Hadn't heard of them before, sounds pretty good

It's their worst album, although that's more of a testament to how good Brutalism and Joy were. My biggest gripe with Ultra Mono is how on the nose it is, although the instrumentals are amazing. War, Model Village, A Hymn, and Danke are my favourites.
yea tbh after a few listens i definitely think it's their weakest album by far, but still pretty enjoyable
the lyrics are the absolute worst part, Ne Touche Pas Moi made me wanna die especially
It's very telling the best lyric on it is the opening of Danke, which is a quote of a Daniel Johnston song, although that's part of the reason I love it.
yea, Idles always had fairly cheesy lyrics but it worked in the previous albums much better, im honestly not too sure what happened on this one
lol idles is like THE band for libs who are scared to go to underground punk shows who went "this means punk music will rise from the dead >: )" in response to donald trump being elected
glad to see the chapo abhorrent taste in music carried over from reddit
it's just fun music dude it ain't that deep
it's pretty funny you made an account just for this comment though lmao
i just found chapo dot chat and your post was one of the first things i saw. just thought it was funny because idles is like the most libtastic band
i’m glad you get some enjoyment out of it though
it's definitely very surface-level leftism but honestly i dont really see that as wrong, not every album has to be an mp3 of Capital.
Joy had a pro-immigrant song at a time when anti-immigrant thinking was popular, which is pretty great imo
