    Radio rip or not, this album is outstanding. Proves that GBMS was just a minor bump on the road to rock and roll greatness for Jack and Meg.

    What? You seriously disliked that album? Man I always thought it was pretty damn good...
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    I love GBMS. My Doorbell, Forever For Her, Denial Twist, Instinct Blues, Blue Orchid, Take Take Take, Ugly As I Seem... These are all among my favorite WS songs.

    It's alright, but not on par with the rest of their albums, imo. I didn't feel that it highlighted Jack's guitar work enough, which is the main reason I love the Stripes. Their covers of son house and their heavy blues influences weren't nearly as evident on GBMS as previous albums which, to me, is something I look forward to.

    Well those are good reasons. It's nice to see people be able to legitimately discuss their claims haha...In real life, I deal with people who can NOT do that.

    See, I like the rougher Stripes stuff but I loved the new textures and experiments in GBMS. That being said, as far as the crazier, harder Stripes stuff goes "Icky Thump" is awesome and I'm pysched to hear the whole album.

    I enjoyed GBMS to a point. That being said, I didn't think it was on par with their other work. I also prefer the harder, rawer songs that highlight Jack's bluesy guitar stylings. I like what I'm hearing from "Icky Thump". I just hope the album is on par with that song. If so, it'll become a staple in my rotation like the other White Stripes albums aside from GBMS.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    when is the non radio rip actual cd mix going to leak?

    I am not wasting my time with a radio rip.

    Its funny Jack was so pissed that the radio played the record, its not like the leak is actually all that great quality wise.

    It would be like Matt Cord playing the new PJ record before it was released, and some people taping it, and leaking it via Torrent. Not good quality wise
  • The radio rip has been out for a while now, I was referring to the actual album (at least according to a couple other forums I browse).

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    get off your soapbox.
    music downloading is the wave of the future and the best thing to happen. I think it'll weed out the crap that people put out. If you tour you can still earn a paycheck.

    The rip up now is a CD rip from an advanced copy that someone uploaded.

    It's great.

    To whomever said they absolutely hated "you don't know what love is (you only do what your told)" ...

    what's up with that?

    It's a great fucking song on a great fucking album.

    Is it because you are an overboard feminist,
    or you just don't like it because your musical tastes are too advanced?

    hmm.

    just messing, but why the strong hate for that specific song.

    This is their best since De Stijl, me thinks.

    LOVE the blues shit!
    :):):)
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
