I find their grandeur amazing and very refreshing. Also musically I think that they have created something new which is very rare these days. Then add in Abigail Morrisâs voice and itâs an uncontrollable burst of enthusiasm. From what I read they are blowing up the pop charts across the pond. I am not a fan of pop music, and I basically refer to it as pop trash. But not this pop band. Give this album a listen !!!

I stumbled upon Idles a few years ago and initially couldnât stand them. Their sound is very specific. Theyâre rowdy. Theyâre all over the place. Theyâre a wonderful anomaly in the music realm.
I liked this snippet from The Rolling Stonesâ review of their album, âDescribing the warm, fuzzy optimism of an Idles record requires only the most pretentious adjectives â ebullience, exultation, jubilation â words that Idles frontman Joe Talbot would likely laugh at heartily before offering a pint to anyone who said them.â
Itâs an album you can dance to, fight to, protest against police brutality to, celebrate the end of the British monarchy to â itâs resistance music if resistance music was played by good looking tattooed guys who occassionally wear dresses. I enjoy the songs Dancer (done with LCD Soundsystem) and Grace the most, but Gift Horse makes me want to riot in the streets and Pop Pop Pop needs a dance remix asap.
Enjoy it. And if you dislike it, youâre wrong. Thanks.

one of my favorite, most slept-on bands ever. cheesy 80s pop that has no right to be as lyrically impressive and self-aware as it is. also they did a mostly instrumental record in 2003 called I Trawl the Megahertz thatâs all string arrangements with radio interview samples blended in if thatâs more your thing. awesome range, Cars and Girls was my most listened to song of 2024. also the singer dresses like that now so u know heâs the real deal
