Get Behind Me Satan kicks off with the single "Blue Orchid", which pretty much picks up where Elephant left off. The song is fuzz-laden with crushing cymbals and falsetto vocals and presents itself as a perfect anthem material. And while Elephant had a fair dozen of those, this is where it stops. Most of you have heard this single; don't let it shape your opinion about the new album. In fact the rest of the album is as unconventional as any of the earlier ones, with loose elements, hurried song to song jumps and Jack's brilliant writing. Don't expect any more "Seven Nation Armies" and "Hardest Buttons" either. From here on most distortions have been replaced by a piano, and guitar effects by acoustic strumming. I'm not saying that the songs are totally unexpected; we've seen similar progressions on all of their albums. It's just that I've noticed too many comments around trying to assess this album by Elephant standards. Don't. Try to take White Blood Cells and compare it to Elephant, chances are you'll end up with the same result.
Songs vary, moods vary. Some are better than others. "My Doorbell" reminds me of (sorry, again) Led Zeppelin's "Fool In The Rain". While not necessarily a copy (we wouldn't want that to happen), to me it provides the same feeling and melody. "Little Ghost" scares as a folk song, while "I'm Lonely" dishes out typical country lyrics and nostalgia, leaving Meg with little to do with her drums. There is a little for everyone. Personally I'll admit to have a soft spot for more daring and harder-hitting Stripes. There's something for me too: "Instinct Blues", "Take, Take, Take" and "Red Rain" hit the spot in a raw, stomping fashion.
This album might not be on top of White Stripes' repertoire, Elephantand De Stijl crushed me with a force that's hard to live up to. But I won't be quick to dismiss Get Behind Me Satan as one of those "in-between" albums. For what it's worth it shows the bands ability to grab ideas on the go and work on them. It also shows that they've still got a huge potential to write amazing material and capability to deliver more interesting albums. This album might not be the best addition to the White Stripes catalogue, but it's still an addition, and I sure as hell won't complain about that. The band took a sidestep, take it or leave it.
