Get Behind Me Satan

The "Seven Nation Army" band now includes marimbas and acoustic tracks now? They've treaded new ground but it sounds just like their other material.

Favorite track(s):

Three strikes (technically four for Jack) and they're out. The usual obnoxious sound of the band is made intolerable by an influx of millennial piano and mushy pitch percussion. The only white stripe I respect is the sideline that these two should stand on while the game goes on.

Är det verkligen samma som spelat in Seven nation army!?

A very good White Stripes album. Not the best White Stripes album. They deserve credit for changing things up a lot and trying out new things.

I'd say the songs "Instinct Blues" and "Red Rain" feel a bit out of place here, they are not as inventive as the rest of the material. The rest is brilliant. But it's not a 5-star album, and I don't know if it really deserves a place on this list, as much as I love the band.

Best of the best

I was going to college in Michigan when the White Stripes debuted. Despite seeing some great Detroit garage rock bands like The Dirtbombs and The Demolition Doll Rods live and loving them, I never got the appeal of The White Stripes. I can understand the appeal of the early albums but this one leaves me cold.

I wish I could like it more but it feels really lukewarm for The White Stripes.

I bought this back when it first came out cause I loved Blue Orchid. I was really disappointed with it, maybe listened to it twice and never again until today.

My opinion on it hasn’t really changed. Love Blue Orchid, might even be my favourite song from them. The rest of the album just doesn’t do it for me.

kind of a fuzzy mess. 2.5

love the white stripes, but get behind me satan is probably my least favorite album of them.

very good album

I don't know man. I think even Satan would be like "I'm good, bro."

Lackluster "garage" band tries to get artsy... and I thought they were pretentious before this! Should have stayed in their lane. This is truly awful. The overuse of marimba should be a criminal offense.

Unsatisfying hipster drivel

I never really liked Seven Nation Army so didn’t explore their work. To say that Jack White’s Blunderbuss album was a pleasant surprise is an understatement and this album has made me realise not listening to them was a big mistake. I really rate the disjointed drum beats, Avant garde instrumentation and mix of genres.

Unfortunately, after Blue Orchid and the Interesting drumwork on The Nurse this album slowly meanders downhill into a state of poppy piano heavy meh. 2.4/5 -> 2/5

I give Jack & Meg credit for experimenting and reinventing their sound after some albums of the same (awesome) riff fests.

Problem is, the result of the experiments is not my cup of tea, I find it mostly boring. While the instrumentation varies more, the songwriting is really monotonous.

Also, it's just so frustrating to listen to a guitar God playing easy piano chord progressions for so many songs.

2/5 - below average

utterly enjoyable coming back to this album. not perfect but nice

Cannot fathom how this made the list

I like the White Stripes a lot, but I wasn't super familiar with this album, other than "My Doorbell". A bit of a mix for me - some songs I added to playlists but also a few skips.
