It's not amazing, but it's not crap. There's one or two little gems on the album, the album titled "Icky Thump" being the best song on the record. It's fun to play as a guitarist, but the album overall isn't that good.
The biggest issue I have is that when they play songs on here live, Jack White always seems to randomly hit the keyboard than take the time or care to play something more similar to the record version... I know how you shouldn't recite the songs 100% but his random hitting sounds terrible...
I think they went through a "mexican faze" for this album... let's hope they return to their older stuff or at least develop a better style based on their older stuff for their next record.
5/10
