Elephant - The White Stripes Reviews

Released in 2003 by the White Stripes, Elephant was the fourth album by the band but their first on a major label. The album has the usual low-fi sensibilities but when I was told it had been recorded in only two weeks by the band in London, I was shocked, Jack White really is one hell of a musician as this album is brilliant and testament to the ...  Read the complete review

Personally, I think this album represents the height of The White Stripes' career and probably the best album that they will ever produce. There was a storyline to go with this as well keeping them in the public eye to promote this along the lines of "are Jack and Meg brother and sister" as well as the phenomenal guitar playing that took ...  Read the complete review

The White Stripes are a great band, for two small people they are absolutely brilliant at making inordinate amounts of noise: This album is an eclectic and absolutely wonderful record. From the thumping Seven Nation Army, which is now a worldwide anthem, the album starts at a storming pace, this is followed by the banging Black Math ...  Read the complete review

Before buying this album, I would recommend listening to one or two of the songs first. Unfortunately, I bought this album and was rather disappointed by it. I was somewhat silly and bought it on the back of one song: Seven Nation Army. Now I still love this track, it really is amazing and it is a track that will do for all sorts of moods, ...  Read the complete review

Artist: The White Stripes Album: Elephant Well this is my first music review and I?ve been inspired to write this by an awesome band, also known as, The White Stripes. The band was created by Jack and Meg White. No one really knows why they both share the same surname. There are three possibilities. A) Meg White ...  Read the complete review

I felt like doing a music review for a change but was at a loss which CD to write about hence it?s taken me a while. After some thought I?ve plumped for the White Stripes ?Elephant? as it?s been permanently glued into my CD player for a while now, OK, I haven?t actually GLUED it in there ? that would just be silly, wouldn?t it?! As with ...  Read the complete review

This band have been hyped up to such a great extent over the last 2 or 3 years that I admit I was swept away by it all and was lulled into purchasing this album, their second, which stood proud at the top of the album charts earlier this year. The band comprises a brother and sister double act called Jack and Meg White, they have risen ...  Read the complete review

This year really is the year for decent follow up albums. Hot on the heals of my op on Blur's Think Tank comes The White Stripes 4th album Elephant. The last album was released in 2001 and so 2 years after everyone suddenly discovered the White Stripes the follow up has now arrived. For anyone out there who doesn’t know about ...  Read the complete review

The release of ?Elephant? for the White Stripes saw another piece in establishing them as one of the biggest bands of today. Although the album managed to pass without mass hysteria, the White Stripes have made their new blues rock sound into one that fits into modern rock. It draws some obvious influences with the classic blues guitarists, and ...  Read the complete review

Elephant is one of those rock albums that will make you to re-discover your lost hope for sounds with meaning. Amazing guitars that they lifting you up. Drums and basses that you really can sense. Opinionated and full of energy voices. Who are White Stripes Meg White: drums and vocals Jack White: vocals, guitar and piano ...  Read the complete review

The latest offering from the Blues-Rock brother/sister, husband/wife (?) (Probably the former) combo is a cool, pared-down, ?raw? record - tender in places (e.g. In the cold, cold night) but throbbing in others (e.g. the awesome Seven Nation Army). Track3, ?There?s no home for you here?, is wide of the mark and ?You?ve got her in your pocket? is ...  Read the complete review

Buy an album without having heard it first? You must be mad. What could possibly persuade me to do that? Read an opinion? Well I could but that never really cuts the mustard does it? Nothing really helps you know whether you are going to enjoy music until you actually hear it. Then I guess I'm lucky to be working with one of those people who ...  Read the complete review

This is possibly the best album i have heard in a long while. Yet it is used the most simplistic recording techniques, not using any equipment dating past 1963. Its unusual, its original, and its absolutely brilliant. A masterpiece. For all you already adoring white stripes fans, go and buy it now! if you're still unsure, have a ...  Read the complete review

The White Stripes are one of those bands that release a couple of albums that no one really buys in the mainstream but they're appreciated in small circles. Then they release an album with singles that get MTV airplay and are actually quite good. So this means that the next album will have everybody aware and the number one spot beckons. ...  Read the complete review

The White Stripes have a cool history, rising from nothing in Detrioit, like the Strokes who burst onto the scene. We all loved White Blood Cells, as it was new, and absolutley amazing. But Elephant is one more giant leap for the world of rock music if not all music. Elephant has all The White Stripes characteristics, bass riffs, guitar riffs ...  Read the complete review

Mojo magazine have described the White Stripes as the most important band on earth today. That's a hard task to live up to. Thankfully, Jack and Meg White don't really care to much about the hype. They care about making they're own style of music. The White Stripes are all about boundaries. From the two-tone clothes they ...  Read the complete review
