Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Their self-titled debut, The White Stripes, is probably the rawest album to date from Meg and Jack. With their own stomping version of blues classic "Stop Breakin' Down" (Robert Johnson), the passionate railings of "The Big 3 Killed My Baby" and the sudden blues breakdown of "When I Hear My Name", this is the Stripes in their most shambolic, inspired state. Much of the album may be Jack launching full tilt into Robert Plant "whooping" mode (see "Jimmy the Exploder" in particular), but there are also a couple of slow, dark ballads such as Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee" and the eerie tale of "St James Infirmary". Culminating in one of their most popular songs, the childlike "Little People" ("There's a little girl with the red shoes on/hello!") The White Stripes is yet further evidence that if you want to take rock music forward you really don't need to spend your time fiddling with samples or drum machines. --Caroline Butler Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Garage rock!The reason I like the white stripes so much is because it's so raw and emotional. I love the way jack sings and I love the way meg drums. "The Big Three Killed My Baby" is the best track on the album and "Broken bricks" is amazing too. and, btw, the songs on this album isn't like "Seven nation army", you may have to listen to them a couple of times before you're really starting to like them. Rating: - One of the finest records ever releasedAs with some other great bands such as Nirvana, the first recorded work actually proves to be the best once all the hype has died away. Raw and beautiful, each track an individual masterpiece. There are other great White Stripes records, but no other perfect White Stripes records. This is the masterpiece. Rating:  - The Platform To True Brilliancehe White Stripes are a band that I listen to in amazement every time I put one of their albums in my CD player. I also hardly ever sing along to their music because I want to listen so intensely to everything that's going on in each song. The drums and guitar are the principal instruments of the Stripes' music and represent a back-to-basics approach to how rock music *was* made 30 years ago and, supposedly, how it should *still* be being made. Their self-titled 1999 debut album was released without much fanfare and passed by without selling anything. When the band broke through to international attention with 2001's "White Blood Cells," this debut album was re-issued, re-packaged, and re-released and sold thousands. As far as raw ...

If thats true it is safe to say each album has degressed in quality. Part of the evidence for my theory is like Elephant this mixes the bluesy side of the band and the 'other' side of the band. However, the 'other' side of Elephant was no longer wild, whacky and brilliant but fairly commercial to be honest. Whereas theres no sense of 'selling out' here, its totally wild and brilliant. so what if meg cant drum, Jack more than makes up for it!!! BUY BUY BUY Rating: - Please DONT get a Bass player!!!!!!!!!!!!The White Stripes truly continue to inform the world of rock, soul and music in general the way they only know how to- with a guitar and a drum kit. However, this first album is an absolute revalation and already a classic. The songs are fresh and diverse and most people can feel an affinity with it. The rhythms are simple and the monotony is what makes the White Stripes so complex. This is by far the best White Stripes album in terms of fressness, vibe and excitement. The lyrics are profound and dont play second to the catchy rhythms. Highlights Jimmy the Exploder: My favourite song on the album. And what do you know, written by Meg White- she needs to write more songs if this is what she comes up with. Read More: |
