White Blood Cells is the third album by band The White Stripes, released in .

Considered the band’s commercial breakthrough, White Blood Cells peaked at number 61 on the Billboard 200, going Gold and selling over 500,000 units. The album also reached number 55 in the United Kingdom, being bolstered in both territories by the Fell in Love With a Girl single and its Lego-animation music video. Stylus magazine rated it the fifteenth greatest album of - while Pitchfork Media ranked it ninth on their list of the top 100 albums from 2000-.

The album was dedicated to Loretta Lynn, creating a friendship between Lynn and both Jack White and Meg White. In 2004, Jack White would produce Lynn’s comeback hit album Van Lear Rose.

Redd Kross bassist Steven Mcdonald created an online-only art project, titled Redd Blood Cells, in which he added a bass track to the otherwise bass-less album. The White Stripes arranged with Steven to take the files down after more than 60,000 downloads.

    Meh. I miss the homemade recording style, and it's basically a repetition of their first two albums, but without the energy of those if you ask me.

    I actually have trouble listening to this album all the way through. It's amazing, no doubt, but it just doesn't hold my attention all the way through. <3 We're Going To Be Friends

    I can never pick which one of theirs is my favorite, but probably between this and De Stijl, but Elephant is so damn good as well. The White Stripes are brilliant.
