that it would be SOO great?! i was hoping it would, i knew i'd like it after i heard the single, but this is just too much! i ADORE it. i've been trying to figure out how to best put that into words...but the tom breihan village voice article says it all.
"And so Icky Thump, for me, feels like a revaluation, like the rock-stardom leap I've been hoping they'd make since I first saw the "Fell in Love with a Girl" video on MTV. They sound like they're having fun again: making weird and sometimes deeply annoying noises, turning songs halfway into skits, pushing their self-imposed limitations as far as they'll go, but still remembering to write some fucking amazing songs. I was not expecting to hear a great album from the White Stripes at this late date, but that's exactly what Icky Thump is."
