Nope, the White Stripes are not for me. Did not enjoy this album and forced myself to listen all the way.

Was not into this album at all. Could barely get through it. Or just didn't interest me at all.

Very weird

Horrible Album. Atrocious and made me stop listening to music for months simply because of the awful taste it put in my mouth.

I like The White Stripes, I've never been huge on their music but I've had albums of theirs I really appreciate (De Stijl is excellent), this isn't one of them. I think since the first time I heard Blue Orchid (the song that made me discover TWS, mind you) was that it was... cool but never stuck with me, especially as I discovered their other big songs and realized that this was a cool band that was enjoyable, bur every time I tried to return to Blue Orchid it was just nothing. Then I tried going through their albums and when I got to Get Behind Me Satan it just felt different in a way I simply didn't enjoy, not even because they changed it to be more bluesy instead of garage-y (especially because I'd argue I like Jack White's solo material to his WS stuff and that is further into the blues/Americana thing he loves to play), but instead because it feels like they wanna do something bluesier and weirder and it ends up not working at all, jack wants to deploy all his usual writing and singing quirks and they just sound worse than they should; the repetition on My Doorbell or the entire sound to I'm Lonely just feels like things that they are usually good at being made into something extremely unenjoyable. I don't know, it feels like one of those that every time I've given it a chance it never clicks and maybe it's also that I'm not feeling great today, but I doubt I will find much enjoyment in this one whenever I inevitably go back to TWS' discography, and perhaps I will have more concrete criticisms of the other songs, but as it stands, this one ain't it Jack and Meg

Ugh! Did not like any of it

Way back in the beginning of this list I got a White Stripes album and generously assumed it was a matter of personal taste that I didn’t appreciate. But now a couple of 100 albums in and there are many legendary albums and artists I’ve yet to see and along comes a 2nd White Stripes album and I can’t help but feeling punked. This is crap. They don’t write songs they write sentences and repeat them for 3 minutes. Complete bollocks.

- little ghost made me suicidal - Dear lord I can’t stand this guy’s voice - I just want this to be over - This literally can’t get any worse - The last song was quite nice actually

Incredibly boring. Nothing good to say about it.

2/4 albums have had Jack whites terrible voice.

Fav: White Moon Least Fav: As Ugly As I Seem

Favorite: Blue Orchid?? Least Favorite: All of Them

Boooooooooo

3.25 rym la gente che canta in falsetto mi urta..... no odio questa roba

Har ingen aning om varför detta är ett album man måste göra innan man dör? Hade inget att komma med tycker ja Bästa låt: Nurse

I don’t listen to the White Stripes.

Really bad. Some white stripes is ok, but this album didn’t have a single song on it that I liked. Really not sure why it’s on this list

bah white stripes

This was some boring ass thing

Unfortunately, this album just doesn't do it for me. Majority of these tracks feel unfinished and super empty. Regardless of Jack's vocal style, it's a little too whiny for me in this record. Not much drumming going on too :o Favourite tracks: Blue Orchid

It just felt a little whiny, and the whole thing didn't feel consistent. some cute tracks, but nothing I'd ever seek out again, or probably remember.

I’ve never cared for the White Stripes aside from a few songs. Listening to this album changed nothing

I'm not listening as i know i dont like the WS Not in the spirit of this think I know but I dont have the time for R O C K

this is unarguably the worst white stripes album why have the authors of this book done this to us? it's fine. it's got a couple singles that were fine to hear in a 00s alt rock shuffled playlist, but they are scattered throughout a desert of jack white being unproductively weird. a horrendous full-album listening experience.

Interesting sound…some songs decent, some not so much. Not a fan of the vocals.

Ik was een beetje vergeten dat dit duo bestond. Ik heb Jack White live zien spelen, hij was de gitarist bij een show van Paul McCartney, zo’n 15 jaar geleden gok ik. Ik mocht voor de railing staan, ongeveer naast het vuurwerkkanon (dat bij live and let die min of meer ontplofte). Een 9-jarig jochie als ik stond door alles aardig versteld, ook door de riffs en solo’s van Jack White. Een gitaarheld was en is het zeker. Dit album is door broer en zus samengesteld en gespeeld. Dat is toch wel benoemenswaardig, een duo dat zo’n geluid kan maken zie je niet heel veel. Ik denk meteen aan the Black Keys en Death From Above 1979. Maar nu komt de mindfuck: het schijnt dus de twee gewoon een stel geweest zijn. Mijn leven is een leugen geweest. Het album zit vol bluesrock, met hier en daar wat country en folk invloeden. Ik word er niet heel heet van. Al is het slidegitaartje bij Red Rain wel lekker. De jammerstem van Jack gaat na 6 nummers tochh een beetje irriteren. Highlights: Take, Take, Take, Red Rain. Rating: 6

Horrible. Creepy.

Have you ever worked with someone talented who was then promoted and turned out to be a disaster at managing things? That is how I feel about Jack White. Probably a talented musician but should be under a grown up’s direction. This album feels like a bunch of half formed ideas from a jam session rather than thoughtful finished songs. I started listening in a relatively good mood and by the time it ended I was fairly annoyed.

It's not that its bad, just that it's nothing. They had the crazy idea to make stripped back blues based rock music with some fuzzy distorted guitars and emphasis on big riffs, for some reason this is very exciting to a large number of people and they're treated as important artists. They'd be a fun local band to see live doing throw-back rock, but 7 Nation Army catching on as a stadium rock anthem elevated them way out of their league. I guess being one of the last big bands standing holding a guitar and being very deferential towards rock tradition has meant they're carrying the torch for rock dudes. But they're scrapping the bottom of that barrel and coming up with pretty minimal ideas.

Don't see the allure

Stopped listening half way through 4th track. Every song is completely ruined by cymbal crashing, it's just awful. My ears hurt.

I wonder why this album is even on this list. I just cannot bring myself to enjoy this at all and my ears had a visceral reaction while listening. The vocalist is not in tune in some points(which can work but not how he does it) and his tone just makes my ears uncomfortable. The tunes stick in your head but you get a headache as a result. I hate speaking negatively on any type of music but this album truly dissapointed me and was very hard to even try listen to without wanting to rip out my ears.

Thought it was mid tbh , nothing rememberable at all , I can’t even say they’re like extremely bad but it’s all just the same amount of rock shite tossed together. Id give it a 2 or 3/10

Opening song was okay, rest was dogsh*t

I can't get into this band's music

Not for me.

Etwa gewollt für mich

White solo kan ik goed hebben, maar dit is grandioos geneuzel met een incapabele drummer. Blegh.

This is one of those albums I bought because of one song and instantly regretted because even the album version of that song was re-edited as pretentious self-indulgent tripe.

Heard before: some How many more White Stripes records do we have to listen to? Why do they annoy me so much? Even their best tracks seem like 1 minute of ideas in a 3 minute song. I get bored halfway through each track. Unsurprisingly, I'm basic; just give me the short, hooky songs, and do your shtick in the corner please. Top tracks: My Doorbell, Blue Orchid, Little Ghost

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

1/5. I don’t even like a single song on this album. The hits are boring and everything else seems so filler. Hard to even put on again, feels like I’m wasting my time.
