Album Description

De Stijl, the Dutch word for the style, is the sophomore CD from the Southwest Detroit brother and sister duo THE WHITE STRIPES. This album is based more on piano, open-A tuning and primal drum beats. It is also augmented by electric violin, acoustic bass and presents the listener with more melodic pieces. 13 tracks.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Can I give six stars?.......2006-09-05

I first got hooked on this CD last year although my dad had it for much longer than that. Before I listened to this cd my favorite White Stripes had always been Elephant but I immediately fell in love with this one. All of the songs are great and I even used "I'm Bound to Pack it up" as my senior song when I graduated from High School. This cd is amazing and I would definitely recommend it to any music lover no matter their genre. If there is nothing in this cd that you like rest assured there is something wrong with you.

3 out of 5 stars DeStijl, De Stijl, but where's Da Skill?.......2006-02-11

This CD is good enough to merit a listen or two but De Stijl means stripped down, not incapable. Shedding the fat in rock is good sense in my book but a modicum of ability would be nice. I'm not asking for virtuoso drumming but I can only take bass-snare-snare for so long, Mrs. White.

However, just because I desire a bit more skill and could do without "Apple Blossom" and prefer Son House's "Death Letter Blues", doesn't mean this sucks.

I appreciate Jack's interests in old blues and heartily approve of physical violence against The Von Bondies. So as far as I'm concerned this merits a purchase but not extened play nor adulation.

5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best White Stripes album and a garage rock classic.......2005-12-29

This album is a must-own, period. If you thought a guitarist and a drummer couldn't rock like any other band prepare to be proven wrong! "De Stijl" is arguably the best Stripes album with every track being not only memorable and fun but filled with interesting lyrics. Like a modern day Bob Dylan, The Stripes keep churning out music worth repeated listens and for this alone it deserves a place in your record collection along with the rest of the their albums currently available. Jack White is a great singer and pretty good guitarist - he's got a lot of charisma and charm. The lyrics are always very well written and sometimes pretty quotable (they're definitely worth anazlying). Musically it's pretty simple stuff, but that's what's so great about it - it's minimalistic but somehow still manages to be highly engaging (you'll understand once you hear it - it's very hard-rockin'). I couldn't recommend this album enough - along with "White Blood Cells" this is a MUST-have!

Highlights include:
the whole album!

4 out of 5 stars Great CD - another must have.......2005-12-19

Another crazy mixed-up mess from the Stripes. "Death Letter" is the best with "You're Pretty Good Looking for a Girl" right behind it. If you can get over the head scratching (and some people can't) you'll figure out that the White Stripes embody what rock is all about - plug in - play - have fun. I don't even think they care if anyone likes what they play. This is a more basic rock album than their later works but it's easy to hear that they were not quite in sync with programmed radio rock even then. Really a great CD.
