Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The fifth album from the Detroit favourites, Get Behind Me Satan, finds stage siblings Jack and Meg White jerking the reins and steering The White Stripes into virgin territory. Gone is the maximal 70s rock sound that powered Elephant, cuts like "Seven Nation Army", replaced by a new emphasis on piano, acoustic guitar, and on numbers like "My Doorbell" and "Blue Orchid", the creeping – and very welcome - influence of Stax soul, classic R&B and disco. Which isn’t to say the Stripes have left behind their desire for the sort of impulsive, raw garage-rock that defined earlier albums like De Stijl: "Instinct Blues", in particular, will hit you like a shot of old Bourbon. It’s just that by this stage in the Stripes’ career, they’re most interesting when they’re making music that sounds like nothing or no-one else. Listen out, then, for "The Nurse" - a minimal wisp of marimba, piano and seed-shaker interrupted by spasmodic, brutal guitar-drums crashes – or the dainty, Meg-sung "Passive Manipulation", which further muddies the waters of this most complicated of relationships: "Women, listen to your mothers," sings Meg, with an endearing falter, "Don’t just succumb to the wishes of your brothers". All of which adds up to another bemusing, but brilliant family album from the White Stripes. --Louis Pattison Description: This is the fifth album from American blues rock-duo The White Stripes. The album sees Jack and Meg White expanding their palette of sound while sticking to their raw blues influenced indie rock style. The single 'Blue Orchid' is also included. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Best White Stripes AlbumThis is without a doubt the best White Stripes album. Where as elephant recieved much critical acclaim and gave them the success they earned, this album seems to not start where elephant left off. The White Stripes prove with this album that they are not a one trick pony. Instead of making another classic modern guitar album like elephant, they decide to make an album mainly of songs on paino and other random instruments. This album is very experimental but its not experimental for the sake of it, instead its experimental in order to adapt and modify their sound.This album features many great singles such as my doorbell, and some great songs like the nurse and little ghost. It also has songs such as red rain which prove Jack White is the ... Read More: Rating: - Rediscovered RockI recently started listening to this album again after a break of two years and am so glad I did.The tracks still sound as fresh and invigorating as when it was released in 2005,a pivotal year for music. Every one on this album rocks.My favourites include: Blue Orchid, Take Take Take, and My Doorbell.Blues at its best in the 21st Century and a raw,riveting listen.The White Stripes have one of the strongest visual images in rock at the moment,not contrived like some modern bands. And it won't date,believe me. Buy this album if you can and if you like intelligent powerhouse blues/rock songs. Rating: - Simple BrillianceTwo members, neither a rock star or a genius at playing their instrument. However, this album proves once and for all that Jack White is a brilliant songwriter. A lot less simple than the old classics Elephant or White Blood Cells, and feeling more mellow and accessible too. The fact that many songs have been used on adverts or even (to my horror) on Hollyoaks shows just how mainstream their music has become. But ignore that: there are some real White Stripes gems on this album. Some tracks are catchy and bold, using rhythm and repetitive choruses to grab the attention. Some are sinister, with interesting lyrics. But the best bits are the understated and highly poignant tracks 'White Moon' and 'I'm Lonely'. In short, ignore the hype and discover ... Read More: Rating:  - Only for the deafPeople who are hearing-impaired will enjoy this disc, provided they keep it to a very, very low level. Anyone else will be faced with something truly horrible. Tuneless would be a compliment. Rating: - Take,Take,TakeThe 5th album from the white stripes sees them delve into the more acoustic side of things to say the least. If your like me when you first heard Blue Orchid you where neither shocked or surprised by its power and intensity.I personally thought this eratic energy would flow through the whole album, this was not the case, but with this album that wasnt such a bad thing. This album brings new concepts and ideas to the table most noteably 'The Nurse' and 'White Moon'. They dont stand very tall on the album in comparison to the other tracks on the record, but its refreshing to hear a new dimension to Jack's music. The slow acoustic numbers are great most noteably 'As Ugly As I seem' and 'Forever For Her', which echo the 'old days' of De Stijl. ... Read More: |
