The next time someone tells you there's no good new music coming out, tell them about the new White Stripes' album, "Get Behind Me Satan." Unlike U2 or Green Day, this album isn't likely to spawn multiple hits you'll hear all over the radio over the summer months.
But if you're looking for something that's truly groundbreaking, different, and unlike their previous albums, "Satan" moves away from the White Stripes‘ signature guitar/drum sound. There's hints of Zeppelin and the Stones, but songs that are always inventive and distant from what's on the radio. There's true risk-taking here, which is so unusual.
My son dragged me to two successive Whites Stripes shows back on Thanksgiving weekend in '03. Each concert differed radically from the other, Jack White mixed songs up, did some covers, and always kept the audience off-balance. These were two of the best concerts I've been to because whatever you might have thought about Jack and Meg White walking into the shows, you came out with a refreshing and different feeling.
Whether tracks from "Satan" end up on your station – or the radio at all – over the next weeks and months, spend some time with this CD because there truly is good new music coming out these days.
