It’s like the whole album was recorded through a tin can telephone

I liked that first Strokes album (and still do) but I didn’t like the second one at all, nor anything they did after.

The new Idles album is great and really reminds me of this band & album (produced by Albini):

I knew you'd like it

And apparently so did Albini because he asked the band to be the opening act for Shellac on their European tour. I don't remember the exact year but it was maybe a decade ago. If I remember correctly the band had basically already broken up by then but went on to the tour because Albini personally asked them to join.

i wonder how many people on RM would have climbed aboard the Idles train and really started listening to them if not for jeff ament

If someone were to design a band with the aim of specifically repelling me, Idles is pretty close to what I'd imagine they'd come up with.

I mean, honestly now:

What band would you love based on looks alone?

Yeah, I just can't get into Idles. Nothing to do with how they look though, but I kinda take spenno's point.

Idles are fine. They look fine. The Angus Young schoolboy thing is objectively the most embarrassing look in rockn'roll history. Who cares.

I mean, honestly now:

Go shovel some snow, old man!
