THE REVIEW
2000. As the new millennium approaches, the White Stripes, with the now-divorced Jack (vocals, guitar) and Meg White (drums), emerge, a U.S. band opting for a garage rock'n'blues revival. Following the well-received self-titled debut of the previous year, De Stijl is already ready for release.
The best album of the early period showcases pop songs ("You're Pretty Good Looking"), frantic rock pieces ("Hello Operator", "Death Letter", "Let's Build A Home", "Jumble Jumble"), nursery rhymes ("You Southern Can Is Mine"), dreamy melodies ("Sister, Do You Know My Name?", "A Boy's Best Friend"), and much more. All of this without ever losing a smidgen of its charming taste.
Rough and wonderful.

The White Stripes
The White Stripes were an American rock duo from Detroit, Michigan, formed by Jack White (guitar, vocals) and Meg White (drums, vocals). Known for a stripped-down, bass-free setup and a raw garage/blues approach, they rose to mainstream prominence in the early 2000s, with “Seven Nation Army” becoming their signature song.19 Reviews

Jack and Meg White had slept for a quarter of a century and then woke up and started making music.
It’s an album made by two people, that sounds like it was recorded in a garage or basement, and has no right to pack such a punch, a real knockout.
