the white stripes clearly kick ass

the new white stripes album is really solid. it makes me want to speed down the turnpike. i look forward to getting to know this album, road trip style.

here's the video for icky thump. the pitchfork review can be read here.

i'll co-sign this, i don't know if it's because their last album was kind of terrible, but i'm really really liking the new one.

i wouldn't say their last album was kind of terrible. i would say it was "okay"

i am very pleased with this new one though.

Get Behind Me, Satan had like four great songs with a bunch of shit around it. Their new album is more consistently good, but I don't know if it has a highlight like "my doorbell."

i liked every track on get behind me satan, and you are all wrong. my complaint with icky is that it sounds too polished for the white stripes - i want to hear jack white's vocal chords bleeding.

get behind me satan had some serious awesomeness on it. the denial twist, doorbell, blue orchid...

you know what? i retract my statement before about the album being "okay." i was lying. the album is great. simply because of blue orchid. it might be my favorite song by the white stripes.
