Who's with me?!?!?.....














And now for a little cream soda!
Conversations getting dull
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......

    Icky Thump is great, but Get Behind Me Satan is awesome. I remember when that album came out..I was driving solo from Houston to Kansas City for my brothers wedding. i stopped at a Best Buy in Denton, TX on my way to pick up Get Behind Me Satan. I listened to it over & over on my way there... 8-) awesome record.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Funny, I LOVE Icky Thump. But today, I would say Get Behind me Satan is my favorite WS album, though I did not care for it so much when it came out...Elephant is a great album as well though, and De Stijl...and White Blood Cells...and.....White Stripes..................

    Blue Orchid is such an addicting song! Red Rain blew my socks off when I first heard it too. Get Behind Me Satan is a great record...but I haven't listened to Icky Thump too much.. :?

    Icky thump is a great album. "A martyr for my love for you" is the shit. :D

    My fave Stripes album is De Stijl- that is the masterpiece for me; but all Stripes records are awesome. Though I didn't care for the self titled one that much.

    it's no masterpiece but a good album. I think elephant, white blood cells and satan are close though.

    i kick myself for not getting into them sooner. i remember seeing get behind me satan on vinyl when it came out but never got it, now i wish i did. i have the alternate set, though, live versions of the songs.

    can't wait for the mono version, either!

    Get Behind Me Satan has only ever seen a UBER limited pressing of promo copies. If you seen one for sale, for a reasonable price....kick yourself for not getting it. They sell for $250 new at the store in Nashville.

    I'm hopin it's the next vault release, or that Jack White shows up at my door with one.

    i didn't notice the price as i wasn't into them, it was on the wall of a local record store. i was there today and all they have is icky thump. they had a live bob dylan set for $75 and Sigur Rós' Ágætis Byrjun for i don't know how much.

    For me, Get Behind Me Satan is their weakest effort, followed by Icky Thump. I'm not saying they aren't good albums, I just don't regard them quite as highly as the rest of the White Stripes' albums.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Get Behind Me Satan has a run of 300 copies, per Mrs. Jack Lawrence. That explains the $$$. I cant see them re-releasing it since they are selling it for $250 themselves...but more f-ed up shit has happened before I guess...

    It is getting a repress soon. A fella from this board checked on it for me and the people at the store told him that.

    i think we are more excited to recieve our first installment from the vault and see what bells and whistles get added to the album, special packaging and whatnot.
