Review

FINALLY! 1001 Albums! Woohoo! But it ain't over yet, going back to Jack Elliott and Hugh Masekela in the next few days to completely finish stage one of this insane project! But it is finally done!

So Get Behind Me Satan is not the best of The White Stripes albums, but this still means that it is better than 99% of the stuff out there. Here they go for more experimental things, putting a lot of noise in the middle of their tracks while keeping their very organic sound.

This is not to say that they are in any way less melodic, it is full of tracks you can sing along to from Little Ghost to My Doorbell. So in the end even if doesn't live up to White Blood Cells or Elephant it is still something I'll be very happy to add to my ipod.

Track Highlights

1. Little Ghost
2. Blue Orchid

Trivia

From Wikipedia:

The album cover was used in the Gilmore Girls episode "I Get a Sidekick Out of You", with Lane and Zach in Meg and Jack's positions, respectively. It was also used for the 2008 Ozy and Millie calendar as both the front cover and for the month of January with the characters Ozy and Mille replacing Jack and Meg.
