MERGED-->New White Stripes Album - "Elephant"

[HelloAngel]

New White Stripes Album - "Elephant"

Elephant has arrived! What do you think of it? Is it a clear step up from the band's previous 3 albums or a step backward?

I'm so excited!!

 

[U2Kitten]

I was hoping you could tell me! I'm thinking of buying it this week. Is it like the first one?

 

[HelloAngel]

Funny enough - I haven't gotten it yet! I will later today, though!

 

[Screaming Flower]

i want it so bad!!

 

[Salome]

all I know is that it's already doing well in the critics lists over here

 

[Salome]

[Screaming Flower]

Well, Rolling Stone gave it 5 stars...Ryan Adams had an advance copy and was going on and on about how wonderiffic it is at his message board.

I WANT IT.

I'm gonna have to wait though...once I get a job, I will buy it.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Yep, RS gave it 5 stars, Q gave it 4, and SPIN gave it an A. My plan is to walk downtown to get it when I get off work at 5. Sonically, I think it's going to be amazing since it was recorded on such old equipment. Anyhoo, I'm pretty stoked!!!

I've heard 7 Nation Army, I really like it. I'm quite interested in checking this album out. I think I may have to go buy it after class!

 

[HelloAngel]

5 more hours until I obnoxiously run through the doors of Borders and become one with my copy of Elephant.

April/Poodle/LarryMullen'sPopAngel says she wants to marry this album.

I haven't gotten it yet.

 

[u2popmofo]

I just bought it. Somehow they already had it at the local used cd shop. I'm on the 3rd track. So far I like these first 3 as much, or more than anything on the last album.

The guy at the cd store had heard it and acted liked he loved it. He had a huge smile on his face when he was telling me abou it.

 

[HelloAngel]

more more more

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm on track #8 - Ball and Biscuit. It's QUITE the rocker.

There were a few slow ones (for the ladies of course). Meg sang one of the songs, Cold, Cold Night. It was quite good.

So far, fantubularistic.

 

[HelloAngel]

 

[u2popmofo]

Ok the last few have been totally rocking, they are: Ball and Biscuit, The Hardest Button to Button, and Little Acorns(I'm listening to this scorcher as we speak).

 

[u2popmofo]

Ok, everything from Ball & Biscuit on is quite rocking, until the last track, Well It's True That We Love One Another, which is absolutely hilarious.

Overall, this album was GREAT on first listen! I didnt even read the lyrics, which always enhances the listening experience, so I have that to still look forward too for added entertainment.

If you dont like this album, I'll kick you in your shins.

Best Buy has it for $9 - I was so going to buy it after work, but I am going to a listening party Wed. night - and have a chance to get it for free

Seven Nation Army - I can't get the damn song out of my head. All day I have been marching and stomping and pounding to the drum beat in my head.

 

[HelloAngel]

To those who are paying attention - I HAVE NOW BOUGHT THIS CD!

Will write more as soon as I can devote time to it.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

I got the last copy at my local indie record store. Haven't had time to listen to the whole thing yet, but so far it kicks ass!!

 

[HelloAngel]

Gawd - reading ya'lls reviews is like to me. I hope I find my headphones soon.....
