![]() ![]() Elsewhere, the marimba-driven "The Nurse" sounds just as eerie as it did on Get Behind Me Satan, serving as a potent reminder that the group's artiness was as vital to their music as their dedication to rock. ![]() "Astro" and "Screwdriver," both from 1999's The White Stripes, reaffirm just how bold and clearly conceived the band's music was from the start, while the brash hooks of De Stijl's "Hello Operator" foreshadow the massive success they earned with White Blood Cells just a year later. While there are plenty of expected choices here ("Fell in Love with a Girl," "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground," "The Hardest Button to Button") that still sound great, the set goes deeper with songs that are just as strong if not quite as well known. The idiosyncratic track list shuffles the pages of the Stripes' songbook, bringing new life to their music in the process.
