    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
