Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/702... __________________________________________ The Bristol, UK band IDLES have been on our radar for sometime now. We've been big fans, we've fallen off as fans, but ultimately - we're always going to check out what they're doing. They made their mark as a rageful, angry punk band who yells about political and social issues. BUT, they've clearly been trying to move away from that trope ever since they received criticism for having a savior complex on their record "Ultra Mono," which was more of an eye-roller than a head banger. "TANGK" sees them going in a (sort of) completely different direction, subbing in yelling about economic and political state of the union (shoutout Jaden Smith) and explosive production to singing about love over top of lush pianos and shimmery synths. It sounds amazing thanks to Nigel Godrich and Kenny Beats, but the slower cuts could have used some giddy-up, making it more of "headphones" record than one you'd want to blast in your car or see get represented at a live show. The Official IQMB rating system: 1-3/10 = dog shit 4-6/10 = yeah, whatever 7-10/10 = hell yeah IMQB SCORE 6.6/10 (strong yeah, whatever) as in, "do you wanna listen to the new IDLES record? Yeah! Whatever."
