I’m waiting for it to be released properly before I listen to any of it, but man, these dudes at the Times are creating some amazing hype. I hope it’s half as good as what they say.
On June 7, the White Stripes return with a thrilling new album, “Get Behind Me Satan” (Third Man/V2/BMG), that goes a long way toward dismantling the band’s goofy mythology. It’s an album so strong and so unexpected that it may change the way people hear all its predecessors. And that’s just a start. Listen long enough, and this album might change the way you hear lots of other bands, too. (full review)
