    Such a fun album. I haven't listened to it in awhile so I figured it's definitely time again. Still just as bad ass.

    I love this song and this band and all of their albums. Just amazing. A guitar and drums. That's all you need.

    Icky Thump was panned by a lot of critics. When this album was released they said that The White Stripes had finally sold out. Then when they broke up they turned around and said it was the best album in their discography.
    
    I cannot agree with either of these points. Icky Thump doesn't have the power of say De Stijl, but it still is a powerhouse of an album. Just from the title track you know you are in for something awesome. While it is sad that this was their last album, I feel that they went out on a good note. No matter what happens to Jack and Meg in the future, I will always be able to think back to the video for Icky Thump and imagine them perfectly content in a little room somewhere just totally destroying it.

Description

The White Stripes are back with the most bombastic album they've ever produced! While revealing the band's roots in American folk music, Icky Thump is an explosive, revolutionary assault that brings together garage rock, every blues style of the past 100 years, nouveau, and flamenco. This is truly a modern rock and roll masterpiece!

The duo starts big with the title track--Jack's fast-tumbling, falsetto-tinged lyrics jagging on hyper keyboard-sounding segues and Meg's pounding drums. They rarely shy from an idea, invoking acoustic Bob Dylan to frame "300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues," but interjecting a series of distortion-laden guitar paroxysms for good measure. The end of Icky, on "Effect and Cause," is where Jack's trademark vocal warble and spare, quick acoustic strums meet Meg's single-minded beats. Everywhere on Icky giant riffs leap and shout, with Flamenco horns and those eerie bagpipes and rhythmic shifts and Jack's impatient vocal kinetics, marking new territories even as the White Stripes again populate them with vintage ideas. --Andrew Bartlett
