Anyone heard this yet?

I think I'm gonna have to buy it right now.

I wasn't that crazy about Get Behind Me Satan. Some good stuff, but I actually liked the Racantours album better. It had a fuller and more conventional fleshed out sound.

I hope the new Stripes isn't trying too hard to be different.

I really enjoyed Icky Thump. It's more of a throwback to their older material, but it's still all good. The main riff in the title track is a sinister son of a bitch!

I've heard that song, and I liked it. You're right, it reminded me of older stuff like De Stijl. Simple & hooky, with big guitar.

Great reviews on metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com.../ickythump

Since I'll be seeing them live next month, I have to get the album. I also have to pick up Nick Cave's Grinderman since they will be opening. Sounds like a really good bill.

Just bought it today and I'm going to check it out in about 5 minutes in the car!!!!

I agree. I actually like the Racanteurs more than the White Stripes at the moment. Level was my song last summer. But Icky Thump (the song) is catchy as hell so I think I'm gonna check out the new album.

They're coming to my town in September so I might see them. They're a good live act.

I dig The Raconteurs, the White Stripes somewhat.
Listened to the album and thought I'd point the second song out. It sounds a lot like Bad Company's Shooting Star http://www.youtube.com/wa...fyLfimk55M

::coughs::

I've only heard the song. I seem to have a love/hate relationship with it.

The video's pretty cool though.

i can't get enough of this song!

That seems to be the case with you & them in general.

NDRU said:

I know.

I don't want to like them, but sometimes I do and I also want to like them and usually I don't.

I saw the video for Icky Thump on tv yesterday, and I think I liked the song, but I wasn't quite sure
After a few more listens, I'll probably love it though.
Thats how it tends to go, with their music.

I'm a big fan of the last two albums (White Blood Cells was okay), The Raconteurs and Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose so I'm waiting for Jack White to do something I don't like nowadays.

Definitely, their music sounds familiar and simple at first, but eventually the pure charm of it really gets to you.

sextonseven said:

I still don't have that Loretta Lynn album. I've heard some songs off of it and I did like it though.

I don't know, I guess with the White Stripes, I like them well enough when I hear them, but I always forget about them and never remember to actually play their albums. None of it really sticks in my head for very long so I just forget about them.

sextonseven said:

I have to say I liked Get Behind Me Satan, but I didn't love it. I'm not sure why, I liked the individual songs, it just didn't fully gel in my mind. Maybe that could still happen.

Funny as it seems, I liked how conventional the Raconteurs was. I liked that it had overdubs & bass & good drumming, and the production was slick.

I absolutely love 'em!

NDRU said:

The Raconteurs album grew on me. At first I didn't think any of the tracks were as good as "Steady As She Goes", but after repeated listenings, I like pretty much the whole thing. It was my #19 album of 2006.

It's better that Get Behind me Satan, though for the life of me I just can't digest the bagpipe tracks. I've had that damn effect and cause song in my head for two weeks now but I really love the outpour blues.

How crappy are they? I'm in the 100s.
