The White Stripes White Blood Cells

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Gothic garage punk strictly by the all the best and baddest rules....fusing inescapable, eerily eternal melodies with dirty-ass, brain-scrambling riffs recalling both the Kinks and the Melvins..."
Ranked #1 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year" - "...A jittery, lovably pretentious garage blues record....Unexpected rock stars who love Howlin' Wolf and peppermint candy in equal amounts..."
"Raw, elemental, and pretty much perfect, CELLS seemed to rise fully formed from a garage in Detroit..."
Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever"
4 stars out of 5 - "...Their sonic ingenuity...enhances even the most basic garage-rock templates....curiously innocent..."
4 stars out of 5 - "...The most explosively entertaining new band to come out of America in recent memory..."
Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2001".
"...Irresitible....It's as if they take Beatlesque hooks and a snotty Stones rock 'tude, mashes them with the eardrum-bursting chugs of Sabbath, and then washes it all in a decidedly millenial indie-rock mood..."
Ranked #28 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[With] 16 irresistible three-minute frenzies..."
Ranked #15 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
"...Irresistible..."
Ranked #3 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
8 out of 10 - "...Great songs, a great look and self-discipline, too..."
