I've heard really good things about Icky Thump, I may check it out. I really like Elephant.

I seem to be the only one disappointed with Icky Thump...

it's pretty awesome. i'm bummed that it didn't pursue some of the more experimental tendencies from get behind me (like "the nurse"😉, but it rocks as hard as elephant and has the same goofy sense of humor as white blood cells.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, it's just my least favorite album of the bunch.
