Non-Urban Music White Stripes - Icky Thump

[Casey]

Anyone checked out the album yet? If so, is it any good? So far I've only heard the title track, which I thought was pretty sick.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Might buy this tomorrow.

Might buy this tomorrow.

Let me know how it is if you do.

Bought it today, won't get a chance to listen to it until later. I wasn't keen on the lead single at first, but it grew on me.

Cool. Let me know how it is. Don't compare it to any of their other albums though, I'm not that familiar with their albums, only a handful of songs, but I like Icky Thump the song a lot so I'm interested to hear how the album is.

 

[Casey]

Any updates, Ilu? Is it worth copping?

 

[Illuminattile]

Yes.

I won't compare it to their other albums, because it's nothing like any of them. It's very rock 'n' roll. Every review I've read has made mention of Led Zeppelin, and I can see why. The Corky Robins cover "Conquest" is brilliant.

 

[Casey]

Sounds good. I love me some Led Zep.

Speaking of the White Stripes, there's a nice blog entry here with some rare White Stripes songs.

 

[Farzin]

Buy it. Now. Go. I said stop reading this and go!

 

[Glockmatic]

This is a great album, I love the blues/rock and roll sound.

 

[Illuminattile]

Favourite song? I'd say Bone Broke at the minute. I love Rag & Bone too, even if it is mostly spoken word.

 

[Casey]

I am definately going to pick this up.

 

[Glockmatic]

I also like Bone Broke, but Effect & Cause is my favourite on the album. I'm a sucker for acoustic songs

Worst song on the album IMO is St.Andrew, mainly because its just talking over bagpipes. The rest of the album is great though

 

[Casey]

I got it, but ain't listened to it yet. Will listen later.

Its hilarious, Meg White cannot play the drums. Every single song, thump, thump,thump lol. I dont mind it though. I like White Stripes.
