I think Rolling Stone's massively overrating the White Stripes there. I'm a big fan of the White Stripes, but the state of music today is not quite so bad that the Stripes are the best we've got. Maybe the best mainstream stuff we've got, but I doubt even that.
I don't like "Blue Orchid" much. It seems...overdone and cheesy. The rest that I've heard, though, seems quite good. Perhaps good enough to surpass Elephant and White Blood Cells. Definitely good enough to risk a purchase. "The Denial Twist" really caught my attention.
