HOORAY!

Hello Children,

The White Stripes will release their sixth album, ‘Icky Thump’, on XL Recordings in UK/Europe on June 18th and on Warner Brothers Records in North America, SE Asia and Japan on June 19th. You can view the album’s cover art HERE.

Jack and Meg have also confirmed they will be performing at Zenith in Paris, France on June 11th. For tickets, please visit Le-Zenith.com

What do you think of the cover art? Black and white photo of Jack and Meg sitting on a tree with a little red logo with the album name up top, and helluva lot of buttons! What’s going on in the background? Someone else sitting on a tree?

Kinda boring-looks more like a promo shot. Maybe they will surprise us with something, like great liner art-I hope so.

i think it needs more red too. and more style over all. im not just talking about the buttonsuits.

Hey, I liked The Three Amigos too, but, really? Really, really?

Kate April 10, 2007 at 7:04 pm

It’s a cool picture. I like it a lot more than the GBMS artwork.

joe k April 10, 2007 at 7:51 pm

i think their facial expressions are perfect. i always thought gbms looked way too similar to elephant because of the curtain and the shadowing, etc. as if they were ripping themselves off but making it worse too. having said that, im pretty happy with this one. i think the thing in the back looks like a witch.

Chris April 10, 2007 at 10:44 pm

I think it looks like a witch, too! And I like the cover. It’s the first one where they have distinctive facial expressions.

haven’t seen an album cover that has instantly made me laugh in a long time. This is excellent.

whos behind them????
satan….nah

Ava April 11, 2007 at 10:02 am

If its a witch behind them its so easy to figure out who it is: that horrible thing he married: Karen, uuuughhhh, what a mean nasty person
The album cover does look a bit dull-expected more from them. Sure the music will be grand though

awesome!!

Anonymous April 11, 2007 at 3:12 pm

Is Karen really that much of a diva? Thats too bad. If she is I never thought of Jack as marrying a women like that. So hopefully its just nasty rumors. If it is not he must just love her looks or her skills in the boudoir!! Damn, Jackie is whipped! I still think Meg is the cutest of the girls I know he has been with. I heard she is an alcoholic. Hope that nasty rumor is not true.Oh well I am sure their new album will be great. No one can dispute their talent.

Oh please I doubt Ava has ever even met Karen. Don’t go around believing anonymous comments on the net.

Anonymous April 11, 2007 at 5:12 pm

Or stranger’s comments.

dean April 11, 2007 at 6:18 pm

I’m voting “awesome.”

he looks like hes constipated

David Kelly April 12, 2007 at 9:06 am

they are wearing costumes that are influenced by Pearly Kings and Queens, a traditional cockney costume.

Anonymous April 12, 2007 at 5:09 pm

he does look like hes trying to take a dump

Envy April 13, 2007 at 9:16 am

the cover is great! I love it! is anyone else doing something original. PS Karen is awesome I don’t believe these comments,I’ve met her when I asked Jack for an autograph and she was very sweet to me and low key! I think you may be a little green with envy.

cockneys have the most irritating accent on earth. they think theyre great too. stupid fucking idiots. look of your rathole of a city. however quirky it may be to put something deep and meaningful or whatever on the cover, they probably should pick something that doesnt represent the shittiest accent and gobshite people in britain rivalled only by the brummies. if i had that much money i would burn a cockney on the hour every hour and also look for financial backing to breed them with a gene that left them mute and less disgusting.

Nice change of pace. The GBMS cover was too much more of the same.

ZippyTheChimp April 15, 2007 at 10:02 pm

I hope those are red and white lights

emily April 22, 2007 at 6:34 pm

i dont really like it
needs more red
but i mean if the album is good does it really matter what the front of it looks like
