Album Notes & Community Reviews

Opening 'White Blood Cells' with a burst of violently squalling feedback before dropping into a massive, fuzzy blues riff. Jack White's vulnerable lyricism beautifully contrasts with the incredibly raw, unpolished garage-rock instrumentation, further establishing the duo's critical darling status.
