    I want to cater for the haters: EAT SHIT!

    Love how blunt some of the lyrics are here, the band know they have their detractors but this song is a good riposte.

    I've never listened to this band before. Six tracks in, it's a little cheesy, but I love it. Musically, it's sick.

    A lot of the lyrics come off very cheesy and borderline pandering to me, def a few songs I could have done without but when this band has their foot on the gas it’s a great time. War is a hell of an opener

  6. Yeah the music on this is great, a couple of misfires lyrically but I suppose that's to be expected at this point. Otherwise, really enjoyed this.

    record kicks ass, I understand the complaint of it being a little cheesy at times but when it’s done this earnestly and with such conviction I find it more endearing than anything

    The best part of the album is that drum solo at 1:30 of War

    how is that person getting paid to write about music? I don’t care if someone hates the record but that is a pathetic piece

    Idles lyrics have always been a little cheesy, a little tongue in cheek.

    He quoted a tweet from Nadine in the last paragraph saying they aren’t doing enough to stand behind their message, the situation is directly rectified in the replies. Hit piece done in completely bad faith, shameful

    Grounds is an absolute fucking beast live. That guitar tone is just PERFECT.

    I've had little desire to go back to this after listening a few times, I'd rather listen to Joy or Brutalism

    Honestly resonates with me more than their previous two ever have. Makes me want to go back and give them another shot though.

    I'm the exact opposite, I've been absolutely caning this and there isn't a weak moment on the thing - I've even warmed up to Anxiety and KTWK, both of which left me cold on first listen.
