very good album
Didn’t hate it.
288. Ok
Besides a few of the singles which are great the white Stripes don't really do much to engage me. Doubt it'll get another full play through.
In a way this feels completely different from their original sound, while also being.. samey? Like it’s clearly white stripes but without the heart and passion of the earlier projects. Don’t get me wrong this is still a very listenable album, and at parts I think it’s underrated. However, I think it’s clear this doesn’t have the same magic from the early stripes days. This album continues Jack White’s evolution into straight up blues rock that we see later in his solo career. Crazy I’m going with a 3 here, but it’s definitely not a 2.
Man I just don’t really care for the White Stripes it’s the type of rock that feels so stuck in its time. Nothing sticks out as far enough for me. The doorbell is one I had heard before but even then it doesn’t help me enjoy it anymore even if the lyrics are the main selling point. Music is the whole experience. The stripes are flyover country and 3 albums is far too many when so many artists were skipped out on. It’s not the white stripes fault but I find myself not interested in the legacy or even moved by the art
Still love the white stripes. This their most album oriented album of theirs if that makes any sense. The others feel like collections of recent songs, this one seems more like a whole.
Folksy album! Very experimental with their own sound. Bit hit and miss!
meh rau
whatever
a good time - not an all day listen without a more even sound (bass)
I should have listened to this more when I was younger, especially in my Modest Mouse phase. It reads like a more emotionally mature version of Modest Mouse, which is funny because I always thought it was goofy unserious child's play when I was younger. Which now Modeest Mouse feel way less mature than this.
Interesting
I don't know man. I think even Satan would be like "I'm good, bro."
For all the accolades and praise Jack White has gotten, this band has had a continuing issue of sounding thin. They just can't fill the space with their sound, not even an octavio (which takes what you play, doubles or halves the frequency, gives a lot of fuzz and overlays it) can make up for it.
I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet)
Eclectic mix in there
While not my favorite album from The White Stripes, it is a banger still. Also, recency bias, because I saw Jack White over the summer and it was one of the best concerts I've seen in a long time.
A few great songs but mostly not all that interesting imo. Not the best of the Stripes.
A very mixed bag from the Stripes and definitely the weakest album. Blue Orchid, Little Ghost, Denial Twist Red Rain and I Ain't That Lonely are favourites of mine. However, marimba madness like The Nurse are awful.
Start to finish
I don't hate it, but that's not a resounding approval. Reading up on this, they shifted from what was familiar to them, but still maintained their essence, and I think that shows.
Lackluster "garage" band tries to get artsy... and I thought they were pretentious before this! Should have stayed in their lane. This is truly awful. The overuse of marimba should be a criminal offense.
I just kind of like it. Enjoyable from start to end, I particularly like the occasional dip into country music.
sinto falta da sujeira dos discos mais antigos deles.
Get Behind Me Satan is the sound of a band deliberately sabotaging its own formula. And I respect the hell out of that. The piano replaces the guitar. The marimba replaces some of the aggression. The songwriting becomes more exposed. And Jack White proves he can write compelling songs without relying on distortion to make them interesting. But here’s the important distinction: It’s more adventurous than Elephant. It’s not better than Elephant. The record has too many good-but-not-great songs to reach the 9+ territory, and several experiments feel more admirable than essential.
Uma das melhores bandas de sua época.
Changing things up with using the piano and a few other instruments as well, while still keeping a few blues rockers in the mix. An enjoyable album.
I've been giving some pretty bland albums 2s and 3s recently so this needs to be a 4 at least. Or a five? I love the White Stripes!!! However I don't find this their best. It still has their signature sound but the songs and musicality are just not as good as the first few albums.
Before this never listened to a white stripes album only know there hits. Pretty repetitive but a solid album
He is pretentious and weird but I like it!
They have a very distinctive sound, and this was a solid piece of art from start to finish. Always enjoy the White Stripes.
Creative and innovative. White pushes the boundaries, while performing like an old rocker.
Is there anything good here? Maybe "My Doorbell" is passable but its lyrics suck. Just a pass. 2/5.
-ehrlech 2-3 gueti rock songs
I love the white stripes! This one didn't pull me in as much when it first came out, but as I listen back it truly is amazing! They moved so far away from their guitar sound yet still managed to make so much with their constricted instrument choices
Not sure I was expecting to enjoy this one but I really did. Some songs I forgot about that are really good, some I hadn’t heard that I have since saved. Also some songs that were really weird. I’d want to give this a solid 3.5 but the weird songs are forcing me to round down
Nothing that caught me by surprise. It did seem like the white stripes played with sound design and production a lot more than I had expected. As a result, there are some good ear candy throughout the album. Overall songs though weren't super memorable.
Theatre kids. Interesting and intriguing but won’t listen again. Why is this on the list? I’m tired.
Unsatisfying hipster drivel
It's fine. Some good songs some forgettable. They definitely have a sound to be fair.
Would you expect anything other than 5 stars?
A lot better than I remember. This was always my least favorite White Stripes album. But with some time and the whole of Jack White's career I think I can appreciate it a lot more.
Ok. Overrated
except for the first song, not at all what I was expecting. More americana type, not something I really liked
A couple of bangers – My Doorbell, and Blue Orchid, but the rest of the album is just pretty weird. Jack's voice is fairly irritating on many of the other tracks, and there are various odd childlike motifs. Not a fan other than those two tracks.
Yeah not bad
3.75/5
I never really liked Seven Nation Army so didn’t explore their work. To say that Jack White’s Blunderbuss album was a pleasant surprise is an understatement and this album has made me realise not listening to them was a big mistake. I really rate the disjointed drum beats, Avant garde instrumentation and mix of genres.
I don't mind them at all but it seems like their somewhat limited shtick was getting tired by this point.
I've heard worse rock in this list.
Solid album and ir was good to hear attempts at different styles, though not all succeeded. Different instrumentation was fun.
baff. baff. rugrats. baff. doorbell. ting. baff. baff. baff. cymbalcymbalcymbal less baff. stopped playing attention. fine. BAFF. liked the last song
Have become a massive fan of Jack White’s solo output and the Raconteurs, but I’ve historically found The White Stripes to be a bit of a slog….I therefore skipped this one back in the day. So first listen….apart from the My Doorbell single. This is decent. Still quite sparsely populated like you’d expect from the White Stipes, but there’s enough of the stuff I do like, to make this an intriguing listen. The way the simple drum patterns crash into Jack White’s complex ideas just works somehow. 3
Maybe I’ve just heard the white stripes and Jack White too much. Im sure this was ground breaking in 2005. But… I think Elephant was a better album
Over 20 albums in and this is my first one star. Is this really the same band who made Seven Nation Army, one of the coolest and most recognizable rock songs probably ever? Going through this album, I can say that I wasn't bored throughout because I was actually wondering if it was going to get worse. Most of the entire first half is filled with terrible hooks and boring lyrics with the main vocalist with a voice that I personally found really irritating. Musically, this also feels really lackluster and almost feels checked out. The second half is more bearable, but no song sticks out to me at all and I will never revisit this again.
This is gonna be a biased review because I fucking love The White Stripes and Jack White. But this album is really fucking good. It goes in a completely new direction when compared to their previous album Elephant (which also fucking rocks). It delves more into the blues and rock that inspires the band as a whole. Jack has a way of writing incredible riffs that I am so jealous of. Meg, as always, fits in the sound completely with her drumming to make the band a complete two person powerhouse. The experimentation with different instruments and production styles is incredible on this album as well. Overall a great album.
I really liked this one. Never listened to very much White Stripes. The songs were all over the place in a good way, from blues rock to bluegrass. 8/10
It's got some good jams Will I listen to again: 75%
Their sound is generally appealing hence their success and this is apparent on a number of the tracks here (Doorbell) but too many of the songs made me think their was no edit switch in use. Nothing or no-one to say it's not strong enough. The Rita Hayworth song FFS (Take Take Take). I'm never going to forgive either the them or the next 5 generations of their offspring for inflicting that dross upon me.
Just didn’t do it for me.
not a fan of the vocals if I'm honest
Of all the White Stripes albums, this is perhaps the only one I wouldn't include on the "1001 Albums" list. It doesn't sound raw or unpolished—qualities that made them instantly recognizable in the 2000s. Here, they just sound lazy. It’s an album with strong points, but overall, it becomes tedious to listen to. 3 stars.
Unfortunately, after Blue Orchid and the Interesting drumwork on The Nurse this album slowly meanders downhill into a state of poppy piano heavy meh. 2.4/5 -> 2/5
Achei uma energia meio emo. Curti. (3,5/5)
13 songs I knew their biggest songs and I really enjoyed them. The album began with Blue Orchid, so I foolishly thought the rest of the album would be similar in terms of quality. God damn, the rest of this album sucks, and I didn't expect it. It just drags on and on through each uninteresting, uninspired song to reach an end about as exciting as a wet fart. I give this 2 stars, and not 1, simply because of the first song being actually really good.
I give Jack & Meg credit for experimenting and reinventing their sound after some albums of the same (awesome) riff fests. Problem is, the result of the experiments is not my cup of tea, I find it mostly boring. While the instrumentation varies more, the songwriting is really monotonous. Also, it's just so frustrating to listen to a guitar God playing easy piano chord progressions for so many songs. 2/5 - below average
This album grabs you by the balls and does not let go until it gives you satisfaction. A classic from my teenage years. If it sounds like Jack and Meg knocked it out in about a week it's probably because they did. Damn that blue rock sound. 5/5 no notes
Bad
The 13-year-old inside me loved hearing that
utterly enjoyable coming back to this album. not perfect but nice
Disgusting mustache
3/5
*Unique songs at times from the White Stripes, with some songs hitting their more typical style
I definitely liked this better than the previous White Stripes entry White Blood Cells. There seemed to be more piano oriented songs that gave way to a wider sonic variety than the other album. My Doorbell sounds like a centerpiece of the album and the chord progression makes its way into multiple other songs.
This is quite a departure from The White Stripes’s sound up until this point. There are far more acoustic and piano moments, many of which I’m not all that fond of, but I always like hearing an act leaving their comfort zone and trying something different. There is still plenty to like here as there always is with this band but it may be my least favorite project from them so far, despite my appreciation of the experimentation with their sound. I still nearly pushed it up because I just find the songwriting and sonic staples so enjoyable with The White Stripes. 1 listen Favorite Tracks: Blue Orchid; Take, Take, Take; The Denial Twist; Forever For Her (Is Over For Me); My Doorbell
4 pushing 5. Impressive. Really enjoy My Doorbell.
nah not for me
I wanted to like this, I really did, but I got extremely bored very quickly. One continuous noise for 45 minutes as far as I could make out. Jack’s nasal whining did nothing for me, but Meg’s drum work did offer a little bit of salvation. Not enough though. 2/5.
This was fine as someone who never particularly loved nor hated on the White Stripes. But I think they have better albums including on this list. 3 stars.
Great tunes and great hits. Good rock album
I love the White Stripes and Jack and Meg individually. I think people that hate on this album don't really like music. 5/5
More interesting than good
Liked this one, some solid riffs and a bit more instrumentation than earlier albums
Just not my vibe
Inte min sorts rock
far from their best but still decent
Enjoyment: 5/10 Replayability: 5/10 Cohesion: 5/10 Flow/Pacing: 5/10 Artistic Merit: 5/10 Weighted Average: 5/10 Review: This was a very average album that I don't have very strong feelings for. Liked Song(s): Blue Orchid, The Denial Twist, Passive Manipulation Disliked Song(s): The Nurse, Little Ghost Recommend? Maybe Heard Before? No
Not even the album that has the one or two White Stripes songs I like. Jack White has long since admitted that Meg can’t play drums and the two piece has a pretty limited sonic pallet, and he’s cashed in the Stripes for a full band. Unfortunately in doing so he’s proven that he has less to say than we already thought.
Not their best record, But not too far from their worst. Earlier stuff please!
I am indifferent to this Fave track: Blue Orchid
I enjoy the White Stripes. Pretty interesting addition to their discography. Not really relevant, but how good has Jack White’s discography post the White Stripes been? would be cool if a Jack White solo album makes the list. 3/5
Repeat listen; original review remains unchanged: One of the greatest drumming records of my lifetime
Music My Mother Showed Me "Get Behind Me Satan" is my favorite White Stripes album. The band takes a step back from the heavy overdrive that they are known so well for. They keep the simplicity for the most part, there seem to be more technical harmonies and lyricism here..."The first moment that I met her, I did not expect a specter". It's that variety that's always pleased my ears. My Doorbell, Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), Little Ghost, The Denial Twist, Take Take Take, Red Rain, I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) are all tracks that I am willing to listen to at any time. I think a lot of my enjoyment and love for this album is personal though. I will give it a 4.5 rounded down because as a whole it's not as strong as their other releases.
I prefer the black keys
This is fine, the white stripes. Not sure if I prefer this over any of their other albums
the white stripes. das ist was es ist. gibt besseres von ihnen.
Wer kennt sie nicht, die White Stripes mit ihrer Sportshymne. Schön, mal ein anderes Album zu hören.
Cannot fathom how this made the list
Love this album have for years. Some good frantic highs. But some lows that only serve to pass time. Album is a little bit eclectic in order
2000s alt rock, blues rock. Very varied. Folk elements.
When I think of truly iconic two-person bands, bands that mine the deep roots of what it means to rock, I think about Local H. Local H has been cranking out solid two-person rock for more than 30 years. From the snotty youth snark of As Good As Dead to the still fiery but more mature Lifers, with classics peppered through every era, they're about as close as we have to an idea of what Kurt Cobain would sound like in 2026. It's really impressive that Dimery knew enough to include them in… Oh, wait. It's the white stripes? Fuck that. There may not be a more overrated man in rock than Jack White. Emperor's Fucking New Clothes Rock. “My Doorbell” sounds like a song a particularly stupid child would make up on the spot, and that was the hit on this album. Jack white is deep into his pedo-stache era here. That's probably the most meaningful aspect to this album. Like, I don't LIKE anything these guys have ever done, but at least I can accept that the other two on the list were relevant. This was literally just the Jack White Pedostache Album. It's whiny and boring and honestly as bad a drummer as Meg White is, you can barely tell because Jack White is a terrible fucking songwriter. I forget what I gave White Blood Cells, but this is worse so I think it has to be ⭐️ to be safe
By 2005, The White Stripes had acquired a problem they hadn’t really had before: everybody knew what The White Stripes were. White Blood Cells had made them indie darlings; Elephant and “Seven Nation Army” had turned them into something approaching public property. They were on Top of the Pops, Sofia Coppola had Kate Moss pole-dancing in a White Stripes video, and the peculiar little red-white-and-black duo that once required advocacy suddenly didn’t need anyone explaining them at all. Success had supplied them with an identity, and identities supplied by other people have a habit of becoming cages. So Jack White did something I approve of enormously. He went home with the songs substantially unfinished, surrounded himself with instruments he wasn’t especially fluent on and got thirteen tracks made in roughly a fortnight. The Elephant in the room needed to be moved quickly. Make Elephant again and you’ve gone stale; don’t make it again and you’ve betrayed whatever everybody has just decided to love about you. The only sensible response is to get another record into existence before expectation has time to harden around it. What’s fascinating is how completely Get Behind Me Satan exposes the real White Stripes formula. It was never “huge guitar plus Meg hitting things”. It was reduction. Use very little, make every sound carry weight, leave the gaps alone, keep the accidents, and stop when the idea is finished rather than when the song has reached some respectable length. Swap guitar for piano, marimba, toy piano, hand drum or acoustic strings and the method survives perfectly well. “My Doorbell” could almost be transplanted onto an earlier album if you put the guitar back in; “Little Ghost” is an informal half-secular hymn whose jaunty surface hides a relationship gone paper-thin; “Instinct Blues” is Cole Porter crossed with Muddy Waters, at points reducing itself beyond rhythm into little more than scrapes, squeaks and bits of abused string. The ingredients have changed. The method hasn’t. White has also built himself a recording setup in which he hasn’t got time to become self-conscious. The songs are unfinished, the instruments unfamiliar, the deadline absurd. It’s the musical equivalent of writing before you’ve had time to cross anything out. The result is rough but extraordinarily competently captured. On “My Doorbell” he backs away from the microphone and lets the room get into the vocal; you hear the walls, the distance, the physical act of singing. On “The Nurse”, the beautiful marimbas are punctured by Meg’s enormous boneheaded drum stabs. Nothing is being polished into obedience. The album keeps the life in the first impulse. And what comes through that lack of filtration is a surprisingly bruised Jack White. Broken trust runs through the record, but so does the need to escape other people’s expectations, and I don’t hear those as separate themes. “The Nurse” turns the person who is supposed to care for you into the source of the wound. “The Denial Twist” understands the dangerous privilege of the songwriter: private life becomes public material, and the singer gets the microphone. “White Moon” is an impressionist nursery rhyme for an expressionist performer, its Rita Hayworth imagery floating past in fragments while White sings as though every fragment matters desperately. At times the feelings are gauche and raw. Good. A record made this way ought to show the bits that a more careful process would have tidied out. The really interesting thread, though, is projection. “Take, Take, Take” is one of the sharpest songs here because Jack’s own explanation of it — that it’s about people not being taught manners — is absolutely sufficient. A fan meets Rita Hayworth and every request is “all I needed” until it is granted, at which point he needs something else. She eventually says she needs some sleep and he decides that seems mean. By the end he has converted her perfectly ordinary boundary into evidence that she never cared he was there at all. That’s fandom curdling into grievance: the object of admiration stubbornly remains a subject with her own fatigue, time and interior life, and the fan takes offence. Fame merely magnifies a very ordinary failure of empathy. “As Ugly As I Seem” then turns the same problem back onto Jack. Someone has a “vision that you had decided for me”, and that line feels central to the whole album. Creativity doesn’t make somebody a saint, but audiences often discover an artist, canonise an imaginary version of them, and then become furious when the ordinary flawed person starts showing through. The correction can be as false as the worship. The artist goes from saint to monster without ever having been seen. Get Behind Me Satan increasingly sounds like a record made by someone discovering how unpleasant it is to be surrounded by other people’s versions of you. By “Red Rain”, that relationship with the outside world has properly curdled. “You think not telling is the same as not lying” is trust reduced to semantic evasion; “if there is a lie, then there is a liar too” refuses to let responsibility disappear into fog. The song itself sounds slightly broken, toy piano and familiar White Stripes attack reassembled just a little out of true. It’s less angry than emotionally wrecked, as though even the language two people use to negotiate honesty has stopped working. Then the whole record shrinks down to an old country ballad on a piano. “I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet)” begins, “Well I miss my mother and I miss being her son”, and suddenly artist, celebrity, difficult bastard, genius and projected public object all fall away. Whatever you become, you remain somebody’s son. Later White nearly whispers the verse about going down to the river, wondering whether any reason was left, and leaving just before his lungs could get wet. He barely seems to dare say it. Yet the song isn’t surrender. Its subtext feels closer to: I’m not rewriting myself for anybody. He can admit loneliness, regret, selfishness, ugliness and despair without accepting somebody else’s preferred version of him. That is why this gets five stars from me. Not because every moment is immaculate, but because I watched an artist deliberately get himself back to a place where he could surprise himself. He abandoned the tools with which he had just become enormously successful, trusted speed, reduction, accident and unfamiliarity, and discovered that the White Stripes identity survived perfectly well without the props everyone had mistaken for its essence. Get Behind Me Satan looks like a band running away from what made them themselves. In fact it proves they knew exactly what mattered and what could be thrown away. The Elephant in the room needed to be moved quickly. They moved it.
Favvoband, lite högt och lågt men det höga är HÖGT
Klart intressant nog för att ta sig över mängden.
Bra och mångsidigt! Blue Orchid är verkligen en kanonlåt.
Very mid project from The White Stripes. Seven Nation Army creators btw. Blue Orchid is at least nice.
Solid album, I was aware of the hits off it but there's some interesting other tracks which mix genres that I hadn't heard before
low 3.0. Parece mais um pastiche próprio, reimplementando fórmulas de álbuns anteriores mas sem nenhum tipo de profundidade. Não é tão desastroso pois os músicos tem competência técnica mínima, mas no geral é apenas desinteressante.
4/5 Favorite Song: Blue Orchid
It's inventive stuff but never grips me. I should like this more
Solid album. I dig this on several levels, and will probably go back to this. Only a few tracks I didn't like. 5/5
honestly quite weak, blue orchid remains a banger
5/5. One of my favorites.
Decent. Not doing cartwheels! Thought they were more rocky, but at some point it was a bit country. 3*
favs: blue orchid instinct blues take, take, take red rain im lonely (but i ain’t that lonely yet) rating 1.9/5
Great album honestly !! A little more flavour than Pearl, but again dips a little boring in the middle but overall I like it
I liked this one! The instrumentals were good and there was a good variety from rock songs to acoustic piano ballads. The only thing for me was the guys voice was kinda annoying but that would probably go away after a few listens. I would listen again. 3.5/5
On today's episode of "this is the worst album by an already mid artist but you should listen to it first!"... The White Stripes! Seriously, why do I have to listen to this? I wasn't too averse to listening to an album by this band but I heard the first song and it was alright but it didn't really go anywhere and ended weirdly, but then I listened to the next song and it did the exact same thing. Then, I checked on AOTY to see how this was rated and see people say the first song is the best? Oh god, I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it very much. The vocals are actively bad throughout, I'm not going to lie. The guitar parts are fine, but boring and don't do much. The piano is corny and awful, and I know they were trying to do something different here but I don't know how they weren't afraid to even put these songs out. Well, it was actually probably just for the money actually. It just feels like they're trying so hard to do some different but have no idea what that is and just end up sounding really stupid, and the lyrcis and their delivery (in all ways) is awful. It's not good.
Album #137: Get Behind Me Satan - White Stripes Genre (W): Alternative rock, blues rock, blues, pop, country, experimental Singles: Blue Orchid, My Doorbell, The Denial Twist I have not listened to this album before. Thoughts?: Normally I enjoy albums that are extremely versatile. However, with this one, I feel like the White Stripes are trying too hard to do multiple styles at once. What worked with Gorillaz was that they stuck to a core sound, which was hip-hop. However, with this one, it just seems to jump from genre to genre without warning. It makes for a strange, unpleasant listen. Favorite tracks: Blue Orchid, My Doorbell, Little Ghost, The Denial Twist
Oh yeah. I remember when this came out. XPN made a big deal about it. I kinda liked the Doorbell song. The rest is fine too I guess.
A classic sound.
Has some more straight-up Hard Rock songs along with more piano-influenced and acoustic songs/ballads. It was a really good album and it shows all of their talents. I enjoyed it a lot!
Bra album, några konstiga låtar men overall är den imponerande
holy shit there's a marimba feature. holy shit it's not just one song. no way there's some glockenspiel too. wow. aside from that this was a nice album, not much else to say though.
I don’t listen to this album much and I can’t remember the last time I listened to it all the way through! I guess I’ll always do a double take between Blue Orchid and The Nurse and wonder who turned on the Rugrats theme 😭
I liked “The Denial Twist” and some of the instrumentals, but Jack White’s voice really does not work for me.
Rock
The White Stripes are fecking horrible.
Len Houmous once replaced Jack White for an entire tour. No one noticed. Not even Jacks sister. 2.6 6/13 The Denial Twist
走向更华丽，音乐没新意
Good rock and they have a wide breath of what they play. No one song stuck out to me though.
The White Stripes move away from their guitar-driven sound to incorporate other instruments and the results are pretty middling. Jack exchanges his guitar for piano, mostly, with some mandolin and (very questionably) marimba thrown in. Meg mostly sticks with drums but occasionally finds other things to bang on as well. Without the power of their usual approach, the songwriting needs to fall back on other elements, and those elements just aren't as satisfying. There are a few highlights ("The Denial Twist" and "Instinct Blues" are standouts) but for the most part, the songs seem to be the usual stripped-back approach without bringing their biggest gun to the fight.
Not my favorite white stripes
I like The White Stripes and all but what exactly were they thinking here? A bunch of little half-formed ideas here that lack the bite of their best stuff.
Kinda interesting music, dog dirt vocals.
Amazing album!!!!!!!!!!!!
Different direction for The White Stripes. Jack White is an amazing musician and writer. Love it!
The cover concept and design for The White Stripes' album Get Behind Me Satan were credited to The Third Man, with layout and design execution by Arthole Design. The photography featured on the packaging was shot by Ewen Spencer. (wiki) It's ok if you like red, black and white sleeves with some obvious symbolism related to the title. I have seen better photos by Ewan. So an in-house sleeve most likely conceptualised by Jack. Music is fine.
Edgy...
Ok, but there were many moments where ⌘Q was tempting me… ★★★
I feel truly neutral about this album. Nothing to keep me here and nothing to make me walk away. Just OK
Great album
Nothing stood out and made me want to listen again.
I thought I was ready for something besides angsty singing while someone slams their hands onto the piano. They proved me wrong by having someone angsty sing while someone angrily strums a guitar repeatedly without changing chord. I guess different isn't always better.
Not real familiar with White Stripes. Recording seemed muffled so not sure how it was done. First half of the album the songs were up and down for me. Really picked up with "Instinct Blues". Instrumentals were very good. Freaking weird album but I guess that's the genius of Jack White. Two more White Stripes albums to go and hopefully one of those will make me more of a fan.
My Doorbell felt different, like how he riffed the singing. The Denial Twist had really cool drum, um, symbol stuff. Update at end of album. Wow, all of this felt fresh and originally creative to me. I thought they were "just another rock band that sings 'Seven Nation Army'", but actually, I felt they have a unique singing against unique instruments and each song is different. Congrats White Stripes, you converted me.
I've never understood why people think the White Stripes are so good. They're fine, but nothing special. This album is exactly that. I do appreciate some of the more experimental parts of the songs. And the variety between the songs is also appreciated after having to listen to so many albums that identical start to finish.
This was surprisingly good. Surprising because I think the first few white stripes albums get so much love. But that first track was an absolute rocker of an opener. Loved it. Going vinyl shopping later and might have to pick this up to add to my White Stripes collection.
This album is fantastic. I've listened to in more than any other White Stripes album. Every song is amazing and fills me with joy.
Shite
just noisy tbh…… did not love
I remember having mixed feelings about this when it was released, and this is the first time I've listened to it since then. The album opens with a strong guitar riff, typical of their earlier work. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. But I because quite frustrated with the album by the time Little Ghost came on. Much of this album seems to be trying to position itself as experimental and eclectic at the same time. I think these two ideas contradict each other. The result is an album which seems to wear its influences as costume rather than celebrate them, as if the image is more important than the sound. This just made the entire thing sound hollow and insincere to me. Some good riffs saves it at times, but I found the rest of it a bit grating. I can't explain it.
Not my style
Good variety in styles, might have to give a re-listen soon
fine
Was never a huge fan of 90's music, but I liked WS
An interesying listen? I'd always heard about the White Stripes and was expecting more.
I enjoy the white stripes. Do I think this is musically good? Not particularly, it has a loooot going on with minimal cohesion. But I like it so it gets 4 stars.
Alternative rock, blues rock, blues, pop, country, experimental.
381/1001 The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❓ The singles from this are entertaining enough, but never got me to delve any deeper into it. The rest is good enough, but still can't think of an urge to reach for this.
Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Sehr gut, aber nicht deren Bestes.
Seth - 3.1/5 Logan 1/5
Pretty solid album, nice variation between each song. This is also when I found out that The White Stripes is just 2 people.
This was not what I expected. Not complaining though bc I didn’t really like elephant. 3 stars

i just don’t really like the white stripes sorry the music doesn’t hold up very well with time
Ik weet niet helemaal waarom, maar ik vond het niet echt een lekker album om naar te luisteren (op een paar nummers na).
Never got these two, boring
Boring tbh, after the first 3/4 songs it really starts to fall a bit flat and sort of feels like you’re at the end of a drawn out jamming session. White Stripes definitely have some bangers and were a good band, but this album doesn’t massively advertise that. 2.0/5.0 Best Song: Blue Orchid
Dull, not their best by any metric. Just the same vibe riff over and over.
Love The White Stripes. This is the biggest curveball album of their career and certainly takes a lot of risks, but the sauce is still there and the tracks slap. The Denial Twist and My Doorbell have been on most of my playlists since the first time I heard them, and the rest of this isn’t too far behind. Just a great performance from one of the tightest bands in rock music.
In which messr White partially eschews guitars in favour of gamellans and suchlike. Interesting ideas, but it seems like an album compiled from the cutting room floor
This sounds like eclectic lo-fi sounds from someone who listened to his parents’ albums. I approve.
I like the White Stripes a lot, but I wasn't super familiar with this album, other than "My Doorbell". A bit of a mix for me - some songs I added to playlists but also a few skips.
sehr interessant, cooles cover, einfach cool
Enjoyed it far more than I expected. Saved a song: Y RYM: N
Sonido muy pop - rock británico, la primera canción "Blue Orchid" empieza con todo, pero después cambia la vibra , tiene varios estilos musicales, y me gustó mucho la batería, pero no fue un álbum muy trascendental para mi.
Not my favorite White Stripes album, but still enjoyable.
A classic. Sounds like this grungy-fuzzy early 2000's rock. With a universal anthem into it.
I don't get the hype behind The White Stripes. Never have and thought I'd try this an be open minded but it just wasn't for me
Has the intensity of White Stripes that I've heard before, but kind of all over the place. They're trying lots of different instruments and textures, and that's kind of it -- lots of trying things, not really settling on anything.
The White Stripes were a great Garage Blues Band.
I dig it but it didn't blow me away. 3.5
Meh.
Like all their albums, it's a pleasure to listen to. I prefer rockin' out White Strips to weird, experimental white stripes, although the latter is a perfectly cromulent listening experience.
Medio bastante una poronga ¿no?
mmmmmmmpretty good but not really my type of music
White Oichid babay!

En bra skiva jag skulle vilja ge 3,5 men rundar upp till 4. Bäst är My Doorbell, Blue Orchid och The Denial Twist. Ett par låtar som inte håller måttet. Skulle kunna vara ännu bättre om den var lite kortare.
A creative classic.
Not their best album but there's no denying "The White Stripes" bring something special to the table
Les musiques en elles-même sont écoutables, par contre il n’y pas de cohérence entre les musiques qui s’enchaînent. On passe un peu du coq à l’âne…
It’s ok, a couple of tunes I like.
I am a big fan of the White Stripes. The album is quieter than other White Stripe albums. Piano in a lot of songs. A lot of break up songs. Problems in the group. Problems in the relationship. Best songs: The nurse, My doorbell and Little ghost. A very good album. Four stars
I got the White Blood Cells CD when it came out and dug it, didn't really follow them after that. This Get Behind Me Satan album is very mediocre, so much so that I listened to WBC for the first time in 20 years to see if I still like it and I do, it fucking rocks. Perused the other later albums and they also rock. I think this might be their worst album. Not sure why it's on the list!
Jack White è un figo. Jack White è perfetto in tutte le sue manifestazioni. E quest'album è la pecora nera della sua produzione. Sicuramente non è il più amato dai fan nè il più famoso, il suono inconfondibile della sua chitarra è presente forse in tre tracce, ti godi Blue Orchid scuotendo la testa e poi cominci a sognare, fra riff di chitarra country, accordi di pianoforte e melodie di marimba. Forse, un Jack White così dolce non lo rivedremo mai più.
I actually enjoied this a lot more than I thought I would. I like how little electric guitar is on it. Still a bit annoying at times, but over all pretty good.
I remember being quite disappointed with this album when it released. It just didn't hold a candle to Elephant, but it has definitely aged well. I enjoyed it much more in my 30s than I did in my teens. Although it's still not as good as Elephant. 4.25* rounded down to 4*
was gonna give 2 stars because like there are for sure worse things out there and why not a little bonus for my funny memory of watching jack white get 86d from my work? but then that stupid fucking doorbell song got stuck in my head all day long. fuck this ipod commercial jingle ass album
I want to like this band but this album doesn’t help. Maybe it’s just because it’s their first album I listened to front to back
Fell in love with this album <3
I think this kind of "modern-ish album that wants really badly to sound like old garage band stuff" isn't really for me.
unrelated to this album but what would crowds be yelling in unison at sports events and concerts if seven nation army didnt exist
white blood cells clears
interesting but not my cup of tea
Really enjoyed, will be listening again
Cool album, I wasn't very familiar with their albums overall and it's the first I listen to in full. It's a great mix of pure rock and other genres included in the songs. Very good.
This album is not they're best by far, but it's still good enough (for me)
I only just had Elephant 5 days ago or so and I didn’t really like that much and only really liked a couple of songs from it, this one I have to say is better. I’m discovering that overall I’m not a huge fan of The White Stripes considering I had been pretty neutral on them before starting on this project, in fact I quite like Seven Nation Army and expected more like that. But I’ve come to the conclusion that had they not struck gold with that song they wouldn’t have nearly the same hype around them that they did, especially not to have multiple albums on a list of ‘must hear’ albums. I did enjoy this a lot more than Elephant though and there’s a couple of decent songs here, my favourite being Forever For Her. FT: Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) Rating: 3/5
Get a bass player! Or play Seven Nation Army
This album feels like being edged by a better album where every track circles being interesting but never actually gets there. No standout tracks to me. Rating: 2
Take a bowl of indie rock. Add to it a handful of folk. Then garnish with some art school experimental musical expression. And you come out with something that sounds a bit like this album. I like the White Stripes but not nearly as much as it sounds like the White Stripes like the White Stripes. Everything sounds intentional and performed for effect. Which is very clever, but it doesnt feel in any way relaxed. It doesnt make me dislike the album. But it certainly makes me less likely for this album to be my favourite. (2.750)
I am sad to say I did not enjoy this. The production quality is low, which from a band as big as The White Stripes at this point in their career was clearly a choice, but I don’t think this works as a cohesive album. To its credit it often reminded me of a 2000s Hunky Dory, but without much of its charm. The singles I know, and enjoy, but beyond those there wasn’t much to love about this album.
The openeing song is defintiely the best, the other 12 could all be the same song as far as I'm concerned
3 de 5
I don't understand the hype around Jack White at all. He's prolific - I'll give him that - but I can't stand any of it, really. And, this album cover is pretentious and off-putting. 2 stars.
#37 - The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Other than Seven Nations Army, I don’t really know anything about The White Stripes. The album cover made me think that these were drama kids from high school, kinda like Panic! At the Disco, who make very theatrical music. That might not be completely accurate, but that’s how I saw it. This album is amazing. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this far surpassed my preconceived notions and made me want to look further into The White Stripes music.
Strong beginning I love blue orchid. The rest didn’t work as well for me
Trying to fill shoes too big for them
It's funny just how garagey and sketchy it is, but the stripped back approach soon reveals its limits as well. Not an unpleasant album, but falls short of better efforts.
This was my second White Stripes album in the project and I've had a Jack White solo one as well. I'd never been a fan of theirs/his, and listening to full albums has continued to reinforce my opinion. With that background, I wasn't too excited to listen to today's record. And for the most part I felt the same as I always have. I respected the talent, but I got minimal enjoyment from the actual songs. There is a however in this case. There were two songs that stood out for me as so completely different from what I'm used to hearing from TWS and I really liked them a lot. They were My Doorbell and Forever For Her. I never imagined I'd save one of their songs to my own playlist, much less two. But I did. The album will still likely just get a three star rating.
I don’t really like the white stripes that much. this album not for me.
Of the two White Stripes albums I've had on here - I definitely prefer the other one (Elephant). However this wasn't completely bad, Blue Orchid is a great track and there are some other highlights such as "Take Take Take" "White Moon" and "As Ugly As I Seem". Sadly there was too much on here that was just uninteresting to me that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe a lack of energy or spark that seemed to be there on Elephant was gone? 3/5 seems a fair assessment for me.
Get Behind Me Satan is the White Stripes at their most deliberately eccentric, which is either an admirable refusal to repeat themselves or a band stretching beyond what the songs can support depending on which track you're on. Both things are true simultaneously, which is ultimately what keeps it at three. The pivot away from guitar toward piano and marimba as primary instruments was a genuine artistic risk, and the moments where it pays off are real — "My Doorbell" has a loose, piano-driven groove that shows what the record could have been if the material was consistently this focused. "Blue Orchid" opens with a disorienting slide guitar riff that commits completely to its own strangeness. These are the peaks, and they're worth hearing. Everything between them is where the stretching becomes audible. Jack White's blues obsession and Delta mythology are the consistent thread, but the eccentricity that feels like vision on the strong tracks starts to feel like self-indulgence on the weaker ones — the difference between an artist following their instincts somewhere interesting and an artist following their instincts somewhere only they can follow. A three that respects the ambition without being able to recommend the execution consistently. The White Stripes were genuinely great; this particular record is merely interesting, which in their catalog is its own kind of disappointment.
Really nice.
For me part of maturing and getting to an age where I give pretty much no fucks about other people’s opinion of me is admitting that The White Stripes are overrated, they have a handful of really good songs across their catalogue and hats off for showing that a two piece band can fill large venues but a lot of this album is pretty rudimentary and boring, Jack Whites voice grates almost as much as Meg Whites drumming and their best songs/ ideas are on the singles so you need not buy the whole album 2.3
It's a good eclectic mix of songs. But it's not their strongest record by a long way.
I was so pleasantly surprised with this album! I thought I was going to be bored and really put it off but boy was I wrong. I loved the sheer number of instruments that appeared throughout and the album progresses in such a way that my attention was really zeroed in for the whole ride. My Doorbell was so fun and the point where I realised this album just might do it for me. So incredibly moved by I’m Lonely… and think it might be one of the all-time album closers. I’m floored by how much I liked this!!!
Definitely not as good as White Blood Cells, but still a pretty good listen. I think this is about where I first became aware of the White Stripes, around 2005, my mum always complained if one of their songs came on and I probably felt reasonably neutral towards them. Blue Orchid, My Doorbell and The Denial Twist are all just so good! Easily up there among their best songs, and I like how they each have their distinct sound to them. Not so huge on the rest of the album
Not my favourite White Stripes outing but also one that has grown on me considerably since its release/my first listen. I admire that they tried something different and I think it pays off most of the time but occasionally falls a bit clunky.
Low key this is probably my favourite white stripes record. I've listened to it a lot, and we'll after the end of their run.
I love The White Stripes so much. I’ve never listened to this album all of the way through though. Jack White’s singing can kind of get annoying after a while. But there’s really some bangers here and will come back to it. What a great name for an album by the way. I love Blue Orchid, Denial Twist, Take Take Take.
Uuu, januarja sem ju že dobila. "Blue Orchid" je kul začetek. "My Doorbell" je a delight. "Little Ghost" pa sploh. Not my favourite od vseh albumov, ampak nikakor pa ne neljub (ne morm dojet, a ma poved ta smisel, k mislim, a je a total clusterfuck). "Red Rain" je kr a banger. Naslovnica je huda.
I have plenty of love and respect for The White Stripes,but while I’d always considered this album to be up there with their best, today’s left me wanting for more hooks. Still a good listen, but Jack White has written a better collection of songs both before and after this album.
++: Blue Orchid, Forever for Her (Is Over for Me), I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) +: My Doorbell, Little Ghost, As Ugly as I Seem +-: The Denial Twist, Instinct Blues, Take, Take, Take -: The Nurse, White Moon, Red Rain --: Passive Manipulation 4,0/10
This was fine. I kind of liked the minimalistic rock sound they have, but it’s not something that really grabbed me and makes me want to come back to it. 3/5
Going into this, the only song I've heard from this album was The Denial Twist, which I thought was one of The White Stripes' best songs (of what I've heard). At the end, I still believe that, but there's still quite a bit here I liked. Blue Orchid, White Moon, Red Rain, and I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) all stood out to me in particular. On the other hand, I thought The Nurse and Little Ghost were more annoying than anything else, and I honestly can't figure out what Passive Manipulation is doing here. Still, overall, this is a good album.
The White Stripes are growing on me! I added “Blue Orchid” to my playlist but I have a real soft spot for “I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely)”.
This album was big when it came out, and we couldn't escape the White Stripes. We still can't escape Jack White. I myself prefer Jack Black - funnier, more range, and seems like a great human overall. Jack White kinda gives this lady the ick. The album itself has some overplayed tracks and then some boredom. If you've heard the hits, you have a fair sense of what the rest of this will sound like.
This album 100% was produced in an elementary school music classroom Listen to it and tell me I'm wrong. The teacher was like class we have a special guest today. This is Jack and Meg from the white stripes and they're gonna play us a song or two. And they start off with the opening track and then the first graders start grabbing random instruments and bringing them to Meg and Jack and they just go with it. I'm sure the teacher practically tackled the seven-year-old with boogers on his face when he tried to grab the slide whistle and give it to Jack. The one song I'm sure all the girls were asking Meg if she had a singing voice.... and she doesn't. But she tried anyways, which made all the girls feel comfortable and confident and trying themselves. Then Jack Meg said let's write a song quick give me your favorite Red OK now tell me something that you've seen today It's raining Red rain! I'm sure that the producers just simply cut the kids singing along out of the final track.
The opening track is fantastic and full of energy, but a few of the more experimental tracks don't quite hit the same energetic highs. Despite the inconsistency, it has a very polished sound and some fantastic guitar parts!
ok no, pensé que por ser una banda conocida iba a ser mejor.....
They're talented, but perhaps they need to pick a lane? There's a weird smug vibe here - like White is saying "Look at all this stuff I can do!", at the expense of the album being a coherent work. I know it's strange, I tend to think of albums as little more than a collection of songs. But in this case, what's going on here is so disjointed, that I can't look past that. And then a critical hit from an emotional nuke to close. Rating: Random/10. It's all over the place, I feel like if I'm trying to assign a rating, I might as well be throwing darts at a board. In a tornado. While standing upside down. Because I think that's what the artists did while composing this. Well I got the 14 segment of the board. So I guess that's a 7/10. Or a high 3, low 4 on this scale.
Surprisingly melodic and enjoyable. I thought it would be less poppy. Good album.
The greatest guitarist of the 21st century makes a piano album and it’s fine. Some good songwriting but not really what I listen to the White Stripes for.
11. jul 2026. 15.33h ponekad 5 ponekad 0 ponekad 3 best: instinct blues worst: my doorbell, little ghost
How does an album that starts so well get so boring?
i got this when it came out, having liked “elephant” quite a bit, but i didn’t really like it at the time. it’s better than i remember, but it doesn’t get better than the opening track.
Interesante
Not sure to which extent I will listen again to this record, but I enjoyed the energy of the songs. Favorite track : Blue Orchid 3.5/5
really? in a vacuum i would give this a respectable if unremarkable and sometimes irritating 3. (i can only be made to hear about jack white's problems with women for so long before i start to resent it.) but because it has been presented to me as one of the most important albums of all time i have to give it a 2. presumably it was removed from the book once the contributor(s) recovered from mid white guy blues-rock fever #previously listened (partial)
Was nice to get this behind me
Not the best one they did
Doorbell ended up an earworm for the day
a little repetitive but not so much that it's a bad listen
First complete white stripes album I've heard and it's very good
Bands need to change in order to stay relevant, but here the Stripes seem to have jettisoned their foundational principle of simple music done well in favour of overly-experimental music done badly, although a few songs still slap.
Muy buen disco, alternativo clásico de los 2000's
Did not like it as much as I thought I would.
Rocking and rocking more.
Some good songs, and quintessential White stripes “sounds”. A decent listen but rare I would throw it on.
Eh
I think I prefer The White Stripes I'm doses of single tracks rather than full albums. I like them but after a while Jack's voice begins to grate.
I love this record. It’s an oddball in their catalog, largely eschewing guitar for a pummeled piano but when it hits, it’s among their best. Not where I’d start you with them, but Denial Twist would be on the mixtape.
Jack White was always an eccentric at heart, but his peculiarity finds new flower on Get Behind Me Satan. Some of it I love, such as the marimbas balancing the crash of guitars on “The Nurse,” the woozy Zeppelinism of "Red Rain" or Meg White’s out-of-tune vocal turn on the brief and bizarre “Passive Manipulation.” But overall the album has less impact than its predecessors. I give the White Stripes credit for trying new things, but — and I feel predictable saying this — I want more guitar-and-drums bombast, not piano ballads.
Better than many other ★★★'s, but still a ★★★.
Since removed from the list because there are TWO othe white stripes albums on the list, both better than this one.
There are a few catchy songs on here, but overall I found this album pretty uninspiring. The highlights are obvious. “Blue Orchid,” “My Doorbell,” and “The Denial Twist” they have the hooks and personality you'd expect from the White Stripes, but there's a lot of material between them that just doesn't leave much of an impression. It's not a bad album by any means, but compared to the band's best work, it feels surprisingly flat. I never found myself bored, but I also never found myself thinking, "I can't wait to hear that song again."
I was surprised to see that there are 3 WS albums on this list... you could easily argue their shouldn't be any! I liked them quite a bit when this came out and so I know the album really well and I did enjoy it, particularly with that nostalgia baked in. I also appreciate that they tried to do something a little different here, leaning in on an expanded instrumentation and away a little from the traditional garage-blues of earlier albums. But ultimately, this is just a good album and not a great one... no need to hear this before you die, but if you do, you'll probably have a decent enough time.
Yy
Not their greatest album, but still a good listen. I start to get bored towards the end
MEG JACK WHITE STRIPES QUOI DE +
Blue Orchid - 4/5 The Nurse - 3.5/5 My Doorbell - 3/5 Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) - 3/5 Little Ghost - 3/5 The Denial Twist - 3/5 White Moon - 2.5/5 Instinct Blues - 2.5/5 Passive Manipulation - 3/5 Take, Take, Take - 3/5 As Ugly As I Seem - 3/5 Red Rain - 3/5 I’m Lonely (But Ain’t That Lonely Yet) - 3/5
I adore this album but if it’s the white stripes only representation here I have questions. The obvious choice is elephant, critics will tell you white blood cells, I’m arguing for Icky Thump (their best by far). Jack white just is the best rock musician of his generation, everything about him from his creative instincts to his strange behavior are all befitting of the musical and marketing genius he is. Do not ever downplay Meg either, I’m a true Meg believer. Anyone who claims they can do what she can, cool, do it. She has such a unique voice and tone to the way she plays that honestly this band would be more comparable to a Gary Clark Jr or John Mayer scenario (not bad, but not nearly as unique). Just about every song on here is a banger, blue orchid, little ghost, doorbell, instinct blues, ugly are faves but they’re all good. Rare band, really struggle to rank their albums because they are all of the same quality and deserving of Fives except for the debut but that still hits a 4. On time spent with them, I’ll say Icky Thump > elephant > White blood cells > de Stijl > get behind me > ST but truly white blood, de Stijl, and elephant are interchangeable based on the day.
I like The White Stripes, but this is egregious. If you told me this was the 1001th album added to the list, I'd totally believe you. It's like the author ran out of bands he liked. No one's forcing you to do 1001 albums dude. It's ok. Just do 501 if that's all you can think of.
After LOVING the first 3 White Stripes albums I started to tire of them by Elephant, and then GBMS kind of passed me by. Nice tonal shift and some decent tunes, but wasn't mega keen.
Blue Orchid - firmly eh. The Nurse - I didn’t like it but it caught my interest. My Doorbell - Liked some of the gimmick and the rhythm. Forever for Her (Is Over For Me) - Okay. Little Ghost - Fun!! The Denial Twist - Enjoyable. White Moon - Marginally better than Blue Orchid. Instinct Blues - Okay again. Passive Manipulation - Really could use better delivery. Take, Take, Take - I really like Rita as a name. Besides that, felt like I got something from this one. As Ugly As I Seem - Kinda felt that. Red Rain - Alright. I’m Lonely - Finally peak. At its best when it commits to the blues. Also, beautiful album cover.
Hits a nostalgic cord for me, but pretty meh for otherwise.
Its pretty obvious that this album is meant to be experimental, and thats completely okay! Most of the songs on here are just not for me. Some good songs but as an album? Not my cup of tea Songs I genuinely liked: White Moon, Instinct Blues, Red Rain (this one was half good half meh)
this album makes me think its creators really like led zeppelin and then it makes me think I should listen to led zeppelin, track 1 is a 3.5 but the rest brings it down, I got very bored
It opens on the best song, then I kinda didn't process the rest of the album after that.
Hard to go wrong with the White Stripes for me, although I was a little less enamored with this album than I thought I would be. The relationship drama lyrics got a bit old after a while but I still loved 'Ain't That Lonely Yet', what a great way to end an album. Plus the White Stripes tickle my lizard brain that goes 'ME LIKE CHUNKY DRUMS AND RIFFS' so I was pretty happy with this.
Мой слоняра
Норм, что-то из детства.
Не моя группа, всё что не слушал - мимо. Как и сольное творчество джека
не лучший альбом white stripes, это скорее 3.5
Denial Twist sounds as fresh and vital as ever, My Doorbell's still a whole mess of dumb fun, and there's plenty more to enjoy besides. A low four for the filler, maybe, but a four all the same.
Funky and pure white stripes. The new kind though, not the electric guitar white stripes ;) . Fun and unique and without a break-out single.
Good album - will add to my artist list.
TBH was not paying full attention but know this was not the right time to listen to this lmfao it overall gave me anxiety but was already anxious so not necessarily the album's fault.
Not for me.. I just couldn't really get into it.
I love Jack and Meg, and throughout this album I'm reminded that it wasn't Jack slamming open chords through whatever Big Pi he could find that made The White Stripes great; it was Meg completely holding down the groove. I think her drum work really made The Stripes stand out, and why Jack White hasn't found the explosive popularity since they ended. Get Behind Me Satan is not my favorite offering of theirs, I was more excited when "Ball and Biscuit" came on Spotify after the album ended.
Jack White is a talented dude and has not only depth and breadth of knowledge of American music but also the skill to rearrange and reconstitute it to match his vision. This record is no different - White flexes his talents as singer and guitarist across these various tracks, all of which are stamped with his style and personality. Trouble is that, aside from "My Doorbell", the music on this disk (or pretty much any White Stripes record) ain't really my cup of tea.
This album did not do it for me. Just didn’t feel inspired at all and I can’t even remember any of the songs even though I listened to it yesterday
Me gustó! tiene partes en las que suena más como folclórico y eso le da un toque diferente al tipo de género que es, mis canciones favoritas fueron i’m lonely e instinct blues
Every White Stripes album I listed to, I am met with the Jack White conundrum. Jack White is cool, and good. I'm glad Jack White does his thing. Jack White is also maybe a little annoying? So, the hits are big hits, but the misses usually miss for me. So, I always leave a White Stripes album thinking, that was fine. And when it came out it was unlike anything else, and I can appreciate that, and I remember being so hyped when they were being released, but now, they are just fine. But thats ok.
