The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Meg White (drums). Additional personnel: Holly Golightly (vocals); Mort Crim (spoken vocals). Recorded at Toe-Rag Studios and BBC Maida Vale Studio, London, England in April 2002. ELEPHANT won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The album was also nominated for Album Of The Year. "Seven Nation Army" won for Best Rock Song. The song was also nominated for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal Personnel: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Meg White (vocals, drums); Holly Golightly (vocals). Audio Mixers: Jack White ; Liam Watson. Recording information: BBC Maida Vale Studio (11/05/2001-??/??/2002); Toe-Rag Studios, Hackney, London, England (11/05/2001-??/??/2002). Author: K. Johnson. Photographer: Patrick Pantano. Lo-fi in production and uncompromising in approach, ELEPHANT finds The White Stripes continuing to walk to the beat of their own pomo blues drummer in ignoring the enormous expectations heaped on the follow-up to 2001's smash WHITE BLOOD CELLS. Recorded in two weeks, this outing is packed with loose, soulful, and delightfully unpretentious songs that rage and howl. Jack and Meg White hit the ground running with the chugging shuffle "Seven Nations," with its infectious bass line and thudding cadence. Surprises abound, from the wall of Queen-like harmonies that infuse the choppy, psychedelia-tinged "There's No Room for You Here" or a reading of Burt Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself" bursting at the seams with distorted guitar. Not surprisingly, the blues are never far from the equation, particularly on the heavy stomper "Ball and Biscuit" with its bursts of screaming guitar solos. Equally impressive is Jack White's slide guitar on the pleading "I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart" and six-string histrionics on the chugging "Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine" that shakes and shimmies with Stooges-like aggression.

Rolling Stone (12/25/03, p.111) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2003" Rolling Stone (4/17/03, p.102) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...There are still only two of them, but now they sound like an army....Equal measure of Lightnin' Hopkins' crude strum, Marc Bolan's sequined boogie and the cut-'n'-thrust song hooks of the Buzzcocks..." Spin (5/03, pp.107-8) - "...A remarkably good record, quite possibly a great record....This is not garage rock; this is art rock: And that's a compliment..." - Grade: A Entertainment Weekly (12/26/03-1/2/04, p.140) - Ranked #1 in Entertainment Weekly's 2003 "Records of the Year" Entertainment Weekly (4/04/03, pp.98-99) - "...Jack is a top-notch frontman, a charismatic yowler with a seemingly endless supply of brilliantly simplistic guitar riffs that often find fresh musical twists on tired rock & roll cliches..." - Rating: B Q (01/01/04, p.84) - Ranked #1 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "[A] record that made white-boy blues sound like pop music for the first time in over 30 years..." Uncut (01/04, pp.84-7) - Ranked #23 in Uncut's "Albums Of The Year 2003" Uncut (5/03, pp.94-5) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...ELEPHANT features a group at their peak, rejoicing in basic forms while bursting beyond their limitations....They are quite simply in a league of their own..." Magnet (4/03, pp.109-111) - "...It sounds warm and well-aged....At the core is Jack's increasingly stunning songwriting..." CMJ (12/29/03, p.4) - Ranked #1 in CMJ's "Top 10 of 2003" CMJ (04/07/03, p.8) - "...With Meg's perfectly imperfect drumming and Jack's Detroit wail excavating Jon Spencer or Plant or Willie Dixon, the divinely sloppy and unadorned ELEPHANT is RAW POWER with a GED..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.67) - Ranked #8 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "Emotionally, the needle rarely drops beneath total overload." Mojo (Publisher) (01/01/04, p.62) - Ranked #1 in Mojo's "The Best of 2003" Mojo (Publisher) (4/03, pp.88-90) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Where ELEPHANT differs from what has gone before is in terms of quality. It's just better all round: consistently better songs, more explosive performances - and, when required, more tender performances..."
Rovi

近年の原初的なロックンロール回帰風潮のなかで脚光を浴びた紅白姉弟デュオの4作目。相変わらずアイデア豊かなコンビネーションと凶悪なインテリジェンスで、気持ち良く針をレッドゾーンに振り切ってくれる。ベックが彼らの前作を昨年のベストに選んだそうだが、考え抜いて自分の音楽をやるベックからしたら、それこそ姉弟間の〈テレパシー〉にも似た交感作用と、ギター/ドラム/歌という最小限の設定だからこそナチュラルに醸し出され、聴く者を巻き込んでしまうこの〈レア〉なグルーヴ感には、嫉妬を覚えざるを得ないのだろう。バート・バカラックのカヴァー“I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself”は、かつてエルヴィス・コステロも歌った必殺の一曲。それにしても、この2人。ほかのデトロイトの連中にはない、50年代のガレージR&Bからワープしたような、生臭い匂いがするのが本当に魅力的だ。

印象的なリフが特徴的な代表曲「Seven Nation Army」が収録されているアルバム。このリフ思いついた時「やったぜ」みたいなことを思ったのかなー
「Seven Nation Army」ばかりが注目されがちだけど他の曲も当たり前にかっこいい、贅肉がついてないかっこよさって感じです。

彼等の最高傑作の呼び声高いクールな作品、わずか数週間で短期間アナログレコーディング、ライブでのタイトなドラム&ギターヴォーカルのディストーションハーモニーはカントリー/ブルース/ジャズ/デトロイトハード/ガレージパンク/ロックサウンドであり二人で作られたとは思えない。
