K. Just finished the album. And I'm pretty indifferent to it. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't particularly noteworthy, aside from "Hypnotise", "It's True That We Love Each Other", and "Black Math", which I enjoyed. Good energy, too. Still, it was a pretty standard, bland rock record that got really repetitive, which pains me, because I can easily see these guys doing some really good stuff. Still, it's not bad by any means. Just not very good either. I gives it a 5.5 Sure, it's not an essay, but this wasn't worth the time. Yaugh. |

Alreayd have this album, and love it. Some great rock from the new millenium. Meg White's drumming is very mininalist (no drum fills), and this might turn people off, but it allows Jack White to experiment musically. In any other band, this dynamic wouldn't work, but these two pull it off so well. With influences from 60's and 70's rock, folk, blues, country, and garage rock, the duo takes material from old groups and blend it with their unique mininalism. A 10/10 album (and their only one deserving of the title.) |

Ok, I listened to The White Stripes album (Elephant), and I can say that I'm pleasantly surprised, as I was when I listened to The Smiths (after hearing a couple of their songs on the radio before I wasn't very fond of the band). I got interested in both groups a bit, btw... As for Genesis' album, I have to say it's surely not their best (in my opinion), but I liked it, since I liked basically every Genesis album I listened to... Sorry for being so short, I'm not good at writing reviews... :-/ |

I don't want to be known as the guy who hates all music that doesn't have awesome drumming... There are many redeeming qualities in music that can make up for it, but in my opinion The Smiths didn't have any of those qualities. |

My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John. I was a rust repairer. I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor. I survived all the major earthquakes, and the Titanic, and several air crashes. Out here in the fields I fight for my meals. ![]() I Don't Mind Other Guys Dancing With My Girl. That's fine. I know them all pretty well. But I know sometimes I must get out in the light. Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright. The kids are alright. | |

Not even Morrisey's unique voice? His witty, dark, sataric and poetic lyrics? Johnny Marr's guitar style that combines 60's jangle-pop with effect and tunign experimentation, or Andy Rourke's instantly recognizble bass? (Mostly because of it's tone and pulse.) Mike Joyce's drumming style seems to be very bland, but it's actually the way his kit sounds and is miked that turns people off. They say it sounds like a drum machine-when in actually, the drum machines sound like Micke Joyce. The style was copied to fucking death throughout the 80's and in music since then that people forget when it was original. Also, his drumming on songs like "The Queen Is Dead" is evident at how talented he really is. Yea. Feel free to burn me alive. |

I hate Morissey's voice passionately, but I have class so I can't debate this further. |

Ha, you're not alone. Most people do; that's why the Smiths were and still are pretty unpopular. (Though they have a large cult following and are critically praised.) It's so different from the standard rock vocals-a mix between English folk, croon and vaudeville. Thus many people find it hard to listen to (Such critisims were also lauded at David Byrne of the Talking Heads, though his vocals are off-kilter in a different way.) Me, I adore it. It's one of the things that seperates the Smiths from everyone else. |
