Summary: Anyone else been listening to the White Stripes' last album?!




Angry guitar thrash reverberates,
sneering at the sweet goody-goody harmony
of hum-drum melody.
Daring extreme encounters,
its voice screeches in defiance
of all who crawl to conform.

The menacing tenacity of bass
hammers nails of revolution
through the closed eyes of the dumbly deaf.
