(You probabaly already know, but if not) a good reason to add The White Stripes to your vinyl collection is Jack White's obsession with analog mixes. As a result, his output sounds far better than anything digital. Well worth it.

In the same vein, I would highly recommend listening to Stadium Arcadium by Red Hot Chili Peppers as John Frusciante is very much the same in that respect.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this title.

The White Stripes Review by Chris Handyside

Minimal to the point of sounding monumental, this Detroit guitar-drums-voice duo makes the most of its aesthetic choices and the spaces between riffage and the big beat. In fact, the White Stripes sound like arena rock as hand-crafted in the attic. Singer/guitarist Jack White's voice is a singular, evocative combination of punk, metal, blues, and backwoods while his guitar work is grand and banging with just enough lyrical touches of slide and subtle solo work to let you know he means to use the metal-blues riff collisions just so. Drummer Meg White balances out the fretwork and the fretting with methodical, spare, and booming cymbal, bass drum, and snare cracks. In a word, economy (and that goes for both of the players). The Whites' choice of covers is inspired, too. J. White's voice is equally suited to the task of tackling both the desperation of Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin' Down" and the loneliness of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee." Neither are equal to the originals, but they take a distinctive, haunting spin around the turntable nevertheless. All D.I.Y. punk-country-blues-metal singer/songwriting duos should sound this good.

    This band single handedly resuscitated my love of music following the utter degradation of the commercialisation of punk and hardcore that Nirvana brought about.

    Long live the stripes and may Cobain's memory turn to sht

      Wut?

      “the utter degradation of the commercialisation of punk and hardcore that Green Day & Parkway Drive brought about.”

      Fixed it for you, next you’ll be saying the Ramones were real punk🙄.

      • 0jay on 07/10/2024 - 13:20

        green day et al are the fruits of your mate cobain's moves to enrich himself

        you've honestly no clue what i might think about the ramones and the concept of a 'real' punk is as gauche and odious as the idea an outfit like green day are even worthy of discussion

        • Antsey on 07/10/2024 - 13:42

          OK.

        • scooba on 07/10/2024 - 14:16

          Yeah sure, we could put Nirvana and Green Day in the same category as they're both pop, I doubt Green Day spawned thanks to Nirvana though, more like english punk thanks to Billie Joe's fake english accent vocals.

          Hey ho, lets go, hey ho, lets go……🙄.
          If we're going to discuss "punk" D.R.I, Circle Jerks, and Fear should be included, not to mention Die Kreuzen who Nirvana ripped off.

          Also, you can drop the sMelbourne uni english lit speak, it's really unbecoming of you lol.

    De Stijl is the same price from the same seller too. I just got both haha.

  • audumla on 07/10/2024 - 13:09

    Got them both! Cheers

    I spoke to someone a couple of months back who bought some records from Rarewaves and they said that every record turned up damaged thanks to them being poorly packaged.

    Anyone else actually had anything delivered from this seller and can confirm their legitimacy?

      I mean 98.2% over 1.2 million sales is pretty damn good
