About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Despite their reputation as garage rock revivalists, the White Stripes display an impressive range of styles on their second album, De Stijl, which is Dutch for "the style." Perhaps the album's diversity -- which incorporates elements of bubblegum, cabaret, blues, and classic rock -- shouldn't come as a surprise from a band that dedicates its album to bluesman Blind Willie McTell and Dutch artist Gerrit Rietveld. Nevertheless, it's refreshing to hear the band go from the Tommy James-style pop of "You're Pretty Good Looking" to the garagey stomp of "Hello Operator" in a one-two punch. It's even more impressive that the theatrical, piano-driven ballad "Apple Blossom" and a cover of Son House's "Death Letter" go so well together on the same album. Jack White's understated production work and versatile guitar playing and vocals also stand out on the languid, fuzzy "Sister, Do You Know My Name?" as well as insistent rockers like "Little Bird" and "Why Can't You Be Nicer to Me?" As distinctive as it is diverse, De Stijl blends the Stripes' arty leanings with enough rock muscle to back up the band's ambitions. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Amazing Album!!!by Anonymous

August 19, 2005: When I listened to this album I was extremly immpressed with the depth of the white stripes. Elephant was the first White Stripes album I bought which I enjoyed quite alot. Then I bought this album expecting to hear the sort of sound that I heard with elephant but I was suprised to hear the different sound on this album. From the covers of Son House and Blind Willie Mctell to the garage stomp of Hello Operator this album holds its own character. I also discovered the greatness of Jack White's guitar playing. What I find even more amazing is that he doesn't need to include a long solo every song to remind us of his talent. Highlights~ Hello Operator~ Death Letter~ A boy's best friend~ Your Southern Can is Mine and Apple Blossom. Buy this album!!!

July 11, 2005: the white stripes are great. Every album they have released have been a blend of music that is diverse and unlike each release. They surprise us after their garage-rock-revival self-titled album, and than release a bluegrass,rock album that has an endless ammount of beauty. De Stijl is my personal favorite White Stripes album
