BRING ON THE NEW ALBUM!!! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

[red]

Thanks very much for this Red.
Too early to comment, although my initial thoughts are something like this  :) :-/ :(

No problem DB!

This would be my first impressions..  :) 8-) :D then :-[ :-/ then  :( :o

[The DARK]

 :-? What's wrong with it? Bagpipe solo is :D

[BH]

I love how heavy it is.   Would love to see it live.

[red]

I've completely changed my tune on this song.  After about 10 listens I'm in love.  Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

[dragonboy]

Hmm...seems to me that he's going out of his way to make things 'weird & wacky'
I could do without the widdly-bleeby keyboards & the la la la's completely ruin the song for me  :-/

Like I said, still early days...

[BH]

I like the raw heavy instrumentation, yet it seems a little too clean of a production to make those sounds blend well together.  Too many "holes" in the sound.  I don't know how to explain what I'm saying, but I just think this song would sound sooooo much better live.  It kind of reminds me of The Nurse.  I didn't love the "odd" sounds at first but after seeing Jack do it all live, I have loved it ever since.

[Jaimoe]

I love love love this single. I never cared for Blue Orchid as a lead single from Satan, but this new song is exciting and balls to the wall rock and roll.

[Tree]

This song kicks ass! I love it. The guitar is just wonderful!!!

[red]

Just got my tickets!!!   ;D

[crewjones]

Hey I'm the new guy!
I just got into MMJ this year and have been an obsessive Jack White fan for awhile now.
I found this link to preview the new single and wanted to spread the wealth.
It has a KILLER guitar riff!!!!

Welcome aboard, Yeah I love it. Absolute Madness!  :D

La La La La La La La lA LA, La La lA!

Was up on youtube but got taken down very quickly, here's the video for Shitty Thump (actually I have to admit it's kind of grown on me) http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/

4/5 Uncut
"Heavy Riffage! Celtic Folk! Mariachi Blues! Meg & Jack rock back with a 'compellingly weird' one"

3/5 Q
"Their strangest record yet. Cue Celtic Rock, poetry & bagpipes...this is an uncompromising and, at times, plain awkward album"

[bug]

I can say that judging from the songs they played at the Nashville show from this new album, it should be awesome.  I love the White Stripes but I didn't like the last album, this one is going to be grittier I think.  I can't wait!

[beammeup]

this album is unbelievable. start to finish, every track is solid. best album of 07 thus far.

"Icky Thump" live on Jools Holland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri8R9sEsRVU

Wow has this song ever grown on me.  July 1st is going to be the best Canada Day ever.

uh.
well.
uh.
i think they have just ruined the music for me.
how dumb.

...imo?
(do i even need to say that? does anyone disagree with me?)

[The DARK]

Well, they won't all be in that format, so there's no need to buy it that way.

But you're right, there's really no need for it. You can only use it on the computer, so how is it any different than buying music online?

Unless it's cheaper... :-/
