  • Comment: The White Stripes' weakest album. And all my comments about best or weakest albums start like this. Has anybody noticed? Or haven't I posted enough of those comments yet? Too much? Am I rambling? Ok, Aluminium is a horrible semi-experiment, some of the other songs are a bit weaker and others are great. Unbalanced, but still pretty good. All clichés of the comment.

My Fave In Order Best - Least

The White Stripes , Get Behind Me Satan , Elephant, De Stijl, White Blood Cells

I agree with White Blood Cells being the weakest, even though it's still a pretty good album.

CaptMal07/12/2007

Icky Thump is amazing.

Sadly, it's the only album I've ever heard by the band...and I'm getting quite addicted to it.

Well, you should definitely listen to their other albums then
