Well yes. The basic problem w/Icky Thump (not problem enough for me to untick it) is Jack White as vocalist and especially LYRICIST - WTF is he on about.

I looked up the lyrics and they appear to be about illegal imigrants? And how America is hypocritical about them? Or something boring like that. He's written lyrics I've liked before, not that any spring to mind right now.

He uses his voice as an instrument -- there are not lyrics. Obviously it's by far the worst instrument on the track, but whatever.
