發了新片啦! 而且分數超高呢~(可能是年度十大~~) White Blood Cells has sold about 650,000 copies in the US alone, and that figure is likely to rise. New album 'Elephant' looks set to be No.1 in the UK album charts this weekend, and is well outselling Linkin Park. 100 Rolling Stone It is a glorious thing to hear. It will be one of the best things you hear all year. 91 E! Online It's a massive success. 90 New Musical Express The eloquence, barbarism, tenderness and sweat-drenched vitality of 'Elephant' make it the most fully-realised White Stripes album yet. 90 All Music Guide Elephant overflows with quality -- it's full of tight songwriting, sharp, witty lyrics, and judiciously used basses and tumbling keyboard melodies that enhance the band's powerful simplicity. 90 Mojo Where Elephant does differ from what has gone before is in terms of quality. It's just better all round. [Apr 2003, p.88] 90 Dot Music 'Elephant' is already this year's most crucial purchase. 90 Q Magazine A record sufficiently impressive to suggest that White Blood Cells caught Jack and Meg using only a fraction of their talents. [Apr 2003, p.98] 80 Junkmedia So the news is good. They didn't sell out, they didn't run out of ideas, and they were able to find still more places to yell "Whooo!" Go buy this now. 80 Playlouder 'De Stijl' is just about better song for song, but the sheer vitality and energy of this one alone makes 'Elephant' their most accomplished record to date. 78 Austin Chronicle A baby elephant still, bigger, brighter than its two siblings, but it's in your kitchen, and it ain't leaving anytime soon. 75 Entertainment Weekly Not that there aren't hints of greatness on Elephant.... That said, ''Elephant'' also flaunts everything that's contrived about the band -- the gimmicks for which they've become better known than their actual music. 69 Pitchfork Therein lies the contradiction of The White Stripes. How do you combine the shit-hot with the "twee?" Elephant's shortcomings suggests the enterprise is futile. --
