to answer the ?, they're overhyped
that said, their music is ok with me, largely hit or miss
and the drumming bothers me. meg white looks and sounds bored with everything she's doing, check that SNL performance. not sure if that's part of their thing, but i don't like it a whole lot.
the guitar-drums duo has been done much better. i hear a lot of people compare the white stripes to this other group, the black keys. it's a bad comparison in my opinion, but black keys are really good so if you dig white stripes, you might want to check them out.
