Title: Don't believe the hype!
Product review: Four words: don't believe the hype! Yes, "White Blood Cells" is unlike anything else out there, but it's not doing anything worth paying attention to. It's also not worthy of all the hype radio and magazines have placed upon it.It's easy -- impossible not to, really -- to fall in love with the sheer rawness and energy of the White Stripes' first single "Fell In Love With a Girl." I did and I bought the album, expecting at least a few more tracks like it. What a mistake ... there are exactly zero other tracks with the same screechin' guitars and raw noise. What's left is a whole lot of boring lyrics and odd vocals.I give the White Stripes two stars for potential. If Jack and Meg get a bassist and some decent melodies, they would be well on their way to stardom. I guarantee it. In the meantime ... wait.
