I loved some Elephant songs (Girl, you have no faith in medicine, The hardest button to button, Little acorns), very playable, some pure, rough rock power. This album is very different, sounds a little bit too retro for me, but Jack White definietly has got a big talent for writing catchy melodies plus interesting arrangements. Blue orchid, and My dorbell, Red rain are my favs, but I didn`t get much into it yet.

i don't know what are these songs going to sound like..there's more instruments used on this one..i sort of hope it's going to be harsher stuff as i like to hear that live..some of that raw rock and roll!! i just love the power of it..and jack is real energetic on stage which just adds to the atmosphere..one of my most expected bands to see live!

the mellow ones (from the new album) will probably be slightly re-arranged for the concert.

i'm still skeptical. i'm a big fan, generally, but. i dunno. i appreciate different, and i can appreciate development. but some moments almost seem awkward and just...half-assed. i think i still need to listen to it more. i know it'll grow on me and i'll probably end up loving it, i've just been caught up in my swans fest at the moment. so good.

It has caused me great pyschic upheavel, but i quite dig Blue Orchid. I still think they are a piece of shit fake novelty act and that they would have done anything for stardom, but it's a cool song.

i enjoyed white blood cells, the album after sounded exactly the same, you could even match up the songs, so i got bored and switched off.

the second time i listened to it, i was like "wow this is reeeeeally good. i'm totally enjoying this." since, i've kept myself from listening to it so it sounds fresh in a week or so when i'm in the mood to hear it again. very interesting, it sounds much "older" than their previous work. i'd recommend it, but i think a lot of people won't like it much.

why it seems so easy for some people to do great music? there are so many bands working hard, trying to come up with something brilliant and most of them fail, then jack walks into a studio and records such a fantastic album in less then a month..or was it a week? anyway, it sure must depress the hell out of all the rock music makers :)

i think most people don't want to be another white stripes though, they want to make their own music.
actually, most bands at the moment seem to sound the same, with their punk/pre-punk rejuvination, with added effects/synths played badly.

yes, that is sort of what i was trying to say. most bands are complicating too much, they should keep it simple..not in stripes style ofcourse, but im sure there's a lot more ways to sound unique, instead of trying to be trendy and do stuff everyone's into..ahh

I loved Blue Orchid but was dissapointed when I heard the album, too many "experimental" tuned percussion tracks which isn't really what you want from the Stripes, the more traditional ones just sounded like they'd rewritten older tracks, one sounded very similar to Hotel Yorba,

I like it, and this sort of thing, is not normally my cup of tea.
I really like Doorbell.
The album reminds me of Cat Stevens in a way...

they're both completely talentless.

haha, are you serious? 'guitarist' is quite possibly one of the most talented people in the music bussiness today! and meg is just playing the way she's supposed to..she's very good at it imo.

It does take some talent to be able to get such a BIG sound from just guitar and drums, obviously there's some multitracking going on but apparantly it sounds just as full live.

i think that saying they're 'possibly one ofthe most talented people in the music business today' is slightly overstepping the mark, but they do create a good sound for just two people - obviously nowhere near as good as chaz'n'dave :D

well, i wasn't saying that about his guitar technique although he's real good at it..but a singer/songwriter, he's got lots of excellent ideas and since it took them that short time to record the new album i think they really know what they're after.
i've heard/seen some live recordings and they sound even better playing live than they do on records, so im really looking forward on seeing them next week!
