Advantages: Good music. That's all there is

Disadvantages: None

Is this the last album we are going to hear from the Stripes? With Meg hiding from the world (come back Meg, please!) it looks that way but I sincerley hope not. If this is the case however, what a record to go out on. It kicks in first off with the title track, Icky Thump, a shout it out loud anthemic track which is one of the stripes most strongest to date, in my opinion. Then goes into the great You don't know what love is (you just do as your told).. fantastic lyrics and a softer sound that the previous track, but just as stirring. All the track on this album offer something different, as with all the other Stripes albums. Never a band to produce one of those albums where you have no idea where one song finishes and the other starts. This album gives you a mix of blues punk rock and country in 13 perfect little masterpieces, finishing off with Effect and Cause, with great lyrics which are just so true!

Summary: Another masterpiece form Jack and Meg
