View More By The White Stripes Our ReviewThe White Stripes rock. It’s that simple. Jack White, well schooled in the basics of blues, country, punk and metal, churns it out — with drummer Meg pounding out her “Icky Thump” of a beat — like the seasoned pro his garage rock soul has slowly but surely become. This is not another dirty, creepy lo-fi album from the basement (though the album’s closer “Effect and Cause” is a reminder), but a full-fledged attack from Nashville’s Blackbird Studios. “Icky Thump,” the song, is an unusual single, moody and creepy, but Icky Thump, the album, is a smorgasbord of sound, a whiplash tour through the genre junkshop that is White’s musical consciousness. “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told),” crashes through like a long-lost AC/DC track. The Patti Page number, “Conquest,” and “300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues” survey the blues. “Rag and Bone” turns John Lee Hooker’s “Boogie Chillen” on its head. “Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn” twists Scottish folk (and its bagpipes) with psychedelia. “Little Cream Soda” leaves space for White the sideshow barker to babble his entertaining nonsense before the crushing guitars resume their forward march. Jack White’s not exactly King Midas but everything he touches turns to classic rock.. Customer ReviewsWho'da Thunk? (5 stars)The White Stripes have done it again, sticking to their roots while still changing their musical style completely, yet still writing fantastic music, from lyrics to beats to guitar riffs that will knock you out of your seat. This album is probably Jack and Meg's best album as a duo, because they use so much experimentation throughout the songs. Play by play: Icky Thump: We've already all heard this one; a slightly political song with a ki Yea (5 stars) Jack White destroys. Uniquely Amazing (5 stars) The White Stripes are probably the only band who can work bagpipes, a Mariachi band, and a 1946 Univox synthesizer (a very early synthesizer that can only produce one note at a time) into a stripped-down hard rock album. Every track is unique, and amazing in its own right. "Little Cream Soda" is an absolutely huge song, and I can't wait to hear them play this one live. "Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn" is an Irish/Cel BiographyFormed: 1997 in Detroit, MIGenre: Alternative Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s The White Stripes formed on Bastille Day in 1997, aiming to create simple, vigorous rock & roll with little more than Meg White's percussion and Jack White's guitar-and-vocal attack. Meg's drumming was deliberate and straightforward, while Jack's formidable guitar skills paid homage to garage rock, blues, and punk. A former drummer for the Detroit-based country outfit Goober & the Peas, he also displayed an affinity for American folk music, and the White Stripes took strength in the varied...
