We can't all like the same things though. Big3 hates The Floyd so it's different strokes and all that. I think another reason why i'm not a huge fan is the lack of bass. I love bass in whatever music I like. I think it adds warmth or an underlying energy to music.

i love the sound of this album, i can easily point them out on the radio when one of there songs start up.
there just that unique that they have that poise where if they start one of there songs on the radio you're like "hey white stripes" i love that.

I like "300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues" and "A Martyr for My Love for You" but apart from that nothing else really grabs me.

I love the lyrics from Effect & Cause.

This is a decent album, I don't see that there's too much to dislike about it in one who has liked any previous White Stripes efforts. It has plenty of good songs and tries a lot of different things without ending up feeling scattered and messy.

This is a pretty bad generalisation of peoples music tastes.

not unique, but not faceless, though. they have their own stamp, their own trademark, which makes it distinctly them and not anybody else.

Pretty accurate though.
