This is one of those bands that makes me say "what am I not getting here?". A ton of people whose music opinions I respect absolutely love them, but I do not understand the appeal at all. I've heard they're incredible live, so maybe that's the draw. But I feel like I'm getting lectured by an angry british guy when I listen to their albums. And I just don't find their songs all that appealing. 

The funny thing is they sound angry and in many ways they are but they are more angry at the system (like Rage) and their songs are more about supporting others, mental health, substance abuse, struggles, immigration, etc.

I can see how they wouldn't appeal to everyone but the song that got me hooked was Gift Horse.  Danny Nedelko is a great song and even better live.  But a song like Pop Pop Pop or Mother... I can understand those are harder for someone new to IDLES.  

Still love this video...

I love everything I've heard about the band except the music they make.
