I guess it would help if I were more than just a casual White Stripes fan. I like a few songs here and there but, would never buy an album. Avocado by 2 and a half miles.
Well, as "Icky Thump" has blown me away for the past week and I am already declaring it thier best album ever, and considering I was mildly disappointed with Avocado, apart from the usual 4-5 great songs, well...
I'm sorry, but I'll go with Icky Thump. Jack has finally gone heavier, bluesier and even more quirky than before. This is how I hoped most deeply that WS would sound at some point. And since Avocado doesn't really have that unbeatable quality of most of PJs other records, I was particularly disappointed about the slow numbers, seeing how recent songs I Am Mine, Man Of The Hour and so on are so good.
So I'll go with the White Stripes' best album over one of PJs weakest. One vote for Icky Thump here.
Peace
Dan

This is a complete reversal of percentages from a week ago.
Honestly though, Icky Thump wins this easily
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
