That was a big no. His voice sound like a teenager whining so hard his forehead veins starts to pop and his face turns red. His voice didn't irritate me as much in Elephant, probably thanks to the effects added.

Allora raga giuro che ci ho anche provato ad ascoltarlo, ma questi suoni mi fanno venire il mal di testa sorry

i'm having a hard time with his voice. definitely the type of rock i don't like. but it must be great when you feel angry.

Unfortunately do not like these guys

Had a headache when I went to listen and it definitely was not a good idea

With the exception of "You and I Are Going to be Friends", the rest of the album feels like nothing more than a bunch of half baked ideas that almost approach demo level, but are not remotely album ready yet. I respect the stripped down sound, but come on, this is ridiculous. The most fun you can have with this album is to imagine what each song could have been with a producer and song arrangements that included more instruments. An album that I think does not belong on this list.

Not my style

Jack White vocals just aren’t my fave. Read up on garage rock and know this is the style, but not for me I guess. I know it’s great music, and it’s like nothing I’ve listened to, so there’s that. I liked side b more, not sure why Fave Track: offend in every way Runner up: aluminum Least fave: most of it

The album starts by ripping off the riff from “25 or 6 to 4” and heads down the road of screechy teen-angst vocals. When does the guitar phenom show up?

It's somewhere between 1960's Kinks and my son's high school band, without any physical or emotional ties (for me)....... meh. Gonna head back to Ryan Adams and Killers.

couldn’t finish - never been a fan and all the songs sound the same

Never played an album of them before. Some songs were interesting and some not so much.

The White Stripes are an American band who sound like a British band trying to sound like an American band. After diving in the mid-Atlantic searching for treasures, The White Stripes return with a pathetic bounty of scraps and discarded tat, the pearls having long already been plundered.

Didn't enjoy personally. 1.5

Thought I liked The White Stripes. I do not.

Niet veel soeps, veel geschreeuw, weinig inspirerend...

Nunca le pillé la gracia a esta banda

Pretty shitty, very basic and low production value

Painful, hard to believe someone put this together as an album of their work.

Todo ruido. Solo ruido. Y más ruido. Feíto, feíto. Saqué dos temas para la lista, pero no merece ni un 2.

just sommone albumi josta en oikeen tykkää... 2000-luku alkupuoli rock hei lets rock guys! we are going to rock the house tonight yell ROCK when i yell LETS you yell ROCK! ei käy.. ei käy mulle. bändin vokalisti on malliesimerkki lauluäänestä joka minulle kuulostaa aivan vitun paskalta,, eli ei hyvä ääni mutta ei hyvä paska ääni vaan paska paska ääni. albumin keskiosassa instrumentaatio alkaa olla vähän parempaa, löytyy tasapaino, ssielu, mieli mutta laulun lyllerrykset pilaa senkin...... ja loppuosa on aikalalilla yhtä paskaa.... ajattelin ensin että kaksi tähteä, mutta ei, ei, nämä ovat 1001 albumia jotka on pakko kuunnella, ja jos kultti ei ole täällä tarkoittaa se, että nämä albumit kuuluu olla kaikki parempia,,,, SAATANA!! tänään en armoa anna...

Very noisy and clashy. Bit bangy. Not my fave to be honest.

12/06/2021 Today's Album: "White Blood Cells" by The White Stripes - I don't like this album. Usually I can deal with post punk and older punk rock because of some sweet instrumentals or some redeeming quality from the whiny vocals, but with this album, it really is just blown out and shitty. The only song I liked was one I already knew prior to hearing this album and thats the only highlight on this album in my eyes. I think this band obviously has talent because they have a crazy good reputation, but either this album is some of thier worst material or their sound is just not for me Score: 2/10 Didn't like Highlights: We're Going to be Friends

By the end it was barely listenable. Hated it. I can hear the good intentions and enthusiasm, but they didn't make up for the bad songs, awful and intrusive drumming, grating vocals, overbearing harsh sounding guitar. I appreciate the idea of a 'back to basics' stripped down sound, but get a producer for God's sake.

One of my favorites.
