White Stripes "Get Behind Me Satan" leaked

Well it would seem another new album was leaked. The album itself is a great album, I'm enjoying it so far, anyone else heard it yet?

I've had it for about a week. The first single, Blue Orchid, is very misleading to what the rest of the album is like. It's more De Stijl than anything.

I've only listened to the whole album once though, good so far.

I'm loving the album so far, I wasn't a big fan of Elephant, the radio ruined the album for me by overplaying the singles they released especially Seven Nation Army and the radio loved that song. I liked De Stijl better, and this is right up there. Just my opinion though.

4 songs in, I'm enjoying it pretty well. Far fewer powerchords than Elephant, more xylophone. No impressive lyrics yet...

This cd's amazing. It's really growing on me after a few listens now. I love The Denial Twist and Take,Take,Take. Great stuff!

Completely unexpected. So far removed from "White Blood Cells"! Looks like they are trying to usurp the "hip and different" title away from Beck, though they have kept away from the electronic devices to this point (thankfully).

well, i was put onto this album by a friend whose email to me recommending bore the simple subject line:

...OMG...

and to this point, i still have yet to better articulate the album.

he just happened to be sitting across from me at the time (we work together) and about 20 seconds into blue orchid i paused it, took my headphones off, gestured for him to do the same, and gave him a "what the fuck" expression.

the one word that entered my head and remains there to describe the rest of the album is simply: RAWK.

and it does.

it easily surpasses Elephant both in focus and lyrical maturity, and is not afraid at any stage of mercilessly shitfting gears, engine, and indeed chassis without notice. highlights include blue orchid, the denial twist, little ghost, passive manipulation ( in which meg calmy and menacingly lays bare the paradigm of the modern woman, all the more eerie because of her untrained, girlish lilt.)

i read a brief review on rolling stone that said:
"it must be hard for the white stripes to be so far ahead of the pack, that their only competition is their LAST album."

too true.

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.

now see, this is the problem, i think terms like 'overdone' are bandied about far too carelessly right now. i know this is a result of the net, everyone is a critic.
i should point out that i don't listen to the radio. i get all my music either by word of mouth (by far the best method) or by browsing titles and picking one out from a similar genre, etc.. therefore im not as jaded by radio repetition, marketing etc.. and i have to say that i found blue orchid to be EXACTLY cheesy enough for an album that is at best, frivolous, and nonsensical at worst. i dont think that matters, to be honest, because i've never felt the stripes were trying to say anything, but just churning out rawkin riffs with some songs wrapped around them. in that sense, i think sometimes tracks like blue orchid are analysed a little too deeply.

that said, i'm not saying anyone is wrong or anything (i HATE that) i just disagree.
