< p>Album introduction

The White Stripes are famous for their crazy moves and ideas. This time, in addition to guitars and drums, and some dialogue recordings, they also used Mexican folk songs, American country, Scottish ditties and Jeep Severe flamenco, this superimposed fusion created a model of rock hybrid theory in the new era. This album is their first album after joining Warner Bros., and "Icky Thump" is also their first single to reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. No. 26, to be precise.

Lyrically, this song is a big change. "SevenNationArmy" from the Elephant album and "BlueOrchid" from the GetBehindMeSatan album defy fame and temptation, and "Icky Thump" also has a topic: immigration. "IckyThump", "BoneBroke", etc. can still make people feel that the White Stripes band despised everything. As a songwriter, Jack White's achievements are less than his achievements as a sound architect. Even compared to singers like Lil Joe or Avril Lavigne, his writing doesn't represent his level.

Perhaps the other two best examples of Jack's songwriting skills are "Effect & Cause", which uses great philosophical propositions, and "RagandBone", which records a lovely conversation between Jack and Meg. to the band's early blues days, showing the brother and sister's spiritual wanderings - "The palatial house / The puppy's house / The house outside the door / The house of an old mate / The house of an unmarried mother looking for a technological switch for her grandmother's phone ” They proudly established their own style of music and “made some money.” Starting with "White Blood Cells" in 2001, he has released a new album every two years. This time Jack has brought his black rock experiment to a perfect level, and will not be short-changed both audibly and visually.

"You Don't Know What Love Is" is also an anti-male supremacist song, a comfort for a woman who is not his wife. Bigger and slower than Blue Orchid, Jack adds more garage elements, making this album easily his loudest and noisiest. Even though the album isn't as consistent and unified as fans might have imagined, their sound always stays with you, and those sounds represent who they are.

Band Achievements

The White Stripes were once seen as the hope of a punk rock revival, but they were a mixture of cold-blooded animals and an emotional sound. Just like Led Zeppelin, the hero Jack White admires, Jack White has also established his own monument.
