Jokingly referred to as the White Stripes' British album, Elephant is scattered with cultural references that give away the fact it was recorded far from home. Just listen to the lyrics on "Seven Nation Army" ("From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell") or the album outro, in which someone chips in, "Jolly good, cup of tea?" But while there are new twists here, from Meg White discovering her voice to a tongue-in-cheek threesome with Holly Golightly, Elephant is no great departure for Jack and Meg White. They still push their creativity (and the boundaries of their eight-track) to new heights. Check out the startling, Queen-inspired "There's No Home for You Here," while the deep bass line on "Seven Nation Army" makes it a classic indie dance track. But while some songs fly off into new realms, there's plenty of their trademark straight-up bluesy rock, notably the overtly sexual "Ball and Biscuit." And there's Jack's plaintive, resolutely modest and yet theatrical voice. --Caroline Butler

The White Stripes keep getting better. This album grows upon White Blood Cells and goes off in a couple of new directions, but at it's heart it's still an excellent, bluesy rock album. One of the best tracks is "Theres No Home For You Here," which will blow your ears off if you're not careful. It also contains some of Jack's best Robert Plant-sounding vocals.

Real rock and roll. No pop on this album. All you'd hope to expect from the peppermint twins.
