The White Stripes : Icky Thump
 

I know that this is album is well liked amongst a lot of board members, but I just don't dig it. I really don't dig the Stripes much at all. I appreciate what they do and he is a great guitarist but Meg's awful drumming really really annoys me and there is just something about the band that I can't get into. I can't even describe it to be honest.

BONE BROKE, LITTLE CREAM SODA and RAG AND BONE are good tracks but I just don't find it moves me. I find their music impersonal at times maybe.

I would much prefer to do my own compilation as they have admittedly done some great tracks.

I'm not sure you can get any more personal than A martyr for my love for you...if you can't feel any emotions in that song you're dead...

my friend had it and i gave it a listen. the title track is awesome and there are soem other really good songs on there...its kinda in between very good and average..but ill be gererous

To my ears all the organ in it gives it a kind of mid 70s vibe to it.

I don't like it as much as De Stijl or Elephant but it's a huge improvement on their last album.

That song stunned me from the off.
Both personal and honest, probably my favourite track off the album.

The whole thing is a little too close to Zeppelin for my taste, everytime I hear those Jimmy Page riffs I wanna be sick. Elephant was a much better package and showed a lot more originality and range, I like the White Stripes and I know that they can do a lot better.

The best thing the White Stripes have produced since Elephant is the Meg White home sex tape

One song does'nt make an album.

I can hear Big3 grinding his teeth already.

We can't all like the same things though. Big3 hates The Floyd so it's different strokes and all that. I think another reason why i'm not a huge fan is the lack of bass. I love bass in whatever music I like. I think it adds warmth or an underlying energy to music.
