I do think it’s amazing how I’m the space of a few songs I feel quite uplifted and optimistic with Danny Nedelko and then hit rock bottom with June. An album of extremes right there
Cool, I’m on the fence with the lyrics but the fact they’re addressing some very important issues in a matter of fact way is comendable (for me anyway). Yada yada yada hey hey hey hey
Can someone explain what a bag of Michael Keaton is? I’m assuming it’s a drug ref?
Coke innit?
Not heard it before but You can call it whatever you want I reckon.
If someone asked me if I wanted some Jack Nicholson I’d assume it was coke too.
Can someone tell me where Mary Berry was awarded her degree?
I wasn’t sure if it was actually referring to a bag of chopped up Michael Keaton. “I’m Bagman”
I really tried with this record, but the lyrics are such a stumbling block for me. I wanted to love it.
Well done.
Ahhh this has clicked and I am addicted. Best thing when that happens.
Bearing in mind the lyrical and interview mentions of jungle, and also the Pavement and Dylan references am I hearing a homage to this in Danny Nedelko?
193 (4) posts…is this album really worth that.
It sounds no different to any other album from 2008?
I’m having this experience. Reviews and recommendations suggest I should love this record, but it hasn’t been really blowing me away. I’d almost like it to.
Idles…are just a band
It’s good but I think I still prefer the previous album. The lyrics on some of the tracks are really grating and remind me a bit of Nathan Barley’s ‘edgy’ rapping. It’s a real shame because tracks such as Colossus demonstrate that they really can write excellent lyrics.
Listening to it now and I like some of the guitar work but a lot of the vocals give me that sense of irritation I get when I’m on public transport after there’s been a footy match in town and all the people pouring out of the stadium won’t stop cheering and I just want to get home and have a cup of tea.
listening to it now, the lyrics keep slipping between endearing and genuinely terrible. musically sometimes good, sometimes annoying.
5 or 6/10 seems more than generous
his pop culture references are also extremely weak, it’s kinda painful
did he just mention tom hiddlestone and harry potter in the same song?
sweet jesus
I am new to this band and have just started listening to JAAAOR (as no-one is calling it) and I would like to add my voice to those saying that this is absolutely and utterly fab.
Yes, I can understand that the vocals/lyrics aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but this record (with some moments being obvious exceptions) makes me feel alive. Love it.
