternative album in 2006. This album showcased the versatility of Jacks writing and musical talents, whilst also reaffirming megs simple but effective playing style and it’s key place in the creation of that signature white stripes sound. The album also showed that their is space for experimentation in even the most simplistic of musical styles, as well as pushing the boundaries of what could be done in the sonic toybox of garage rock and alternative music as a whole. Final Rating: 7.25/10 Best Song: Instinct Blues or Red Rain Worst Song: As Ugly As I Seem Most Underrated Song: The Denial Twist

I love the white stripes. Constraints yield creativity. Just not their best album.

Nearly perfect

Overdone, particularly in the loud-quiet-loud sense. Those tensions put one on edge while listening and so even the cool bits ("The Nurse," say, with the interesting marimba bits) become disconcerting to listen to. The virtue of simplicity is the power it can create, somewhat counterintuitively, but this lot way overplays its hand (see "My Doorbell" also with marimbas), leading to a too-close similarity across songs (see "Doorbell" to "Forever for Her"). One just doesn't see (or hear) this anywhere near as cool as Jack and Meg seem to want one to. This just isn't as surprising or strong as the earlier records.

Outstanding

un très bon album rock/blues, ils ont un son les white stripes et c'est tr`s bon. 4.75

Not my fave

This album had two really good songs (blue orchid and the denial twist) and the rest of the album was just okay.

Great songs (3)

I have to admit, I enjoyed the White Stripes previous albums to Get Behind Me Satan. I know some duo artists are suppose to expand their sparse sound by introducing additional instruments, but I prefer the guitar-heavy sound from the pair. No wonder White preferred in a larger band format after the Stripes, so you can't deny a guy for expanding his musical horizons.

Curti um bocado, pois não reconheci hits e deste modo não me pareceu datado. Impressionou-me especialmente as guitarras.

There's a reason the only hit from the album was the Denial Twist. It's not a bad album, but that's a transcendent song, and the rest is pedestrian. Still enough to elevate to another listen.

dude i had severely underestimated the white stripes - this is as good as elephant

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Great rock album. 5 stars.

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.
