Is This It and Room on Fire were the only really half decent stuff they brought out. The whole 'Garage Rock Revival' stuff sorta jumped the shark after that. Jack White's other stuff (Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) kick the ass of the White Stripes and when's the last time the Vines have brought out anything good? Their lead singer is too preoccupied with his Asburgers so Melodia flopped. The Hives (IMO the weakest band when the 'Garage Rock Revival was at it's peak) ironically are the only band that I can really listen to their newer stuff and like.
