Alright, not the best not the worst from the White Stripes
Bold as love is a great song
Jack White makes rock n' roll cooler, smarter, and more fun.
Classic.
To be honest, I only listened to this once. A few great tracks, but would definitely prefer fewer longer tracks. Didn't blow me away, but would give it another listen.
I’m normally not a fan of Jack White as a human being, but this is as good as any of the White Stripes albums I’ve heard.
Great album with a ton of killer tracks. In my collection already.
Awesome!
A wonderful effort who's first half more than makes up for it's lackluster flipside. Every track up to "Aluminum" is solid gold. Everything that follows is filler, but its still decent. 4/5 stars. This album can do no wrong.
Lovely album.
well written rock songs
Dec nr
It's definitely a White Stripes album
I'm not sure this album needed 16 songs, even at only 40 minutes. Still a hell of a ride, though. Best track: We're Going to Be Friends
Great rock album with some songs that really got me hyped. Felt like a FIFA soundtrack
Niceee
Good, solid, bluesy garage rock. No real frills about it. I don't think there's a bad song on here, but they do all kind of blend together after a while. I did listen thru it at least twice. Favorite tracks: "I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman", "Fell In Love With a Girl", "We're Going to be Friends"
After a couple of dips in the water, The White Stripes decided to make a full splash with White Blood Cells and inhabit the whole lake. A perfect blend of blues and pop without having to compromise, Jack and Meg offer us earworms that doesn't cease to fade and will have one humming even the deep cuts. If only this album can actually be in our bodies to help us stay strong...
This isn't my favorite album to listen to as an album. It's definitely an achievement in garage rock sound and history, but it's a bit slow for my taste in rock and I don't think that all the songs are equal in quality. A couple of White Stripes classic songs are on here, but also are some not as interesting ones where Jack White's voice sounds squeaky and annoying. When they hit it, the result is incredible, but there are a lot of meh songs here too.
Every indie movie song is on this album. i don't like the white stripes though.
Some bad drumming... all round ok!
When the White Stripes first appeared in summer 2001, I was initially very keen. However, I quickly found that their songs didn't have staying power - they sound great on first listen, but I don't have a strong urge to revisit. So, this was my first listen to this in nearly 20 years. I haven't really changed my mind - there are some strong singles here, but none that would make my personal playlist, and some of the other songs are one-dimensional. I also particularly dislike his 'proper gentleman' attitude, which I think at the time was mistaken for charmingly retro, but I think in fact is backward chauvanism. Not one I would want to listen to again.
