New White Stripes - 'Get Behind Me Satan'
I have to admit, I feel as though I have turned that magical old age where I am behind the times on the latest music. I was listening to Justin Timberlake and Avril Lavigne and thinking I was pretty hip. Then my 17 year old sister called Avril a "poser" and I had that horrible feeling of being old.
So, forgive me if this White Stripes album I am reviewing is passe. It's what I am listening to and enjoying.
Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) takes me right back to high school. I don't know what it is about this track that makes me feel like it is 4:00 on a Friday mid summer.
Take, Take, Take reminds me a bit of the Violent Femmes. I like the processing done to Jack's voice and the repetition of the chorus helps me zone out when assigning bugs or doing an excel spreadsheet. (See, I AM getting old!)
The album as a whole is a bit all over the place. Their last album had a "sound" and this one seems to be stretching across a bunch of different genres, which is great.
I dig the White Stripes. Thanks to my husband for buying me this great album.
