'Get Behind Me Satan' is the fifth studio album from The White Stripes and it must be said that it's just a bit different from the norm. Every track present here sounds completely unique, and whilst some of the tracks work; others just don't. Full marks to the band for experimentation and creativity, not so many marks however for consistency. Whilst some of the tracks are quite impressive here, others have me quickly reaching for the skip button before my ears suffer too much. There are thirteen tracks present here, as I say though; not all of them are particularly worth listening to, and the likelihood is that you won't appreciate everything that you hear here (I certainly didn't).

Jack White actually wrote every single track present on this album, I find it quite amusing how someone can get things so right with some tracks and yet so, so wrong with others. The album is incredibly inconsistent; ranges from brilliant to terrible, and yet the same person wrote every single one of the tracks present here; go figure. Another thing I find quite amusing about Jack White is his voice, he doesn't have a particularly good voice at the best of times; there are tracks where he makes the most of the voice that he does have however, with other tracks on the other hand he'll shriek and cry and his vocal tone can actually be quite painful to listen to. With the track 'As Ugly as I Seem' for instance his vocal performance is dreadful, with 'Blue Orchid' on the other hand he uses his whininess to his advantage and makes his guitar whine to go with it and the end result is absolutely excellent.

The sound is always very basic here, at times you do forget that there are only two people in this band however and it does in fact sound like an awful lot more. At some points though it becomes very obvious that there are only two people present in this band and the music is held back markedly as a result of this. The album was released in 2005, and if you liked any of the bands first four albums then there's no guarantee that you'll like this one also; the music is very different here and before listening you must therefore expect the unexpected. Prepare to be shocked, prepare to scared, and ultimately prepare to make mighty use of your CD players skip function; some of the tracks present here are probably best avoided, and if you do skip past them then you will enjoy the listening experience a lot more than if you don't. If you're looking for something a bit different then this could well be an album for you, it's not a great album and a number of tracks present here are actually pretty terrible; some of the music you'll absolutely love however and it's these tracks that the album is therefore well worth listening to for.
