Label: Third Man
Reissued 12/7/10, originally released 2000
The duo's second album, recorded on 8-track analog tape in lead singer and guitarist Jack's living room, encompasses a range of eclectic styles: bubblegum, cabaret, blues, classic rock, and, of course, The Stripes' home-base, garage rock. This 2000 album is today recognized as a cult classic and little wonder why: it seamlessly pulls together tracks as varied as the peppy "You're Pretty Good Looking" and the loud "Hello Operator" or the theatrical ballad "Apple Blossom."
