Comments
Basically this is The White Stripes response to all the people who hate minimalistic garage rock.

It's so good. Like, really good. I know that Meg White is a terrible drummer, that's no lie. It's not just about her style, as I actually like the simplicity of that certain style, it's her drumming itself, and just watching her drum is a cringe-inducing nightmare.

But Jack White is a true musician. He's the bassist, the guitarist, the vocalist. He's the talent behind The White Stripes, and although I don't really agree with his opinions on other musicians, such as The Black Keys, he's phenomenal, as per seen and heard on in this Album.

This Album features their biggest hits: "Seven Nation Army", "Hardest Button to Button", and ending in the adorable "Well It's True That We Love One Another", which features Holly Golightly and Meg on the vocals, co-leading with Jack.

It's just a really relaxing and carefree Album, that shows that music doesn't have to be about the complexity and hardcore composing to music. As long as their is a level of passion in it, the music shall be good.
