ALBUM: The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
(XL)
EVERYONE'S sick and tired of the sister-brother-husband-wife conundrum.
Now's the time for the music to speak for itself.
This, Jack and Meg White's fifth album, is a testament to the wonder of their magical, harmonious world.
With influences from Led Zepplin to bluegrass, there's not much that daunts the duo, which is as it should be.
My Doorbell (When You Gonna Ring It) is a bold highlight and also of note is the plaintive Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) and paean to fan worship and Rita Hayworth, Take Take Take.
Satan's definitely got the best tunes.
