I’ve followed Jack White for some time now. I first saw their video for “Fell in love with a girl” when I was fifteen or sixteen. I was so impressed that I bought a ticket to see them at Chene Park right away. They were touring with The Strokes and I realized I needed someone to go with, so I asked every single one of my friends and they pretty much all said the same thing; “I don’t dig that retro shit”. I was the only one I knew who loved their music. Anyways, I found someone to go with me, my Uncle Bob. After watching that show, their music smelled like nostalgia and fall.
Concerning White Blood Cells, Id have to say way to go Jack, way to go. It felt like a hidden gem that you could buy at your local record store. Songs like Dead leaves and the dirty ground, Fell in love with a girl, and were going to be friends were great, although the album had much more than hit songs to offer. Expecting took a sledgehammer and a guitar and made me cringe with excitement. The Union Forever had to be an all time favorite forever. I heard a rumor that they were sued for using the song from Citizen Kane, and never knew if it actually happened. All in all, I don’t think there’s much to say about this album that hasn’t already been said. Their albums follow a formula, and it’s a good formula.
Rule #1
- Have the hit song as the first track
- Have a song that has the word “Little” in it.
- Dedicate the album to someone: Loretta Lynn, Blind Willie Mctell, The Sweetheart
- Have a slow song at the end of the album, usually a blues or completely natural sounding song. Ie:
I’m lonely but I aint that lonely yet
Effect and Cause
It’s true that we love one another
This Protector
Your Southern Can is mine
