Title: The Real Deal
Product review: Sometimes you listen to an album and you know the band spent months and months recording it, and it has tons of complex layering and great production, and no soul. Even great bands can put out records like that. And then there's records like this one. This is the White Stripes at their purest. No polish - just great, great songs. I think this is their showpiece album. It is the most varied in terms of styles - from power chord rock (Dead Leaves) to country (Hotel Yorba) to punk (Fell in Love with a Girl) and, of course, lots of blues. But whatever style they play, Jack White can do it all. He is a songwriting genius - he is a white-hot (pardon the pun) talent who is better than pretty much anyone else out there now, and you get the sense that he can just get out of bed in the morning and write a bunch of them before breakfast.If he pulled together a real band to record this album, it probably would have gone double platinum. But it wouldn't have been as much fun as this.
