Brutalism, the debut album by UK five piece IDLES, may not reinvent the punk rock wheel but is loaded with some of the most fiery performances and brutally honest lyrics I've heard in years.

check the review of the new album :)
THE BEST WAY TO SCARE A TORY IS TO READ AND GET RICH
I KNOW NOTHING, I'M JUST SITTIN' HERE LOOKIN' AT PRETTY COLOURS!
ironically the richer you get the more likely you are to join the tories :(
@@steveurkelfromgoosebumps1965 Not If you have strong morals. If earning money is enough to make you a tory, you were never opposed to them to begin with.
@@FRESHNESSSSSS That's not irony. That's a given. Those who love money, love the Tories. They'll fight for the rich to make sure they don't pay taxes, and when they have all the money they can get, then they'll take all yours too.
That's just the truth, not irony.
@@FRESHNESSSSSS yeah like Johnny Rotten and Morrisey. LOL
If you've ever encountered the reams of middle-class students in Bristol (where Idles are from) you'll instantly understand what "Well Done" is about.
Radcaster This
Can u elaborate then? I'm not too certain when I'll encounter such people.
Wamb0wneD 3000 do a Instagram search for rave on Avon watch 2 or 3 videos. Almost all of the people there are from wealthy backgrounds and are highly educated, yet carry themselves as if they had run away to live with the circus. Similar in theme with Common People by Pulp. Or at least what I get from it.
Nailed it.
I tend to refer to many of the Stokes Croft frequenters as Trust-ifarians. Used to be a cool and genuine place to hang out. Not these days
I honestly feel this is a 9/10
Anthony, please review my wife's son.
I want To be free not good
mine/10
Also known as Anthony's son
Dont you like him?
"Your wife's son, NOT GOOD" *explosion*
I find it interesting how you interpreted this with an American eye. Being british I guess and having it more cemented in our culture about use of sarcasm and tone along with language I saw some elements of this completely different to you. I always see Idles as unashamedly British, but it’s awesome to know it’s still reaching.
As an American born, but with a father from the UK, it's a weird culture shock. But Idles are definitely pretty bloody British
Idles are fucking pretentious, buzzword seeking private school boy punk. Play 4 chords and try and relate to the youth. Dad punk.
love this album. wouldn't have found it without your review. that's been the way for a lot of the music I'm listening to. thanks for bringing in the new and solid critiques!
fucking LOVE this album. Favorite of 2017 so far. The vocals are hilarious and blitz of guitars and bass is insane. It reminded me a bit of Future of the Left as well as some of Protomartyr's more unhinged songs. It's gonna be hard to stop listening to this one. "Won't last 5 minutes with A BODY LIKE MINE AND A MIND LIKE MINE"
Haha mine too. There's something in the water there, Idles from Bristol, Future of the Left from Cardiff and Girl Band from Dublin.
Stuart Ayers your spot on!
They're also the nicest guys too. Seen them live twice now, and I'm seeing them again at Download '17, going for beers with Joe, the frontman as well.
Brad Lawrence sweet. hope they come to australia one day so I can check out their live show.
joe w Hopefully, they've just played SXSW, and that seems to have gone really well for them. They're doing a lot of festivals this year, hopefully if things pick up for them internationally and they gain more online traction, then they'll come out, as they're well worth seeing, they put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Saw them a few nights ago in a small pub in Birmingham UK. The were awesome and only a few quid. They also run their own merch stand so they were chatting to people and signing cds, vinyl etc. Well Done boys.
Probably not doing that these days I guess lol
On the track Faith in the City (4:18 above) i think the singer Joe is definitely taking the piss when he says everything is ok because these people have found God. It would seem hugely out of place with the rest of the album to have a line like " Uncle Noel's got cancer in his lungs and his brain, I thought it would tear that man apart, Luckily, uncle Noel's got Jesus in his heart" coming from a warm, non-ironic place.
Exactly it's 100% sarcastic, he's clearly having a pop at religion and what he thinks is its failure to actually solve real problems I guess
@@toasty2833 no, that's completely false. Joe has said himself it's about the struggles of people he knows and though he's not religious himself, he finds it great that people can find such peace in it. Saying "it's very easy to have a dig at people's beliefs."
Jenn exactly, it’s overall about respecting religion for people finding happiness and hope through it x
'LEAST FAV TRACK: SLOW SAVAGE' why do you do this to me anthony? that song is beautiful
That song is pure emotion
+ Divide and conquer is all balls. That's fight your boss music.
GODDAMN WORST LOVER YOUVE ever haaaaaaaaad
I'm tired of seeing Fantano's shirts, I want some pants now.
You sure he wears pants?
NO FUCKING WAY YOU ACTUALLY REVIEWED IT I LOVE YOU
Talbot kicks ass- so much attitude, humour, aggression- I like the production on his voice too, distortion when he shouts... your impression of him is damn awful though- great review though

Nine Inch Nails EP was an 8 though.
7 is the new 6
NDR3 not good are those short reviews he does of albums he wants to talk about but doesn't want to waste too much time on. I don't think it officially replaced 0-2, but essentially it has.
Harambo That was released in 2016
Didn't realise these guys are from my home city! Bristol represent!!
i gotta say this Album caught me like a fucking Blitz ! 10/10 for me...best Punk i heard in years...makes me wann smash stuff, destroy SUVs and just go Bananas....which is great ! and cheers for bringing this to my attention ! love it love it love it
Hahahaha, same here! Makes you wanna ham!
"John Talbot"...
Joe Talbot. Not John
Recently checked this album out because of you, and I absolutely love it! Thanks for yet another great recommendation
theneedledrop. Two years since this review and Idles have grown into a band that just took Glastonbury by storm and have a massive following in the UK and Europe. Good for you for seeing something in them. By the way, in a recent interview Joe Talbot said "we are not a fucking punk band" and reckons they are a cross between garage, grunge and hip hop, what do you think man.
I think the combination of actual good punk music and songs like "White privilege", are enough to bring Paul joseph to tears. Maybe that way he actually wakes the fuck up.
Thanks for the recommendation, Antoine. Love this album. Who said punk was dead?
Thank you Needle Drop, for introducing me to what is now one of my favourite albums of my life so far. Ive gone through some crazy shit with this album as a soundtrack.
Divide and Conquer really slams live though
You make this band sound pretty solid Fantano. I'm definitely checking it out. I usually can enjoy punk as long as the vocals do not kill the music and production.
Got super lucky and this band played in my hometown in England on the day before the album release. If you think the album is energetic then seeing them live is a whirlwind. Phenomenal stage presence and all really nice guys as well!
Hey Banano will you review this new album from Remo Drive?
realitybites Next week
He better review it. The dude got me amped up for an album from a band that I've never heard of before.
Thanks so much for getting me into Idles! Love them now, they're fantastic
I love that you can tell on the facial expressions on your thumbnails if you liked it or not!
I almost skipped this because the title and band name look like something a screamo or metal band would be called, but that's not the case. I'm glad I checked it out.
I hope you've broadened your horizons since this comment
Just checked this album out by your recommendation. I love it, and it came at just the right time. Great energy - "Well Done" had me laughing.
I wasn't sure about this album to begin with but after seeing them as a support act live I went back and listened to this and I now really like the sound... 1049 Gotho has become one of my favourite songs of this year.
I think their lyrics are really clever because they're quite simple yet get across the message and just kinda act as prompts to the meaning without being too obvious and I love the sarcasm like on stendhal syndrome.
I think the album could have been a bit more short and sweet with a bit more diversity and a better conclusion but there are some great tunes on this!
... also, great album to put on full volume and let off some steam if you're in a bad mood!
Fucking love these guys, seen them twice.
THE most exciting band in quite a while.
Finally getting married this weekend with the love of my wife! I'm so incredibly happy right now, me and my uncle are gunna get married in San Francisco pier 39 you are all invited!
world of cheese OMG im crying😭😭😭I hope your love lasts forever❤❤❤best couple of the 20th century😫😫😍

world of cheese
You didn't give an event date
Jack of all Fades This weekend on Sunday starting at 6 o'clock!
Loved this album. Seriously amazing.
Easily my favorite album of the year thus far. Incredible stuff.
review the crashcourse intro track
Slow savage really grew on me. I love the irregular vocals, how he speaks or sings most words but then abruptly SHOUTS a certain word in the pattern
omg this LP is so so good. the lyrics my man....wow!
The intro scared me anthony
Most of time I've already heard the records you review and watch them just to compare tastes but this record slipped me by and sounds right up my alley. Thanks I'm going to check it out. Also you should review more metal this year. I'm feeling it. I need more but I'm very picky... forever
This album has been my fave if the year. Thank you. Wouldn't of known about it if it wasn't for this channel.
can't fucking believe you've reviewed these, absolutely class live band aswell!!
Ah shit, the guitarist Lee works at my university. Cool! 🐻
3 years later, I found this comment. Curious... what does (did) Lee do at your university?
@@ddifulco Funnily enough I now work at the Uni with him hahaa. So he started out in the estates team but now is teaching a performance module. From what I've heard, his classes are really fun and energetic yet very insightful
Conor Ross Harrington that’s amazing. Thanks for responding! Wish I had an opportunity to attend!
Conor Ross Harrington so he still works there I assume??? That’s cool...didn’t give up the day job
@@jokerhere4504 As he's now a hella famous rockstar, he dips in to do some teaching when he's in Bristol. For the record, incredibly nice and hard working. Shouts out 2 Lee
cranking out these high reviews like a true melon
Marek Rybakiewicz a true troll
Similar groups please. I'm in love with those guys, but I've played the album like ten times already...
Check out 'Sleaford Mods'. Different but same British anger, frustration and humour.
Also Slaves. Their music is not that elaborated but they sound raw and angry as hell. Check out "Cheer Up London", it's too funny.
Shame - songs of praise
I opened this comment only to find the exact two bands I was going to recommend already recommended ha.
Protomartyr in terms of instrumentation, somewhat of the same feel but not as intense vocals.
Review InfoWars
thanks for putting me onto this album so much man. wouldn't have heard it without you.
Anthony, I have a 6 page essay due tomorrow and now I can't stop listening to this. I think it's fair if you my essay now.
DEATH GRIPS: Worst To Best.... i dare you!
you gonna review that new Remo drive album fanton?
he will give it a 7
hecking frick you're right
Hey Anthony can you review kirk van houtens new mixtape 'can I borrow a feeling?' Think you would really appreciated his sound.
fantano, are you aware of this band called "creeper"? i think you should put their debut album on your radar.
YOU BETTER DO A REVIEW ON MILKY CHANCES ALBUM THAT COMES OUT TOMORROW
Thank you for reviewing this. Another fantastic record this year.
favorite album of the year (so far) and i probably wouldn't know about it if you didn't review it, thank you anthony.
thanks for telling me about these. my punk bands have been slipping past me and I've found a winner here. Ive even now got all there EPs. Great band. Thanks fantano
I got so excited for a second because I was listening to the video while looking at another tab, and I heard you say "Idles" and I thought you meant the Australian metal band "Idylls"
I bet my mum £5 you'd love this album and now my mum owes me £5
WELL DONE
yes my man
Why doesn't your mum like Idles?
Even Fantano likes Idles.
Great album, good to see you found it and reviewed it ...if you get the chance to see them live do it , saw them the day this came out in London, really good live band .....faith in the city is about how religion is used to control people when they are there lowest.....oh yeah review the new 'grails' album chalice hymnal , thanks
I love seeing the albums he reviews appear hours later on my recommended section
Saw these guys tonight. Fantastic performance, and lovely guys too!
I get that this album isn't quite a MBDTF or TPAB but I really didn't expect Mel McMelonhead to give this album a MYSCOREWHENTHEPU$$YTOOGOOD out of 10.
When you button your shirt all the way up, it makes you look like Billy Bob Thorton in Sling Blade.
really reminds me of mclusky, loved this album
Mclusky have some good shit
"Most violent dance floor on the planet" perhaps there is...
Blood on the dancefloor
Blaise Kessler nonono
I always loved this name. Then I checked them out. Ugh.
try the Micheal Jackson song of the same name, then :) one song better than a whole band's discography
Review PACKS already!
Thanks for these reviews Anthony! :^)
Helped me a lot to find a lot of great artists & Bands dude like Chelsea Wolfe & FKA Twigs 💗
FUCK YES! I was hoping you would do this one, but worried they would get the Girl Band treatment (I did not expect that).
Regarding the review, mostly agree. I saw these guys in their hometown Bristol a few months ago and I was instantly hooked and have been awaiting their debut with great anticipation. The energy and urgency is something I've been longing for for a long time. Regarding hooks, it's in their DNA, you'll hear it when you listen to their older stuff, it's a bit friendlier, especially the first EP Welcome. The Meat EP is right in between Welcome and Brutalism and is fucking great as well.
Divide and Conquer fucking rules though. The lumbering first part and than that ending. I might be biased though since it was my introduction to the band.
I was so surprised he didn't like Girl Band wtf
I know right, not even a review at all. I didn't get it at all
Hi Anthony, I came across the self titled Suicide Silence album which came out recently. After giving it a listen, the first thought I had was 'Needledrop would rip this thing apart' It would certainly make for an entertaining review
anthony and the futanos!
Talk about the new Gas album coming out in April.
Can't wait for the review of the new album
Thank you Brutethony Strenthtano for this review, otherwise one of the best bands I've heard in the last decade might have slipped under my radar.
*Review new albums by:*
WHY?, Hurray For The Riff Raff, and Spoon
If this was a review of just the first half of Brutalism, it’s a 9.5. ❤
i hope you'll review Depeche Mode's new album "Spirit"
Idles offend me in a good way
As pissed off as I am that gave into the temptation to listen to the leak, you are not going to enjoy Hot Thoughts. I was amazed by the two singles but every other composition on the album is nonexistent, it pains me to say (as a huge Spoon fan).
I thought collar buttoning was over.
Because they are from bristol they get compared heavily in the local music press to fellow bristol post punk band the pop group, seen them quite a few times live a great band!
Holy Shit cant believe you reviewed this! Love the band and as I'm in bristol I've seen them loads of times. Fucking crazy live. SEE THEM IF YOU CAN
this thumbnail is perfect
Damn the first 30 seconds already sold me on this lol, brb listening to album
probs one of my fav albums of the year so far these guys are mad live
Thanks for this, I needed something new and this is an enjoyable band.
Saw these guys at Reading fest and it was intense. Smallest wall of death I'd ever seen but also the only one ive seen where the whole crowd joined in
The Magnetic Fields 50 Song Memoir
Milo Stewart's transition is really coming along, isn't it?
These guys are great! Thanx Needle Drop! Reminds me of Les Savy Fav, Shudder to Think, WU YLF.
& Ikara Colt
Thanks for the recommendation antoine, these guys are fuckin amazing
This sounds exciting Anthony
review some mongolian throat singing
Hey Fandonii, Remo Drive just released their new album today. I figured since you liked one of the singles on a Best/Worst Tracks video a while ago you might give the whole album a review.
Hey Anthony, could you please do a review on either Nekrogoblikon or Steam Powered Giraffe, or both? Thanks for today's recommendation. Listened to the whole album today, 1049 Gotho was my favorite track.
You should check out All Them Witches Anthony, they're ridiculously good!
Am i the only one who actually cares About this album in this comment section?
Need to review the new Temples and the new Grandaddy record!!!
