Idles

Back with a new single Mr. Motivator

I was wondering when this lot would appear. They recorded the next album last year thought with all the lockdown stuff they wouldn’t be back for a bit.

Excited for new material but not really sure on Mr Motivator tbh.

State of this

Is this from a new album or something? It’s grim.

it’s a bit AI generated Idles lyrics isn’t it

Well, I liked it. *shrugs *

It’s a big stupid, slogany, chant of a song isn’t it? Like a good amount of their tracks.

Don’t get me wrong, I love them dearly, but I don’t get as excited as I did when I heard Brutalism

I’m not sure Vasily Lomachenko fits well in a chant.

Not sure who I feel on the whole. It’s stupid as fuck but then there are thousands of bands who make similar music that is po-faced so I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Maybe the new album will be made entirely of song titles that are TV/film fitness people - Jane Fonda, Mr Motivator, Rosemary Conley etc

I remember I mentioned this before , seems their lyrics always go with either 'listing things’or ā€˜repeat but change one word each time.’ As someone who is reallly lazy/shit at lyrics I use those two techniques all the time, way easier.

I mean the last album was great and that had lyrics like ā€˜I’m sorry your grandma’s dead…ahhh lovely spread’ and ā€˜10 points from Gryffindor!’ repeated over and over

Everyone’s on bugle.
We’re being watched by Google.
Like Theresa May and Brian May pooing on a poodle.

Fucking rubbish.

Yet another Idles song where the drums, bass and production are bloody great and hit me like a rock. But then the vocals kick in and it sounds like he’s shouting a draft of Banksy artwork mixed with a ā€œhee-lay-riousā€ article from the October 2006 UWE Bristol Western Eye about what celebrity chefs would be if they were sea creatures.

5/10.

Not to worry, I’m listening to the new Jeff Rosenstock album, he knows how to do this kind of thing properly.

Now there’s a documentary

Don’t Go Gentle: A Film About IDLES

Anyone know why they’ve mysteriously disappeared from the 6music playlist? It’s only been out for a couple of weeks. Anything to do with the current climate of sensitivity??
