The White Stripes are Back

After a short run with his 'Nashville' band, the Raconteurs, Jack and Meg White have reunited to release their first album since Get Behind Me Satan. They're back, and the White Stripes rock more than ever.

On the new video for the single, Icky Thump:

I've spotted Meg White on numerous occasions around bars in Detroit and have always been stunned by how much hotter she is in real life than she appears on TV. Watching the new video, she was the first thing I noticed. You have to admit that she is pretty hot in this video, sporting new hair and a much more stylish look. She finally looks like the rock star we always knew she was. Even Jack is looking halfway cool, as opposed to the freakish Frankenstien look he usually sports. It looks like they've finally accepted that they're international rock stars. And while they have changed their look, they're sound hasn't changed. Thankfully, thay've maintained the amazing raw sound we expect from the White Stripes and other Detroit rock bands while still managing to come across so beautifully tight. This is a great step forward for the White Stripes, and if the rest of the album is anything like Icky Thump, it's sure to be their best to date. I can't wait for this album to be released.

White Stripes have always rocked. However I can see where Jack Whites recent foray into The Raconteurs has refreshed his musical prowess. As evidenced by their new album Icky Thump, which brings back that raw sound with yet overpowering musical talent. Yes the White Stripes have gotten better.
