The White Stripes: Icky Thump
Icky Thump
(Third Man/XL)
The White Stripes’ sixth album returns to the guitar overload eschewed on Get Behind Me Satan (2005). This means no to the piano and yes to studio trickery and, especially, the whammy pedal – an eerie-sounding pitch shifter.
Jack White channels the spirits of both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant on the raucous title track, You Don’t Know What Love Is, while Bone Broke and Little Cream Soda successfully update the duo’s original minimalist approach. Elsewhere, the brilliant 300 MPH Torrential Downpour Blues, a gloriously rowdy mariachi version of Patti Page’s 1950s hit Conquest, and two tunes featuring bagpipes stand out on this consistently powerful and varied collection.
