"IDLES' TANGK: A Joyful Steamroll of Love and Empowerment"

Idles' new album "TANGK" showcases a more musically expressive and nuanced side of the band, influenced by producer Nigel Godrich. However, the album still struggles with the band's unconventional writing style and awkward lyrical moments, overshadowing guest contributions from artists like James Murphy. The album hints at a potential for a more interesting and nuanced band if frontman Joe Talbot can let go of his stubborn approach, particularly in exploring themes of love and vulnerability.
