I'd like to pre-emptively defend my rating of 5 for White Blood Cells. It's fantastic, until about 3/4ths of the way through. Then it's filler songs they almost never played live and almost no one remembers the words to. Really deep cuts. I'm sure everyone has their favorites of those, but they must have learned through that experience that you should skatter the great songs throughout the album and put the good and the okay songs in between. After WBC, that's what they did. I'm just saying that for an album with amazing tracks like Dead Leaves, Hotel Yorba, and Fell In Love With a Girl, they really stuffed it with other songs that just didn't hit as hard. Still better than some singles from lots of other bands, though. Because The White Stripes.

^^ That's the only way to do it. My ratings would change every time my mood changes because the music on these records is something I respond to by mood. The closest I could come to rating them is to say that White Blood Cells is the album I listen to least.

Whatever record I feel like spinning, for me at that moment is the best album.

My doorbell is bouncy, playful, and catchy. Nothing wrong with that.

It is legit one of my favorite White Stripes songs. And music videos for that matter.

Yeah it is and I have nothing against it realy but I just prefer that dirty blues sound on a stripes song.
