Elephant

White Blood Cells, both in the contemporary music scene of the time and the current music scene of today, was and is not cool. And that’s what makes it so cool.

Singer-guitarist Jack White and his ex-wife, drummer Meg — the undisputed king and queen of the new garage movement — finally romp and rattle like a fully armed band. It is a glorious thing to hear. It will be one of the best things you hear all year.

This is not garage rock; this is art rock. And that's a compliment.
