Description:
Following the arty explorations of its predecessor, GET BEHIND ME SATAN, ICKY THUMP finds everybody`s favorite platinum-selling, post-modern garage-rock duo returning to their bang-and-stomp rock-&-roll roots. The marimbas and pianos of the former are kicked to the curb in favor of the kind of Led Zeppelin-in-a-trash-can riffs on which Jack and Meg White built their cooler-than-ice reputation.
There`s an overwhelming sense of urgency and catharsis on most tracks, as on the title cut, where Jack`s Robert Plant-ish wail falls into a near-rap full of breathless cadences. That dirty, primal groove evoked by said title is the organizing principle of the album, sweaty blues-rock writ large and gritty. Even though there are a couple of brief stylistic diversions when the Whites veer into folkier territory, there`s no mistaking ICKY THUMP`s status as a thick slab of heavy rock capable of handily crushing lesser sonic statements.

Overall Rating: 4.9
It's a solid White Stripes album. Interesting songs. They sound like the White Stripes, but they sound different this time.

Great album after their not-so-great last CD and Jack White's odd side band. The music is similar to their first few CDs. There are about two mariachi type songs, as a side note.
