    A lot of the (weirder) songs on Get Behind Me Satan have a certain charm for me. Little Ghost, White Moon, and I'm Lonely (But Ain't That Lonely Yet) just have so much emotion to them. Jack and Meg's relationship was so mysterious and when they reminisce like this, it just gets to me. It's not my favorite White Stripes album, but I think it's got a lot of heart.

  • @aydinmatney8622
    @aydinmatney8622 5 лет назад +78

    Get Behind Me Satan was supposed to not sound like Elephant. Whenever you have a hugely successful album (like Elephant) the smartest thing you can do artistically is to make the polar opposite of it. GBMS is one of my favorite albums and a lot of the songs on it, (Blue Orchid, The Nurse, Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), White Moon, and Red Rain) are some of their best and most "psychedelic" they ever got to sounding. Its definitely underrated.

    I can understand Melon's take on all of these albums, especially the gradual improvement up until Elephant. But while I did not like the final two records of this band when I first listened to them, they've really grown on me. A deeper listen on the lyrics and gaining a better understanding of what Jack and Meg were going for kind of unlocked them for me. Different, and for sure lacking some of the initial draws for the Stripes, but still really good IMO

    Omg it finally happened. I finally disagree with the melon. Is this what it feels like? Having an independent opinion? Hmm. Should try it more often.
    For me personally, I like the experimental, dark and gritty vibe of Icky Thump. It’s not perfect (what is) but the 180 from the direction of accessibility to trying something different not because it would get them in the hot 100 but for the sake of experimenting with their roots at a time songs like Buy U a Drank (oof) were hitting the charts. I would have their self titled album and Icky Thump sit comfortably at C. Closes the circle of life in their discography, which can’t be said for the majority of bands.
    I LOVE the tier system for ranking discographies. I really enjoyed this and want to see more!

    Get Behind Me Satan was recorded in jacks living room so he definitely wasn't trying to get away from the "minimalist" aspect. It's different for sure though, lots more piano and less grungy blues.

    Really good series idea, definitely good for getting more videos in a "worst to best" vein without driving you crazy. Would like to see more of it.
    I've always preferred White Blood Cells to Elephant, I just found it more refreshing and varied than any other Stripes album. Maybe cos it's the first one of theirs I'd heard as well, but it's just really stuck with me since I first heard it (I was probably 13 at the time).

  • @BraedanZinn

    @VolvoImpala 4 года назад

    You got me watching again because I've listened to all these albums but I skipped to the end to see how they all panned out to you and actually I'm different from most White Stripes fans because De Stijl is my favorite. After buying White Blood Cells and even Elephant when I bought this third or even fourth after their debut I was blown away. The blues covers are top shelf and the whole rest of the album matches that energy with its own stripped down garage rock meets the blues style. I love the slide guitar, I love Meg co-singing on "Your Southern Can Is Mine", the violin, electric or otherwise was a nice touch, and I honestly can't see why this wasn't their breakthrough instead of White Blood Cells as it did come out before.

  • @michaellisinski2822
    @michaellisinski2822 4 года назад +3

    I mostly agree with this list, except I'd easily put Icky Thump in B tier. The sort of throwaway experiments drag it down ("This Battle Is In The Air" is the first I think of), but songs like the title track, "Catch Hell Blues", and "300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues" could have fit onto Elephant without much problem.

      @Bende. Год назад

      I know that I am three years late, but I am really suprised to see a comment like that. I have never heard of anyone (except myself) that thinks that the self titled is the best. It's a really great and underrated album, I actually love it more than most of their work. Btw if you haven't listened to their tracks that they didn't include in the debut, you should listen to red bowling ball ruth, lafayette blues, and let's shake hands (I am sure, that you heard the third)

    @vilma20 5 лет назад

    great video, i really liked this format! now to complain about your opinions...
    i actually think GBMS might be my favourite white stripes album, and i know that might be an unpopular opinion. a lot of people aren't crazy about it because it's quite different from the rest but that's why it stands out to me. i appreciate the experimentation and i think there are a lot of really catchy and beautiful tracks on it. after GBSM my ranking is elephant > de stijl > white blood cells > the white stripes > icky thump (on which one of the best tracks is rag 'n' bone, FIGHT ME MELON). i'm not 100% sure about the last two, they could be interchangeable 'cause both have highs and lows and tracks that i love.

  • @NateThunder
    @NateThunder 5 лет назад

    I think Under Great Northern Lights and It Might Get Loud puts Icky Thump and Get Behind Me Satan in perspective. Jack has always felt that music is something to wrestle with and be raw. I think your opinions on those albums line up with his personal goals.
