Paranoid Android Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 so what is everyone's thoughts on the latest effort from the white stripes. I've only had time to listen to it once so far, but i was a little dissapointed, not many instantly enjoyable songs, but it may grow on me. Still I dont expect it to come close to topping de stijl.

I like the fact they have been a bit more experimental this time but a couple of the tracks just sounded made up on the spot and were pretty dreadful. Most of it sounded alright though.

Birdman Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Its quite a slow moving album compared to the others they've released. I'm not a big fan of this new album but I like the songs with glockenspiel parts and guitar overdubs.I'm sure it'll grow on me someway or another.(Not Birdman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I wasn't convinced when I first listened to it, but I wandered around on with it on repeat for a few hours and I really like it now. It's a strange mix of songs that would fit in with De Stijl and some that seem left over from Elepant. It isn't going to be as successful comercially as Elephant, but I'm willing to guess the majority of people bought the album on the strength of Seven Nation Army anyway. Denial Twist, Take Take Take, Red Rain and The Nurse are all brilliant. Passive Manipulation is pretty pointless and Meg's voice sounds a bit ropey. Jack's voice has gone back to that yelp that he had in previous records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 the white stripes are brilliant, de stijl is completely fantabulous, one of the very best bands of recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Jack White plays his guitar sooo well, have you read interviews or anything, he plays with $100 guitars sometimes but makes it sound good cos he plays it so well. Good Band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 after a few more listens, it has grown on me and i really like it, but there are stil la couple of tracks i find a bit weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I've only given it two listens' date=' but i think it may well be their strongest album yet. Dunno what they were thinking releasing "Blue Orchid" as a single, though. It's one of the weaker tracks.[/quote']Thats the best song I've ever heard from them...

Metarie Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I quite like Blue Orchid, but it just doesn't fit with the rest of the album at all. It's like listening to Blue Orchid and then the real album starts with The Nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I like blue orchid, i don't think it's that out of place to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
