jcgamer107 07/01/22 6:28:50 PM #30:	Quite possibly the best White Stripes album, or at least their most accessible 1) Black Math The sick-nastiest chugging opening guitar riff, with a phat tempo change at the bridge and a solo that comes at you like a bat out of hell. I'm glad Jack is self-aware about which of his songs are the most bad-ass - he's played this almost every time I've seen him live. 2) Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine A hidden gem toward the end of the album - I swear I forget it's even on there half the time I listen to it through in order, but it's such a good jam. The bit near the end when Jack just leaves dead air where the last line of the verse should be cracks me up. 3) Ball and Biscuit It's quite possible that this is my 3rd-favorite track, but it's a fact that (irl) Jack White is a 7th son 4) The Hardest Button to Button One of the coolest music videos ever. My old band covered this at a Detroit show ten years ago and it was the most fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUx3kDnT-p8 5) Little Acorns Love the piano that comes in under Mort Crim's reading. Classic weird Jack White vocals. 6) Hypnotize A fun, catchy little jam. Very danceable. 7) I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself White Stripes covers of classic songs are pretty much always good 8) There's No Home for You Here Epic use of the octave pedal once again. You know sometimes I think the character singing may be in the wrong here.... 9) Seven Nation Army A fine song that will be chanted at sporting events until the end of time 10) The Air Near My Fingers Cool synth riff 11) I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart Decent piano 12) You've Got Her in Your Pocket Watched Jack perform this and get kind of emotional - the lyrics hit for sure 13) In the Cold, Cold Night It's cool that Meg gets to sing now and again. It's also cool that she doesn't sing too often >_> 14) Well It's True That We Love One Another I don't hate this, but it feels out of place and isn't really as charming as they probably thought it would be when making it. I also still don't really know who Holly Golightly is (aside from Audrey Hepburn's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's). --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify <cite>jcgamer107 posted [p:966266582] in Rank the T...
