  The White Stripes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Stripes are a minimalist rock/blues duo from Detroit, composed of Jack White on guitar and lead vocals, and Meg White on drums.
The release of Elephant continued a formula for White Stripes albums begun with White Blood Cells: the first song is a single, the sleeve contains odd photographs of the band members (dominated by red, fl and white) together with a strange essay contributed by Jack, and the last song is moderately tongue-in-cheek.
The White Stripes is one of the few bands to perform on the show (on an earlier show, the group Tenacious D had performed a song after their interview).

Elephant, along with all the other White Stripes albums and wonderful, ingenious, new, and very different from all those other, 10 cents a dozen rock groups that are out now.
And on "Ball and Biscuit", the album-stretching stomper of the White Stripes' fourth album, White moans, "Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar." It's all too plainly clear what he means.
The problem is that Jack White aims to honor his diverse heroes with too limited a palette; it's like paying tribute to Edward Hopper, Ansel Adams, Robert Colescott, and Georgia O'Keeffe in mural with a foot-pump-operated Wagner Power Painter and buckets of red and white.

Meg White's kit is bashed with such force you'd imagine her as some kind of incredible hulk, though in photos, she appears the prototypical indie girl-- waifish, with pigtails and a nasty smirk.
Here, the White Stripes are the most experimental they get, which is to say "not very," though the song reminds me of the ragged power of Royal Trux without the pointless artiness.
White Blood Cells doesn't veer far from the formula of past White Stripes records; all are tense, sparse and jagged.

The early albums were made with cheap gear on small budgets for Sympathy for the Record Industry, a respected indie label, and drew their inspiration from the blues, the most American of pop forms.
White is a classicist as talented as Page, but Meg White isn’t his equal as a musician, and she doesn’t contribute songs.
White may be a walking American songbook, able to mimic Ralph Stanley and Burt Bacharach, but he comes up short as a producer, and the album sounds muddy and obscured, as if recorded in a room covered with wet felt.

 White Stripes: Get Behind Me Satan (2005): Reviews
One of the most fascinating things about the Stripes' fifth album is that on first listening it is likely to baffle fans of the Detroit duo as much as it will eventually delight them.
White's commercial success has nothing to do with de Stijl or da blooze--just a strong, emotive voice delivering simple yet distinctive songs, which are fairly numerous here.
A very strange album, which shreds the old White Stripes rulebook (no bass, just guitar and drums) and pushes into territories way beyond the blues and rock of their previous four records.

 White Lies - Are the White Stripes a blues band or just a sham? By Mark Jenkins
The centerpiece of the White Stripes' new album, Elephant, is the seven-minute "Ball and Biscuit," a grinding, gleefully suggestive blues.
The Stripes' blues-based strut is wholehearted showmanship, not petty sham.
But the White Stripes know that a big enough lie is indistinguishable from legend, and that a large enough boast is a form of poetry.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : The White Stripes
The White Stipes wear red and white (and fl) matching clothing and have a burning desire for recognition and fame quite unlike the scene from which they were brought.
The White Stripes plough familiar territory as far as melodies and writing are concerned, but the sound is SO raw, they manage to be slightly (not greatly) different in any case.
Jack White is pictured holding a cricket bat on the front cover, and the closing song is a little hokey and jokey - including a guest vocalist, along with Jack and Meg - trading lines, and having fun with the already growing White Stripes history and story.

Each album, from the White Stripes to De Stijl to White Blood Cells, has shown their evolution from Blind Willie McTell cover band with a pop sensibility to full-fledged, honest-to-goodness rock 'n' roll gods, a status finally reached on their latest disc.

Fourth album from Detroit duo The White Stripes and the follow up to their critically acclaimed and commercially successful LP 'White Blood Cells', which was released in 2001.
After hearing a couple of tracks from this album on the radio (unlike the majority of the public, I did as Jack wanted and refrained from downloading the previews) I was expecting a very different album to the previous 3, I was expecting something along the lines of Radiohead or Muse.
If that first album was balls out rock, the second was proper blues and the third was more indie inclined, then Elephant is a mix of the three, and is perhaps the best yet.

The White Stripes’ Jack White is ready for a break as he slips behind the wheel of his vintage four-seat Thunderbird and switches on the ignition.
White’s outside work with Loretta Lynn and Brendan Benson has led to speculation that “Satan” will be the final White Stripes album, but there is something about the partnership with Meg that White seems to prize too much to let go.
The album was a critical smash and the White Stripes soon found themselves, along with the Strokes and the Hives, at the forefront of the new wave of rock and roll bands poised to take over the world.

The White Stripes, as stated earlier, is a very raw, bare-bones album, with no fringe to the songs at all.
The album goes on longer than it really should, 17 tracks in around 43 minutes, and it just becomes a chore to listen to the album as a whole.
Jack produces all of his albums some in small studios with not much equipment to this day, he's not about to jump into the pop scene or for that matter stray away from it and try to go dark or something wierd.

The cover of White Blood Cells depicts a horde of fl-clad attackers surrounding the two band members; open the CD case, and a second picture reveals the thugs to be paparazzi with cameras.
But at the White Stripes' most recent show in Detroit, the last of three consecutive sold- out performances in the area, the pleasure the crowd took at the two local kids' success was palpable.

 The White Stripes Album Reviews
If anything this album was even more hyped than the last one, with a slew of cover stories, "best band in the world" articles, and rave reviews across the board from critics.
Jack White's performances on the Cold Mountain soundtrack and his collaboration with country songstress Loretta Lynn on her Van Lear Rose album (which he produced) obviously influenced The White Stripes' fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan, which is by far the band's most diverse and least "garage" offering to date.
Fact is, despite offering consistently impressive proof that The White Stripes are no longer the one trick pony that they started out as, the album nevertheless lacks the excitement of the band's harder hitting recent work.

Detroit-based guitar and drums duo The White Stripes proves the old design adage "less is more" by making huge, powerful, eclectic rock music with a minimum of instrumentation.
What's most impressive about the The White Stripes is how much they can do with so little: taking an aggressive garage rock style as their starting point, they add in some traditional blues, punk-inflected soul, some pounding arena rock.
Album Number Three, White Blood Cells, arrived in the middle of 2001.

A lot of White Stripes fans are going to be hugely puzzled by this follow up to the planet shagging success story that was Elephant.
And secondly, this is the Stripes' most diverse album yet - they've dropped the garage sound and embraced bluegrass, country music and even disco.
Far more typical of the album is the wonderful disco-influenced My Doorbell, with its juddery piano riff and percussion and Jack half-rapping in a style reminiscent of Beck.

Jokingly referred to as the White Stripes' British album, Elephant is scattered with cultural references that give away the fact it was recorded far from home.
Despite how similar Elephant is to the rest of the White Stripes catalogue (in a couple instances songs even partially use the exact same chords and melodies as songs from White Blood Cells), it does show continued musical maturation and experimentation.
The White Stripes effectively explore all the far corners of rock and roll, and the end result is magnificent.
