Adrian Denning.co.ukJack White has apparently been quoted as saying, "If people find out everything about us, then we're finished" - the kind of comment that leads to speculation. What could this everything be? Are The White Stripes really the Milli Vanilli of garage ...more
SplendidElephant isn't one of those albums that'll change your life, or your tastes, or even the face of your music collection -- it's just a strong and consistent collection of powerful rock songs. ...more
JunkmediaSo the news is good. They didn't sell out, they didn't run out of ideas, and they were able to find still more places to yell "Whooo!" Go buy this now. ...more
The GuardianThe duo have refined their sound until it is shatteringly effective. Nevertheless, Elephant sounds suspiciously like the White Stripes' apotheosis. ...more

Pitch Fork MediaChurch's Fried Chicken now sits at the crossroads of Highway 49 and Highway 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi like an unaware, prefabricated neon mausoleum. While you can no longer barter your soul to Beelzebub for guitar-picking prowess, The Man ...more
PitchforkTherein lies the contradiction of The White Stripes. How do you combine the shit-hot with the "twee?" Elephant's shortcomings suggests the enterprise is futile. ...more
Stylus MagazineWhen I see them plastered all over todayâs music magazines as rockâs new saviors, I want to grab the offending articleâs writer, shake him or her like Iâm the only sane guy in an insane world (think12 Monkeys) and yell ...more
Stylus MagazineFrom its opening bars of stop/start low end, to the motivational tape samples, to the aforementioned multi-tracking, Elephant just screams and begs to be viewed as a departure from the Stripes’ well-known approach. The problem is that in between all ...more
