IDLES (2018)

9.0/ 10

“UK punk outfit IDLES returns with an album that improves on the brutal and politically charged style the band delivered on their debut last year. One of the best punk albums of the decade without question!”

Favorite tracks: COLOSSUS, NEVER FIGHT WITH A MAN WITH A PERM, I'M SCUM, DANNY NEDELKO, LOVE SONG, SAMARITANS, TELEVISION, GREAT, CRY TO ME, ROTTWEILER

Least favorite track: GRAM ROCK

IDLES turn trauma and anger into affirming lessons on Joy As an Act of Resistance, crafting a cathartic masterpiece that wears its heart--broken, but still beating--on its sleeve.
