Music reviews of The White Stripes

Music Review: I've got a little feeling going now
Rating: 5 Stars

Before I go any further, I'll just put out there that the White Stripes are hands down my favorite band, so this may be a bit biased. However this is one of the most severely overlooked albums of the last decade. I can't say how many people I've met who love the stripes that haven't heard a single song off of this album. If they only knew what they were missing.

Out of the 6 full length albums they've released so far, this may not be their best, but it's the best representation of who the Stripes really are as a band. Raw, unfiltered, and more talented than they appear to realize. A lot of people rip on Jack White because he doesn't shred on guitar, or the songs have too basic of a structure, but there's more to music than how complicated it is. Jack White's songwriting ability is so far beyond anyone elses in this music scene it's scary, and what makes it work is his ability to make more out of less. He can create so much drama out of just a few earth-shaking chords. Just listen to "The Big Three Killed my Baby" to hear it.

This is definitely the Stripes most rudimentary album. The production is ridiculously grainy. It was recorded in a warehouse and you can tell. There's many points throughout that you can hear Meg's drums rattling from the sheer volume on Jack's guitar. There are a few points where there's too much or too little distortion, and yet it all comes together very well. The feeling you get from listening to this album is so rare. Songs like Screwdriver still raise hairs on the back of my neck.

The White Stripes are definitely one of those bands you either love or hate. There isn't a lot of in between. There isn't anything on here that will change your mind if you haven't liked any of the other stuff they've put out, but if you like the stripes at all, you need to get this album.
