One of those records where the band/ musician just NAILED the visual representation of the sound perfectly with the cover. Super fruitful and colorful soundscapes across every track, and it all stands out to me so well as a style I can so easily fall in love with. Great album I would recommend to nearly anyone that like some electro indie rock sounds, cuz this record does them great!
Introduction for me into Jack White music other than the obvious hits of his other band The White Stripes, and I've got to say that this album ROCKED! Although I really didn't mess with the mixing choices to where many songs sound kind of distanced, but I still can appreciate those tracks and I'm sure all of them would go unbelievably hard in a live setting. some genius musicianship on display here with the skillful guitar playing!
One of my favorite slow core albums I've listened to, especially of this past year. I fell in love with Teddy's music last year with his first single of the new era in his career, and this record proves even more the continued growth he's seeing in his music. Love to see him keep growing in the future
This might be the only career to still be carried to this day by a single album for nearly 30 straight years. This record has some of the most recognizable melodies and best lyrical rapping performances of all time, let alone of the 90s. Ms. Hill solidified herself with this project as one of the best to ever touch the genres of hip hop, r&b, and soul, even if she only made an endeavor into said genres once.

While It's not as terrible as it may feel like it is when compared to the other two piles of trash released on the same night, ICEMAN lacks enthusiasm that I really wanted out of a "comeback" record like this. And for such a rollout, I just felt like I needed more, and at the same time I feel like I needed less than the bloat on this track list.
