Editorial Reviews

Produced by Space and mixed by Adam Greenspan & Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Kate Bush, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Joy as an Act of Resistance. takes aim at everything from toxic masculinity, nationalism, immigration, and class inequality - all while maintaining a visceral, infectious positivity. Singer Joe summarizes: “This album is an attempt to be vulnerable to our audience and to encourage vulnerability; a brave naked smile in this shitty new world. We have stripped back the songs and lyrics to our bare flesh to allow each other to breathe, to celebrate our differences, and act as an ode to communities and the individuals that forge them. Because without our community, we’d be nothing.”

I found Idles when they were recommended after I listened to the band “Shame” (another great South End post punk band. Their message is what I’ve been waiting to hear and is much needed. There is a documentary about them, I believe it’s called “Don’t Go Quietly” that’s uplifting and inspiring as well aaaand they rock, catchy, tight hooks and killer beats, perfect head banging or just nodding along with

GOOD
• “Colossus” has a fantastic chorus, build up & heavy instrumentals mixed, with stellar lyricism, fantastic opener

• “Colossus” also has a part two to the track where the singer isn’t in the background this time but right in your face telling you off

• IDLES build up always seem to be worth it, with catchy choruses and heavy explosive instrumentals

• Bass line, guitar riff, & chorus on “I’m Scum”

• Phenomenal choruses and lyrics

• Lyrics are aggressive and unapologetic

• Reminds me of Misfits mixed with a little Pavement
• I very much enjoy the sarcastic air in the performance of “Love Song”

• “June” brings the quality of the album back to where “I’m Scum” left off

• “June” is a heart wrenching track with tortured vocals, with a thumping bass, heavy guitar riffs, & at one point a distant whistle to convey the emotional air of the track

• “Samaritans” is an excellent track about masculinity; vocals and guitar is left in the background until the chorus comes in center stage, here the idea was very well thought, just like the idea of man being emotionally involved and crying is pushed to the background due to societal expectations

• “Television” has a great chorus, positive catchy lyrics, & a fantastic performance, just what you’d expect at this point of the album

BAD
- “Never fight a man with a Perm” has a heavy bass line mixed with a vocal presence that feels like its put into the background, except in the chorus, very strange combo

- “Danny Nedelko” the distant vocals mixed with the distant vocals doesn’t engage me, very misfit-ish/70’s Rock

- The distant vocal/instrumental combination is a hit or miss

- The latter end or last 4 tracks of the album are good, but not as memorable as the tracks that followed

Lyric Review (out of 5): T1:4/T2:5/T3:4/T4:4.5/T5:5/T6:5/T7:5/T8:5/T9:5/T10:3/T11:4/T12:4

What a great album. Danny Nedelko is probably my favorite song on the album, but they're all pretty dang good. It addresses plenty of issues of today, toxic masculinity, immigration, and more. Even taking the time to redefine the love song.
