Buyer Reviews :
For all of you who've been waiting for the 'new Nirvana' and didn't buy into the 'garage band hype', the White Stripes have released the perfect album at the perfect time. I've liked 'em for a while, but I never put much stock in them, partially because the lo-fi 2 person band seemed too much like a gimmick, and in my blindness, I often couldn't see past that. Well consider this a repentance of sorts. I couldn't think of a better band (or album) to lead the world of rock out of this overproduced melodramatic slump it's been in for so long. Granted, this 'garage band revival' already has and will continue to provide us with loads of flash-in-the-pan style [singers] (see Mooney Suzuki, The Vines, The Music, etc.) but albums like 'Elephant' will make it all worthwhile. Jack and Meg are back, with more vintage gear, organs, vocal harmonies, and *gasp* BASSLINES. But don't worry, they're still as scratchy and raunchy as ever. I would go into detail about each particular song, but all you need to know is that THEY'RE ALL AMAZING. They've managed to pack all of the catchiness, lyrical brilliance, and energy of their previous 3 albums into one rock masterpiece. Jack White's guitar mastery comes out more than ever, without any ham-fisted 300-note solos. Remember how big guitars used to sound in the 70's? Yeah, well they're bigger now. This will undoubtedly go down as one of the top 10 rock albums of the decade. Get it any way you can, you need it.
