„I can’t understand why anyone would like this record. I just think it’s dreadful. Linear, tuneless, pointless.
I have a problem with them anyway. All this deep, profound authenticity, all that „I’m a southern gentleman!“ bollocks. The White Stripes would have been crucified back in my day, because there is so much hypocrisies within them. You put it on your stereo and it sounds like a fucking hiss.“

(Nicky Wire im NME über „Icky Thump“ der White Stripes)
