I was surprised to come back here after such a long while to discover that there had been a level of popularity associated with Icky Thump that could rival that of In Rainbows.
I'm glad to see Icky received so much love. I was kinda wondering why most people I know personally could not really get into it. I thought it was in all ways an excellent rock record.
I certainly got more enjoyment out of it than In Rainbows. I wouldn't say that musically it's at all the better record, though. IR wins for creativity and sonic beauty, IT wins for being one of the most rocking garage rock records ever recorded.
