It has been six years The White Stripes’ last studio CD, “Icky Thump” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. six years ago, The White Stripes briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “A Martyr For My Love For You”. The White Stripes’s debut, ‘Icky Thump’, does not fit easily into one genre. This is my first The White Stripes Album and i must say i am blown away.
A Martyr For My Love For You is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. The opening track Catch Hell Blues is very much like you would expect from other albums. Little Cream Soda hits the heart. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Icky Thump. Such hits like I’m Slowly Turning Into You will leave you hooked. St. Andrew (This Battle Is In The Air) - A strong beat. I came to like Bone Broke. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn. After about the third 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues listen through, I began to believe this song is The White Stripes’s essence. Conquest is outstanding work of The White Stripes. The sound in Icky Thump is really warm and The White Stripes’s signature voice is still very much present. You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told) make listening to The White Stripes like being in some sort of time warp.
