and yet, somehow...
it's one of the best songs ever written lol.

to me, it's about more than the sonics.
the lick to seven nation army is just so... primal.

granted, the production is a HUGE factor.
i doubt i would like it if that lick if the production
was shitty.


just like i wouldn't like "louie louie"
if the band didn't sound like it was about to fall apart,
and "billie jean" sound like "billie jean"
if those kicks and snares didn't sound so PERFECT.

sure, the production is a huge part of the draw.
but he's responsible for the production,
so that's not a knock on jack white.


the whtie stripes just work for me.
