I'll start with the warning that the White Stripes are one of my favorite bands so I may be a bit biased. With that being said this record is amazing!!! After changing things up with the previous album, Get Behind Me Satan, they have returned to the crunching guitars and insane riffs that made me love them in the first place. Even with a return to the old sound, the record sounds fresh, new, and, to my surprise, even comedic, as heard in the hilarious "Rag & Bone" where the pair go searching for garage sales and free junk. A must-have for any fan and a nice intro for those unfamiliar with the pair.
