I think Get Behind Me Satan was a fucking brilliant album. They seem more inspired than ever. They had to progress in some way, if they went to make a WBC or Elephant II, it would have been a total bore. I'm glad they mixed up the formula a bit, and made one of the best "mainstream" albums in 2005.

Yeah I thought Get Behind Me was a really good move. I liked it a lot. Though I agree with k that The Nurse and Blue Orchid were definitely the best songs. Take Take Take was really good, too.

I got very bored with Blue Orchid. But yeah, The Nurse, Take, Take, Take, and Red Rain where among the best.

I actually got bored with Red Rain because I used it to practice slide guitar so much that I can't listen to it anymore. But it was a great song prior to that; almost mentioned it.

oh i do have to say though that i like that doorbell song.

Yeah, that one is so amzingly chatchy. A great single.

Meg's hot.
Jack is cool.
Jack also has a fuckin fantastic voice.
Nice and simple songs.

And someone I can't seem to get into the white stripes :(

jack does have a nice voice.

i liked the stripes how they were (not attempting to be country). there "garage rock revival" days were much better......

i fuckin love the Stripes! Jack White could shite on a CD, Design a red and white cover. Release it and i would be waiting there for it to come out

Went to see the Racounteurs in Dublin last night... well fuckin cool. Jack was a rockin

I saw them live to, they were awsome. Someone said that they sucked live, but that was pure bullshit. Did they play Bang, Bang when you saw them?

yeah they did, t'was a right good version too. well impressed, they are right good live. its jack white givin it socks, what more do people want.

I can dig them.

I don't care about them.

Although the White Stripes aren't immensely talented they put out great material. It's pretty basic rock but it feels so refreshing compared to the rest of the shit in the pop music scene right now. Jack White is a great guitarist and Meg is a competant drummer. She may not be Keith Moon but she fulfills her duties in the band (and she's cute, too). The White Stripes are by far one of my more favorite mainstream acts. They're pretty much the only mainstream rock band that I listen to because they don't conform to modern musical fads. Just good ol' fashioned hard blues/garage rock. Excellent group.

I honestly think that if they weren't around nobody would have been half-arsed to even think of inventing them.
