De Stijl & Elephant are their best - I think De Stijl would be my number one pick

De Stijl is definitely my number one pick. It's a must have, anyone that is missing it really needs to go get it right away.

NME

Found this info on three songs that were previewed for NME.

'Icky Thump'
Starts with Meg on pounding bass drums, then breaks into an experimental, heavy sounding 70s riff, that at points varies from a 'Black Math'-like rock sound to electronic sounding, processed sections. The vocals almost never repeat themselves as and there's little conventional structure. Jack's vocals are heavily treated in the production with one of the few clear lyrics in this mainly instrumental track, going, "Why don't you kick yourself out, you're an immigrant too".

'What Love Is'
A more classic sounding White Stripes song recalling 'White Blood Cells'-era. It's a strong, melodic love song with Jack singing the following for the chorus: "You're not hopeless or helpless/I hate to sound cold/But you don't know what love is/You do as you're told".

'Conquest'
The biggest departure of the three tracks previewed. It's an unexpected mix of big guitars and a bold horn section. Boasting a Spanish, Latin feel, it's a third person storytelling song about a serial womaniser, who finally meets his match. "Conquest, he was out to make a conquest" sings Jack. "She was just another conquest, but the hunted became the huntress".

Generally the feel with these tracks, is the band are back to big sounding guitars, but allying that with some very experimental, almost electronic sections.

Updated first post with tracklisting.

Reportedly, the album has no piano but it does feature a synthesizer on the title track and bagpipes on another!

OK, so last night I went out and got The White Stripes, De Stijl and the Walking With a Ghost EP. Now I'm all set for the new release. Of course at this moment I can't seem to find Get Behind Me Satan, and I didn't make a backup of it, either .

I found this over at the Little Room message board on a thread dedicated new album news.

There's a great song-by-song article posted at http://www.musikknyheter.no/news/2150

I can't wait for this. My only hope is that it doesn't stay at 18.98 on Amazon. I enjoy the Stripes, but not enough to drop $20 on their new one.

Thanks for the art.

$9.99 on release week at all the B&Ms I would assume.

Just got the new single off iTUNES and it is indeed quite sexy. It's so nice to have new cds from White Stripes and Interpol so close together.

"Icky Thump" - love it - sounds like a cross between Elephant & De Stijl:

I'm still pissed I missed the Nashville show. By the time I found out, the show was sold out.

The outfits in that video look like they are returning to the self titled/de stilj look.

I met Jack & Meg at a small club a few years ago. Meg was an absolute sweetheart, and Jack was late for the show. After the show he was either strung out on some serious drugs or just really weird.

Anyhoo, it was a cool experience.


I've only heard 2 songs I think from Icky Thump, but it's sounding good so far.

Album sounds great. I like it better than "Get Behind Me Satan" but not as much as "Elephant".

'I'm Slowly Turning Into You' has a riff very similar to something I've heard before but I'm not sure what. For some reason it reminds me of Nirvana unplugged.......Anyone else hear it or know what song it sounds like? It's driving me nuts.
