Review title: Heard it all before...
Product review: The White Stripes are an admirable rock band, but painfully overrated. "Seven Nation Army" is a very good song, but the rest of the disc is the same repetative lo-fi noodling. This is far from groundbreaking. You can grab any garage rock album from as far back as 1968 and find the same thing.If the music scene wasn't so vapid and lacking of good bands, The White Stripes wouldn't get a second glance. Think about how much attention they would get during the early 90's grunge movement.A band needs to blend its influences into something new and unique, not rehash what others have done before it. AFI is a great example of a band that has melded influences of punk, goth and even metal into a new cohesive vision. I heavily recommend their new CD, "Sing the Sorrow" in place of "Elephant"
