Despite their marriage and divorce, the dynamic duo known as The White Stripes has done it again! In London\u2019s Toe Rag Studios in 2002, they worked hard to produce an album full of songs that would define the band forever. Whilst listening to this masterpiece, I was blown away by the immense variety of this incredible work of art.<\/p>\n
In Seven Nation Army<\/em>, Jack White sings about his fear of becoming famous, fully embracing his love of\u00a0garage rock. In Ball and Biscuit<\/em>, however, he takes full advantage of his blues heritage. He uses his knowledge of distortion to his full capabilities in songs such as Black Math, Seven Nation Army, The Hardest Button to Button<\/em> and Little Acorns<\/em>.<\/p>\n His partner Meg White plays a valuable role on the album as well! Meg\u2019s simplistic combinations of snare, bass drum and crash are the backbone to many songs, whilst she also proves to have promising singing abilities – as seen on In the Cold, Cold Night<\/em> and It\u2019s True That We Love One Another<\/em>. All in all, she plays a vital part in the duo.<\/p>\n I would give this five stars, top marks, whatever you want to call it, for an absolutely awesome album full of songs that leave a lasting effect on music, culture and society to this very day. The lyrics on this album are simply ingenious. In Seven Nation Army,<\/em> Jack sings of his worries about his growing popularity, and my favourite lyrics are the opening words of the song:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna fight \u2018em off\/A seven nation army couldn\u2019t hold me back\/ What a great way to start an incredible song that’s full of mind-blowing lyrics, amazing riffs and explosive choruses. As for other songs, on It\u2019s True<\/em>\u00a0That We Love One Another<\/em>, The Stripes plus guest vocalist Holly Golightly sing of the problems between a couple, whilst on The Hardest Button To Button,\u00a0<\/em>Jack sings a garage-rock song about the troubles of having a baby and you even get some life advice in the rock-and-roll anthem\u00a0Little Acorns.<\/em><\/p>\n All in all, I would give this five stars, top marks, whatever you want to call it, for an absolutely awesome album full of songs that leave a lasting effect on music, culture and society to this very day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Despite their marriage and divorce, the dynamic duo known as The White Stripes has done it again!
