airtaco Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Elephant ranks high on my list of most overrated albums of the decade. GBMS was better, but I will ignore this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Elephant ranks high on my list of most overrated albums of the decade. GBMS was better, but I will ignore this one. but see, that's when they slide in their masterpiece, right after the overrated and the ok albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airtaco Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Perhaps. But I only bought those records because of the hyperbolic praise that was bestowed upon them; I'm simply not a fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Elephant ranks high on my list of most overrated albums of the decade. GBMS was better, but I will ignore this one. From De Stijl through Elephant, they were fucking brilliant. With each album they got better and better. I bought each at or shortly after their initial release and was blown away each time. GBMS was a huge let down. Ot may be one of those situations where you might have just had to have been there, and maybe you were and just didn't feel the same way. I remember the first time I heard Elephant and being totally floored by the first three tracks. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, beats that feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I don't understand the GBMS hate. I think it's probably one of their best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 De Stijl > GBMS = Elephant > The White Stripes > White Blood CellsI'm pretty much down with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I don't understand the GBMS hate. I think it's probably one of their best. Because Jack White doesn't spend 100% of the album shredding the guitar. That's probably it. I liked GBMS a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ludwig Von Drake Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I never reall liked WS, and everyone told me I needed to see them live. Fair enough, i tried...i missed a show, but I caught a live performance from a DVD. It was worse. Black Keys, anybody? I know the comparision is tired, but still... Did you try watching Under Blackpool Lights? cos that DVD is terrible - and I love the White Stripes. When I saw them live in Cleveland at the Allen Theater, they knocked my fucking socks off.

bold992003 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The White Stripes will be the band i tell my kids and grandkids about. They are amazing. When you see Jack live you really feel like your in the presence of one of the greats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, he's a big guy, but he's bigger than both of them combined, especially if you take into account Robert Plant's lion's mane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
