This was the album that hooked me on to The White Stripes, the song “Red Rain” on particular. Although it’s no longer my favorite album of theirs, I think it deserves just as much love as any album in their discography. It has so many sounds that play off of Jack and Meg’s style while still sounding so fun and authentic. I know some people really don’t like Jack’s look during this phase of their career but I think it’s so fitting and just cool. Also if you at all like this album, The White Stripes, or even just rock you HAVE to listen to this live show: https://youtu.be/l5wkTdVjE1s It’s mostly songs from this album but with so much energy, fun, and authenticity that makes me love the band. Also Jack and Meg’s little interactions make that video so enjoyable. Back to the album though. I think it doesn’t get enough love and more fans ought to give it a try. Enough said.

About
Get Behind Me Satan is the fifth album by American alternative rock band The White Stripes, released on June 7, 2005, on V2 Records. Though still basic in production style, the album marked a distinct change from its guitar-heavy 2003 predecessor, Elephant. With its reliance on piano-driven melodies and experimentation with marimba on "The Nurse" and "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)", Get Behind Me Satan plays down the punk, garage rock and blues influences that dominated earlier White Stripes albums. Frontman Jack White plays with different technique than in the past, trading in his electric guitar for piano, mandolin, and acoustic guitar on all but a handful of tracks, as his usual riff-conscious lead guitar style is overtaken by a predominantly rhythmic approach. Rolling Stone ranked it the third best album of the year and it received the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2006. As of February 2007, Get Behind Me Satan had sold 850,000 units in the United States
