New White Stripes Album

Drakon · Jun 8, 2005, 07:29 AM

Have any fans of the white stripes heard the new album "Get Behind Me Satan?" What do you think of it? It's surely a different direction in terms of their music and such. I've got mixed feelings about it. There isn't much guitar playing from Jack as in the previous albums. Because of this I was sorta disappointed, because that was a main reason why I loved them. Bands evolve I guess...

its pretty good. I dont feel that its "Different" from their direction since they were always directed towards innovation.

Anyway I got an advance copy awhile ago, so its old news to me.

Hmmm, I guess you're right. I guess I was looking forward to more of Jack's great guitar playing. He seemed to have traded it for the piano in most songs. Still good with it.

I have heard and seen the White Stripes live, and I was more impressed with their classic blues covers, and not with anything new. Seven Nation Army is my favorite..otherwise they are just the flavor of the week to me.

The new album definitely is different...but it still feels like a ws album to me. De stijl is still my fav, but I think it will take longer to get everything out of this new album, mostly because of its differences.

i still like it... a good album. blue orchid is a great single off it so far

Yes I agree Sandok. Blue Orchid is a great single. The video is great. I need to get a few suits like Jack. They look great

They're all great to me, although I'm torn between the self titled and White Blood Cells.

I think that White blood cells had the strongest good songs, but the most filler.

btw Zardon, how is the new foo fighters album?

mm, its ok, ive only played it once, the acoustic disc 2 set, im not sure about, not sure they are actually that good a band for high quality acoustic material if you know what I mean, well not a full album anyway.

ill give it a thorough listen later.

nuG · Jun 10, 2005, 09:47 PM

well..... i still like the album alot, im not really sure where they re trying to go with their music, i love white blood cells, and they re self titled comes in a close second, although seven nation army is one of top 3 favorite songs from them so elephant has a special place in my heart as well. the album is a little different, but still a solid album none the less.

I just got it so I'll find out if its any good. Foo Fighters are kinda weird in that sometimes I think they're great and other times I can tell they're the bastard child of nirvana.

Well I rate them higher than nirvana, then again for me that isnt hard. No offense to the dead but Kurt Cobain was the most overrated musican ever, he was a crap singer and a crap guitarist. Grohl is pretty cool however, not much of a guitarist either but a great drummer.

let me know what you think of the cd(s).

I agree. His wife is aweful too. She comes over for dinner to my ex girlfriend's house alot.

its kinda a long story but basically my ex's mom was Love's lawyer for a long time but in the middle of a particularly bloody courtcase she had an anuerism and died...so Love comes and has dinner with my ex's family from time to time. I've considered dropping by sometime but their neighborhood creeps my out. I swear like their houses cost over 10 million.
