01 Sep 2020: The White Stripes/"Get Behind Me, Satan" (2005) [REVISITED]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2020/09/get-behind-me-satan-revisited.html

when i first got this album, i loved it
however, as time went on, i liked it less and less
so let's give it a once-over and see how good it really is

beginning with blue orchid was perfect
shame about the nurse though
it never had a chance, honestly, sandwiched between blue orchid and my doorbell

take take take is AWFUL
red rain is bad but after take take take i can't be too mad

this is clearly the band's worst album
it has two great tracks and that's about it
i lowered my rating from 3.5 to 2.0
