| + | |
| - | * The album marks the first time the band has performed with horns and bagpipes.
| + | |
| - | * The album marks the first time the band has recorded and mixed an album in a conventional recording studio.

| - | * Icky thump was still, however, recorded to reel-to-reel, and mixed to tape in complete analog fashion.
| + | |
| - | * The album was recorded in three weeks, the longest the band have ever spent working on a record.
| + | |
| - | * Icky Thump contains the first spoken dialogue song to appear on one of their albums - "Rag and Bone".
| + | |
| - | * Icky Thump is the second longest album of the Stripes pantheon thus far, second to Elephant with more than 48 minutes in running time.

| - | * The album’s title is a morphing of the phrase "Ecky thump" which is an exclamation of surprise or wonderment in northern England.

| - | * Jack White used the exact same guitars on Icky Thump that he has recorded with on every White Stripes album.
| + | |
| - | * “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” is possibly the first song to be written based on a video treatment. This was inspired by one which was given to the White Stripes by Michel Gondry which features Jack walking, followed by many other people. The people start off looking like Jack, and then slowly look more and more like Meg. At the end of the line of people is Meg.
