Music reviews of Icky Thump
Music Review: I Rediscovered Music with the White Stripes and I Adore This Album
Rating: 5 Stars
I first heard the WHITE STRIPES when I was in my late 50s. I am now 61 and I still listen to them every day. I also listen to the Raconteurs (also Jack White) and now Dead Weather (ditto). As someone who went to college in the late 1960s, this is the freshest music for me which has come out since that time period. ICKY THUMP is right at the top of all of these albums for me. Expanding their instruments, eerie bagpipes and Flamenco horns are added to this album with great effect. I loved their inclusion. There are many musical influence in this music but garage rock coupled with blues certainly are always at the forefront. Having listened to Jack White now play with other musicians, I must say that his playing with Meg has been consistently underrated. The two of them bring out the best of one another musically. Good as Jack is on his own or with other musicians, when he plays with Meg it as as if he is playing with his soul mate. I usually don't appreciate the instruments as much as the singing on any album but that is not true on these albums. I love the great thought that has gone into the use of each instrument and to the uniqueness of each one and to the softness or hardness of its sound. Jack's vocalizing is terrific and fits seamlessly into every arrangement. My only hope is that this is not the last White Stripes album since Jack now has so many other musical irons in the fire. I don't have the technical expertise to comment on each song as other reviewers here have done. I just know I love the whole album. There is no greater pleasure than driving in my convertible with the top down through the nearby national park and listening to this album during the summer time. This album also won two Grammys.
Description of Icky Thump
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 White Stripes Photos

Bagpipes, a song written as the soundtrack to a Michel Gondry music video, Patti Page's musical shadow, and Jack and Meg co-narrating a scavenger's rummages: It must be time for Icky Thump, the many-flavored riposte to 2006's Get Behind Me Satan. 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
