Recording information: Third Man Studios, Detroit, Michigan (2005). Between 2003's hugely successful ELEPHANT and 2005's GET BEHIND ME SATAN, White Stripes frontman Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's Grammy-winning VAN LEAR ROSE and contributed a handful of tracks to the bluegrass-heavy COLD MOUNTAIN soundtrack. While GET BEHIND ME SATAN certainly isn't a country album, it does highlight White's fascinatingly unpredictable nature. With the exception of a few songs (including the blistering single "Blue Orchid"), Jack leaves his electric six-string in the garage, opting to roam around with his acoustic guitar (as on the gentle "As Ugly As I Seem") or settle into a marimba- or piano-led melody. As always, Meg White is on hand with her wonderfully unpolished, cymbal-heavy drumming, providing the perfect foil for Jack's intense, mercurial presence. With its quirky narratives about ghosts, nurses, and Rita Hayworth, SATAN is a restless record, and the duo uses that energy to maximum effect, easily making this the White Stripes' most dynamic album to date. Professional Reviews Spin (p.63) - Ranked #18 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2005" - "[The disc] feels less like a middle finger than an attempt to insulate the group from the bruising limelight." Spin (p.101) - "[Jack White] manages to make songs that sound like harnessed truths, which is why the White Stripes generally make the best records in the contemporary world." - Grade: B Uncut (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 - "White stays true to the band's aesthetic vision, while mapping multiple paths away from stagnation..." CMJ (No. 916, p.4) - "Seems Jack and Meg have been spending time in the nursery fiddling with their old xylophones and marimbas in between their routine bloozeouts, power-pop aerobics and local band beat-downs." Mojo (Publisher) (p.60) - Ranked #14 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "[L]acerating blues and stricken balladry." Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 - "'My Doorbell' is catchier than a four-pronged trout fly. 'Little Ghost' is an Appalachian knees-up straight out of the Harry Smith handbook."

this is quite a good cd by the white stripes, the alt music greats! i love all the tracks on here, and number 1 is a particular favourite and a great introduction to the album. get behind me satan is a mixture of upbeat and slow songs and is a great party cd for that reason!

Get Behind Me Satan was the first White Stripes album I heard in entirety, and that was enough to get me hooked, make me go back and buy every album they had made before and eagerly anticipate anything else they released (Which ended up being Icky Thump, also a great album). Starting from Blue Orchid, one of my favourite White Stripes tracks, Jack and Meg take us on a crazy journey through some pretty ecclectic styles of music, yet it all seems to mesh so well on the one disc.

This is is a preetty good album by the white stripes . Not absolutely fabulous but is worth listen. The best songs on the album would be my doorbell and blue orchid. These songs are really good and once you get to listening to them they are really catchy. This band is getting better and better though and the next album will definitely be a ri;pper. Good album, worth buying. Good listen on the weekend.

If there’s one big thing rock music has lost since its halcyon days in the late '60s, and particularly since the advent of this thing we call “indie rock” in the late '80s and '90s, it’s a sense of any kind of mystique or inscrutability in its artists. For more than a decade, very little has separated rock fan from rock performer --- starting with The Pixies and Pavement and through the early '00s with current indie gods like The Decemberists and Spoon, bands seem more and more like a bunch of regular dudes who just happened to suspend their obsessive record-buying habits long enough to afford a few musical instruments.
The White Stripes have produced another standout album with Get Behind Me Satan.
For me it is better than previous albums, just something about this album.
Blue Orchid and My Doorbell are personal favourites

this is a pretty similar album to their others, they havent really tried anything new on here, apart from to possibly try and make it a bit more commercial, as they had some success with the song my doorbell on here. there is the same trademark lyrics and beats as on their other album, but all in all it will satisfy if you are a fan.

this is a good cd from the white stripes, although i think its not as good as past albums. Some good tracks are blue orchid, my doorbell, as ugly as i seem and forever for her (is over for me). Some tracks that i just dont even think should be on there are little ghost and passive manipulation. But overall, its worth buying if your a fan.

em yeah kind of like white stripes without the really grunty sound of guitars. yes this is different from their white blood cells and elephant days but im still not completely sold on it. there are a couple of very catchy tracks and then there are some really dodgy tracks. my doorbell is a little too poppy for me and the only really good track for me is blue orchid, not the worst album in the world but definately not the best.

One of thes best records I own!! Jack and Meg White are truly revolutionary. Just when you thought there was nothing new to be written, a genre that really does stand alone comes along. Sad and Happy, Strange yet appealing the White Stripes have done it again on this record. When Meg sings its so innocent and Jack is so in love with the simple things yet also seems to have a very tortured sole. Love it, Buy It

get behind me satan is the white stripes latest album, i think it is really good aswell. many of the songs on here are really catchy and memorable. my favourites being Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), the denial twist, the nurse and As Ugly As I Seem. it is an awesome album and all fans of the white stripes should own it.

On "Get Behind Me Satan", the White Stripes are taking their sound to new places. There's lots of piano here, some marimba and a few other instruments that go beyond the guitar, drums and voice trilogy of previous Stripes albums. "Blue Orchid" has the heaviest riff Jack White has ever ripped out, "My Doorbell" is catchy as hell and "Denial Twist" will get you dancing for sure. "Get Behind Me Satan" is far more diverse than previous releases and for this reason some fans don't like it. Perhaps "The Nurse" and "Little Ghost" change things a little too much but change is what keeps a band fresh and interesting. The White Stripes are both on "Get Behind Me Satan".
