Description
Double colored vinyl. One white. One red.
Jokingly referred to as the White Stripes' British album, Elephant is scattered together with cultural references this provide away the fact it was recorded far from home. Just pay attention to the lyrics on "Seven Nation Army" ("From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell") or the album outro, in which someone chips in, "Jolly good, cup of tea?" But while there are new twists here, from Meg White discovering her voice to a tongue-in-cheek threesome together with Holly Golightly, Elephant is no excellent departure for Jack and Meg White. They still push their creativity (and the boundaries of their eight-track) to new heights. Check out the startling, Queen-inspired "There's No Home for You Here," while the deep bass line on "Seven Nation Army" makes it a classic indie dance track. But while some songs fly off into new realms, there's plenty of their trademark straight-up bluesy rock, notably the overtly sexual "Ball and Biscuit." And there's Jack's plaintive, resolutely modest and yet theatrical voice. --Caroline Butler

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 3 of 5  Amazing Guitar Work and Charts; Weak Lyrics   2010-07-16
By James Ellsworth (Caldwell, TX)
I don't know about calling two people a band but these two put out an amazing amount of music. I believe other reviewers that this is one of their best albums and I liked it well enough to later purchased De Stijl. Once in a while they really combine words and music to good effect but they have yet to really hit on both sides of the job to produce something like Bruce Springsteen did on Born to Run, etc.
Customer rating is 1 of 5  The latest fraud...   2010-07-10
By Your Pet Poodle (Twin Cities, MN)
This dog and pony show breathes new life into P.T. Barnum's observation that "there's a sucker born every minute." Would it be too much to ask that they transfer a little coin from their obviously lavish wardrobe budget into music lessons? A metronome, perhaps.

Grade school kids play better than this, but I suppose that's one more reason to love them in the minds of their faithful.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Early 1960s blues-based rock without the innocence   2010-07-06
By Frank Camm (Northern Virginia)
Hard, dark takes on early 1960s music, with direct references to Stones, Pete Townsend, Burt Bacharach (!). This blues-based music is uncomplicated and uncompromising. Instrumentation changes from track to track. Noir music is created by recycling retro music through filters that remove 1960s innocence, thickening and toughening the music, stripping passion to leave a matter-of-fact hard, rough metallic surface. Stand outs: tr 6--I want to be the boy to warm his mother's heart. Quiet, earnest country blues that Pete Townshend could have written. Great slide guitar bridge. Tr 13--Girl, you have no faith in medicine. This head banging garage-rock, punk rave up contrasts a dirt-simple musical setting with a meth-spun vocal.
