"Get Behind Me Satan" is the fifth studio album by American rock duo the White Stripes, released on June 7, 2005, via V2 Records. Departing from the guitar-heavy sound of its predecessor "Elephant," this album features piano-driven melodies and experimentation with marimba on tracks like "The Nurse" and "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)." Frontman Jack White shifts his focus from electric guitar to piano, mandolin, and acoustic guitar, favoring a rhythmic approach over his typical lead guitar riffs.
The album was well-received by critics, earning praise for its innovation. Rolling Stone ranked it the third best album of the year, and it won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2006. By February 2007, "Get Behind Me Satan" had sold 850,000 units in the United States.
