 Album Reviews
This album helped Radiohead gain their status as one of the best and most innovative alternative rock bands of the '90s.
Overall, this album may not be the easiest one to get into at the beginning, but once you've heard it a few times it grows on you quite a bit.
This album has twelve great cuts, but the only problem is it feels the same on shuffle.

De Stijl is the fifth White Stripes album I've bought in recent months and I'm embarassed to think that it has been floating around since 2001 without me owning a copy - it is a great album.
The album opens with the catchy "You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl)." The song isn't even two minutes long, but the chorus is so memorable that it will stick in your mind as one of the album's signature sounds.
When I first got this album I wasn't sure, the cover is not what you'd expect and the songs don't really sound very good on the first listen unlike the songs on the White Blood cells, but unlike that album which starts to wear thin very soon this one really grows on you.

Painter Theo van Doesburg (Dutch, 1883-1931) published a journal named De Stijl from 1917 to 1928, spreading the theories of the group, which also included the painter George Vantongerloo (Belgian, 1886-1965) and the architects J.J.P. Oud (Dutch, 1890-1963) and Gerrit Rietveld (Dutch, 1888-1965).
In many of the works under this movement, the vertical and the horizontal lines tend to slide past each other and do not intersect- for example some of Mondriaan's paintings, Rietveld's Schröder House and the Red and blue chair.
The work of De Stijl exerted tremendous influence on the Bauhaus and the International style as well as clothing and interior design.

The Stripes are a viscerally charged blues juggernaut, with Meg bashing away at the simplest of drum kits in the back and Jack slashing away at his guitar with mesmerizing ferocity.
In addition to the material from their first two albums and a handful of progressively cooler singles, the Stripes will be unveiling a number of new songs destined for their forthcoming White Blood Cells album.
Rumored to be the subject of a bidding war between major labels, the White Stripes may continue in the fashion of the art style that adorns their last album, or they may decide to pump up the production and turn their backs on simplicity.

This is my favorite White Stripes album, (I say that owning all of them but the self-titled.) it's truly a noisy rock and roll masterpiece.
I havn't liked any of their albums before or after Elephant and even that wasn't as great as most people think it was.

After their fantastic self-titled debut, the band's second album De Stijl (which means "The Style" in Dutch) was released in 2000.
I decided to buy De Stijl based upon sound clips I heard of two of the tracks, "Apple Blossom" and "I'm Bound To Pack It Up." Although one of these tracks is still my favorite from the CD, most of the songs on here are outstanding.
Sure, De Stijl has its (minor) faults, but it is still a damn good album.

 White Lies - Are the White Stripes a blues band or just a sham? By Mark Jenkins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The centerpiece of the White Stripes' new album, Elephant, is the seven-minute "Ball and Biscuit," a grinding, gleefully suggestive blues.
The new album was recorded at a London eight-track studio with no equipment built after 1963, and in recent interviews, frontman Jack White has dismissed the idea of musical progress altogether.
After all, this is a back-to-basics act that named its second album De Stijl, after a 1920s Dutch art movement whose minimalist palette apparently influenced the band's barber-pole attire (principally white and red, with fl touches).

Truthfully, Lucy Ford is probably Atmosphere's least ambitious album; it may have even been an afterthought to throw the Lucy and Ford EPs together into an album, but it is an album that features some of Slug's most intriguing lyrics and it is easily the most fun-loving out of their altogether impressive discography.
By far the Dandy Warhols' most diverse album, this record distilled the druggy drone-rock of their previous offerings into a more catchy, pop-driven shell and threw in some varying influences (gospel and country) for good measure.
Pavement's first album is also their least accessible and their most cryptic, but even lo-fi production and bizaare subject matter can't obscure brilliant pop sensibility and talented songwriting.

With DE STIJL, the band eschews its earlier raw posings in favor of blues with a hint of art rock.
DE STIJL (literally translated, "the style," a European art movement that praises the virtue of simplicity in design), hints at a band that plays its music guided by simplicity in form and function.

In De Stijl the Stripes arrive with thunder in the arena.
Somebody else said Jack sounds like some kind of Robert Plant novice on De Stijl (I agree), but when he gets to the next album (Cells) he becomes what Curt Cobain should have done eventually with Nirvanna or what Mick could have been if he had taken Jumpin' Jack Flash to the limit.
The album does start to slow down a little during the middle, but just then it comes back to life with hard-rocking numbers like "Let's Build a Home" and "Jumble, Jumble." Music made by two people, sounding like it was recorded in a garage, has no right to pack this much of a punch.

 White Noise - The Daily Californian
On the band's 2000 album De Stijl, for example, the song "Apple Blossom" comes across as a charming chamber piano pop song that gives a refreshing respite from the guitar rockers that make up the remainder of the album.
As the Stripes' career has surged forward, their album art has only grown more loopy and stylish, and the all-out red-and-white light show extravaganza that provided a visual backdrop to their noodlings reflected this perfectly.
The White Stripes truly deserve their popularity, and the fact that a band with their style and image have become such a concert draw is both refreshing and impressive.

Anyway, what I was trying to say is that their first three records are all fairly the same, with only a few good, catchy songs and a bunch of boring filler.
It's their second album, and I really don't know how you can say it's the same as White Blood Cells, where every song is "poppier," not such a heavy blues influence.
It's the only song I've heard off of this album, but it shows so much promise, and I love the bluesy sliding in the chorus.

This album is more thematically coherent than the group’s previous three and has more of a sense of purpose.
In general, these songs flow from the more melodious second album, De Stijl, than their scratchy and wonderfully abrasive self-titled debut.
Elephant’s first track, “Seven Nation Army,” recalls the same Zeppelin-esque slide guitar of De Stijl’s “Little Wing,” with an overall tone that is both smooth and loudly insistent.

The band's striking red-white-and-fl stage outfits were inspired by Jack's song Jimmy The Exploder, about a monkey that blew up things that weren't coloured red, while another White Stripes legend came along in his el cheapo Montogmery Ward Airline guitar that accompanies him on tour.
