They suck. At least the first 4 White Stripes albums had some great songs and energy.
They've effectively positioned themselves as "the" rock band for those who complain about the demise of rock n' roll in the mainstream. They're safe, radio can play them and are willing to give in to every commercial pressures (licensing songs etc.) so they can gain more popularity.
Oh, and did I mention they write boring songs with no teeth that all sound the same?
