QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that some of the imagery in the interesting lyrics might be disturbing to younger children.
What's the story?
When a CD comes along that bends our ears with unusual instrumentation and peculiar mixes, it can be disconcerting at first. On their fifth album, GET BEHIND ME, SATAN, the White Stripes pay no attention to the rules in a way that makes this collection of odd songs and quirky performances more powerful. The whole project sounds raw, immediate, and unfinished -- as though someone forgot to go back to the studio to do the final mixes and mastering. Raw and self-indulgent, the songs deliver with an immediacy, but also bend your ear with drum tracks louder than the lead vocals, repetitive and occasionally off-key singing, unconventional lyrics, and strangely rambling melodies.
Is it any good?
Positioned snugly between brilliant and weird-for-its-own-sake, GET BEHIND ME, SATAN ends up being well worth the trouble. There's a bit of mildly violent imagery that could be disturbing to younger kids. But the whole CD is an example of what can happen when artists follow their own path and allow themselves to be different.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about why this CD sounds so different from most of the pop music out there, and why it's okay to be different.

Great
A good follow-up to "Elephant." All of the songs are very different - they all experiment with different sounds and styles. Great CD!
