Claude says:Icky Thump was Jack White's attempt to make the biggest, weirdest White Stripes record possible—all gang vocals, folk tangents, and that hypnotic title track that somehow works as both a headrush and a provocation. You picked it up in 2012, well after its 2007 moment, but kept returning to it sporadically over six years, letting the pure sonic bluster of it settle in quietly.
