Great album, but it's Jack White's LZIV. In other words, Good, but way too commercial compared to WBC.

"The Hardest Button to Button" is still genius, though.

Brilliant.

Kind of ironic that this is the album of the day...I just recorded some friends of mine doing Seven nation Army at school today Razz (which I can now play on guitar Cool ...well....the beginning anyways).

This is a great album. It's came out 20 years after it should have though. It was released at a time that 'rock' albums weren't being made very well, and it's probably the only album in the last decade (big albums anyway) recorded using an analog system.

Great songs, Hardest Button To Button, Little Acorns, Ball and Biscuit, There's No Home For You Here, It's True That We Love One Another, You've Got Her In Your Pocket, and of course Seven Nation Army. Very Happy

Critics have been all over the map with this album...ranging from 2/5, to 5/5 ratings....P4k gave it a low rating too...which is odd, because they're still a hipster band Think

Damn impressive album though Applause

100/100

The more I think about it, this album has really got some standout tracks, even beyond the hits; "In the Cold, Cold Night" is a nice opportunity for Meg to shine, his cover of "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" is probably better than the original, "Ball and Biscuit," "Girl You Have no Faith in Medicine"... I could go on!

Such a fucking shame they broke up. One of the best coming out in the 00's, with Elephant as their masterpiece. White Blood Cells & Icky Thump are pretty good too though.

Well, a band made up of ex-spouses is lucky to have lasted this long, anyway...

38# in my chart, already a super-classic album ! Seven Nation Army is without any doubts the Smells Like Teen Spirit of the 00s.

5/5 tracks : Seven Nation Army, Black Math, Ball And Biscuit, Hypnotize, Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine.
