| The gist | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectrum Culture | 70/100 | 70 | “The White Stripes' evolution was an escape hatch. Whether that hatch led to salvation or disappointment remains a hotly debated topic among Stripes nerds even today.” |
| Slant | 3.5/5 | 70 | “While Get Behind Me Satan may be standing on the shoulders of Elephant, it doesn’t stand in its shadow.” |
| PopMatters | 6/10 | 60 | “It's not like the signs and portents weren't there. It's not like there weren't gaps in the White Stripes' guitar onslaught that hinted at other ambitions.” |
| Uncut | 4/10 | 40 | “Lies, damned lies, and marimba: Jack and Meg’s surprising and brilliant fifth album” |

How the Breakdown works
Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
