The largest elephant ever

The White Stripes are - you can not say anything else - awesome. Mix your own sound from ingredients that are already known, not only in music but also in appearance have their own concept. They are only two. And write songs that groove as hell. Summary: They are a nice change to all the other "The bands".
That "Seven Nation Army" was selected at several locations for Song of the Year, is just a proof that the Stripes have it easy on it. 13 more are located on this plate. There is for example the Burt Bacharach Cover "I Just Do not Know What To Do With Myself". Or the 7-minute "Ball And Biscuit" which is boring by alternating between loud and soft never. Or sung by Meg White catchy "In The Cold, Cold Night". Or just horny "The Air Near My Fingers". And do not forget: the beautiful closing track "Well It's True That We Love Another".
As it degenerates almost a minor matter that has come with "There's No Home For You Here" a rather brazen "Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground" clone on the plate. And if with "You've Got Her In Your Pocket" already the third antanzt quiet track, one wonders briefly, where actually the whole Bratz guitars out.
"Elephant" is certainly one of the best records of 2003, and who the singles already found good, the album is hereby highly recommended.
Highlights: Seven Nation Army; I Just Do not Know What To Do With Myself; In The Cold, Cold Night; Ball And Biscuit; The Air Near My Fingers
