Fourth best of four White Stripes albums I've given multiple listens (in order, behind De Stijl in 1st, Icky Thump and Elephant; only listened to ...Satan once in full and not heard self-titled) but the top 7 of my list sit proudly with their greatest songs:

02| Hotel Yorba
04| Fell in Love with a Girl
07| The Union Forever
05| Expecting
01| Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
10| Offend in Every Way
09| We're Going to Be Friends
16| This Protector
08| The Same Boy You've Always Known

03| I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman
14| Now Mary
12| Aluminum
