Ok, this is a band I've known about for fucking years now, but never really bothered listening to any of their stuff. What I heard before just came off as boring, but a friend urged me to listen to Icky Thump and White Blood Cells, and now I fucking love him for it. First off, their discography as a whole is just amazing and probably one of the more diverse discographies I've listened to. And easily one of the best. (It's up there with Pavement, The Birthday Massacre, Sonic Youth, Tegan and Sara, etc...) Most bands like this, you just hear the same sound, a few chords, some OK drums, and so on. While the drums are quite slow, (Meg really isn't a good drummer), it fits the music, and the creativity of Jack White is amazing. This isn't one of those bands where the songs start to run together. Each one has it's own distinct charm to it, and I have yet to really get confused.
Best songs at the moment:
We're Going to be Friends
Walking With a Ghost (Tegan and Sara cover)
My Doorbell
You Don't Know What Love Is
Conquest
I Think I Smell a Rat
Fell in Love With a Girl
