Free Music Review: What a gut-busting opening album
Hit: 5 Stars
I've read excerpts that say Jack White thinks this album rocks harder than anything they've ever done. I'm not sure what era that came from because "Elephant" really rocks and they've put out a ton of rockin' tracks since this. I can see where he's coming from since all of the Stripes have a definite drive, this one isn't really about variations, it's about being direct all the way through while still stopping, shifting gears and changing the course of the drive, but this one feels like a really strong and fast drive despite the quiet moments. It's so rooted in feel that the album never has a lapsing moment. People who complain about the music being "basic" are correct, but like minimalism they fail to take into consideration the complexities that can be brought to fore with limited options. Other Stripes albums do this in much stronger ways with instrumentation and the influence where the songs come from which brings a bit of detachment (sometimes). Here, the Stripes made the classic imprint of their work and while they haven't challenged it since that only means they've moved on and gotten better which is so uncommon these days. I enjoy all the Stripes records and this one wasn't the first I listened to, but the immediacy and strong consistency in this release make it my favorite. It's not the one I think is their best, but that's for another review. Also, I must address the issue of the obvious influence of Flat Duo Jets on the group. Jack has stated in interviews that he was a big fan, so it makes sense, but it doesn't mean they're plagiarizing them. It's a really ridiculous idea since that group is similarly great at what they do, but it's clearly nothing new(meaning derivative) so to all those out there seeking that argument you should learn to accept music on it's own terms and not on the terms you've set for it. Everyone works off of something else, and who knows maybe the band playing in homage to the legend 20 years after the fact makes an approvement. Just a thought for you on Amazon to contemplate. I'm out.
