Bristol's finest post-punk polemics IDLES have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their debut album Brutalism they absolutely fulfil that promise, and a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, IDLES are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, they are a band that until now could only be truly understood by witnessing in a live environment - but with Brutalism it surely feels like they have captured the intensity of that live sound. Bottled up here are the abrasive, memorable lyrics of Joseph Talbot delivered with all of the spite and wry humour he puts across on the stage. Dedicated in part to the loss of his mother, who adorns the record's cover, and partly to a perceived decimation of society, from the NHS to public services across Britain, Brutalism is a deadly serious indictment on popular culture. Fresh from a sold out a UK tour and appearances at SXSW the band will be performing around the UK/European festival circuit including Glastonbury ,Reading /Leeds and Download festivals.

Idles are about the best band anywhere for at least the past ten years
Idles are about the best band anywhere for at least the past ten years. We can all pull apart each song piece by piece; but the long and the short of it is that this is an excellent album on all levels. Go and see the live show.; Idles will not disappoint; keep it coming - Bernie

Brutal
Loud, funny, sarcastic, brutal. P*ssed off with Brexit Tory Britain?..., then get this record. Best British "punk" album in a while.

A perfect antidote for the X Factor generation
The angriest album that I've heard since Gallows "Grey Britain". Full throttle noise accompanied by witty and acerbic lyrics. A perfect antidote for the X Factor generation..

A little bit of perfect
Nothing musically ground breaking- but everything works together so well it's a little bit of perfection. Clever but heartfelt lyrics delivered with passion , heavy sarcasm and anger over a wall of heavy hardcore post-punk. 13 good songs on one album. John Peel would have loved it.

I freaking love this album
If you haven't heard Idles, or better yet, seen them play live, what are you waiting for? Great album, great shows. Buy it and find out for yourself.

My favourite album of the year so far
My favourite album of the year so far. A great collection of tight, well written and often funny songs served up with a huge dose of sarcasm and vitriol.

A brilliant first album
A couple of years in the making, this is a great first album from the band. You cannot fault the emotion in every song. I have this on the car stereo on repeat, a sure sign that every track is good.

Been waiting a long time for an album like this
Bought this after falling in love with their later album "Joy" Was not disappointed. Every track is amazing. I have not been so excited about music for a long time .
