Icky Try

The White Stripes' long overdue record was a bit of a dissappointment. The lead hit, Icky Thump was the rage of bloggers and music reporters alike, but when it came down to it, it fell a bit short. Yeah it's fucking great in a hard rocking way, but if you really listen to the song, it doesn't sonically add up! Effect and Cause was a nice little moral they tried to slip in there, but it wasn't anything we haven't seen in the first album and Rag and Bone was a blast from the past... Van Halen's Hot for Teacher style! The best track on the record by far was Conquest. They picked their brain a bit farther for this one... and it shows!
