I got this album today coz my mum (yep) bought it, and didn't like it. She said she expected it to be more original. And I have to agree! Its kak! Those who think this "rocks", have you ever heard The Stooges? Or Johnny Thunders? Or the Pistols? Or the Rolling Stones? Or ANYTHING??!! Gah!

well, it seems to be new trend. grab and old guitar, buy a 4-track, record your songs, release it, present yourself like you would look after you just got up.
i'm not really a fan of all the "the"-bands. (the white stripes, the strokes, the band, the hives, etc.)
the only exception would be the moldy peaches, I totally dig their stuff! :)

ball and biscuit is amazing.
girl, you have no faith in medicine is amazing, too.
and yes...i always compare them to all of those you mentioned, as well. but you hafta admit that it's refreshing when put up against christina aguilera or...god knows what else.

I laugh at the band called "The The". They know how to take the piss.
My friend suggested a "The The" tribute band called "The The The".
I also laughed at that. However I am a simpleton, so I probably would laugh if nothing was funny.
Ha Ha Ha Ha, look my hands have fell off.

"grab and old guitar, buy a 4-track, record your songs, release it, present yourself like you would look after you just got up. "
i wish more people would do that to be honest.
the moldy peaches are dodgy man :) i think most of their stuff is just wank but they have the knack at doing wicked songs like "whos got the crack?" and "NYC is like a graveyard" (even more excellent post sept 11th)
i'd bone kimya dawnson too ;) in a rabbit costume ;)

i think elephant lacks somethign previous stripes albums had.
an energy or something.
i like "de stijl" the most, and "white blood cells" after that.

I don't hate them per-se, but I mean, they keep making the same damn album/songs with some slight gimmicky change. "Oh, for this album we used no digital recording".
And seeing Meg play drums is laughable

their album was on top of some charts for 2003...i don't know any of their songs and have no idea what they sound like...i also don't feel like downloading cos im probably going to get it anyway (except if someone has some great argument why i shouldn't).
i see some of you compared them to the strokes...so im wondering, will i like white stripes if i like the strokes?

White Blood Cells was really interesting... a lot of nice characters brought out by Jack's lyricism... i haven't heard their older albums extensively, but they sounded okay too... but Elephant is an overrated piece of shite... Seven Nation Army is a great song... but they've made the transition from being some form of unadulterated rock-spirit incarnate to just some old rock band flogging a damn dead horse... the vitality disappeared... shit... and Meg White's drumming (along with most of her contributions to the album... such as sucky singing) is laughable...
