Songs Like Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes
By Dan Cohen · Published 2026-09-05
The riff is the most recognisable of its century, but the readings behind Seven Nation Army are less extreme than its reputation: intensity 63, dynamic range 8, 124 BPM, complex texture, dynamic vocals, and only mild sudden changes. It is heavy without being volatile. Tagged energetic and heavy.
The 63s
- Hello — Adele. Intensity 63, dynamic range 9, 79 BPM, and tagged heavy exactly like the seed. A piano ballad and a garage-rock riff, identical on the headline number.
- Public Service Announcement — Jay-Z. Intensity 63, dynamic range 8, 83 BPM, also tagged heavy.
- Another Star — Stevie Wonder. Intensity 63, dynamic range 8, 109 BPM.
- Paint It Black — The Rolling Stones. Intensity 64, dynamic range 8, 140 BPM — quicker, one point heavier.
- Lovesick Girls — BLACKPINK. Intensity 62, dynamic range 8, 100 BPM.
- Du Hast — Rammstein. Intensity 66, dynamic range 8 — three points up, and the vocal style changes to screaming.
Why “heavy” is not a genre here
Our heavy tag describes weight and force in the recording, not distortion or scene. That is how it lands on Adele and Jay-Z alongside Rammstein. If you want the riff, none of these will substitute for it; if you want the weight, all of them will.
Seven Nation Army appears on The White Stripes’ 2003 album Elephant. Figures are our own measurements, read from the public API at build time. The genre and era spread is a consequence of measuring sound rather than style — it is not a claim that these artists resemble each other in any other way. No lyrics are reproduced.
