New White Stripes album, 10 bucks at Target. First song, peppy; the rest, serious. If you like their upbeat music like Seven Nation Army, Hotel Yorba, and things like that, this album is not for you. But if you like the slower songs, One More Cup of Coffee, We’re Going to be Friends, and things like that, this album is for you. Jack has said the album is about “Truth” well it is in a way, lyrically its advanced, musically its advanced (who the hell plays a marimba anymore), and compositionally its advanced, but what it lacks, and why it won’t kick ass on the charts, is that upbeat punkish rock n’ roll that most people enjoy. Since its only $10 at target, its probably something that one could buy and check out, so go get it. I paid $20 on a preorder and got a poster! That brent put a crease in
, oh well.
