RUB RUB RUBBA DUB DUB THAT'S THE SOUND OF THREE MEN IN THE TUB

[@JamesSmith-wx8mo]

Bahahahahahahahaa

[@RyanBile]

This is exactly how an album should open

[@amirjafari6032]

Exactly. But.. the album kinda goes downhill from there imo. Im kinda bummed at the lyrics this time.

[@RyanBile]

@@amirjafari6032 and I can get my Le Tigre fix from Kathleen Hanna instead of the from 'Model Village'. At least she gets name dropped in 'Mr. Motivator'. No; the boys really wear some influences on the sleeve with this album. Still a better listen than most radio stuff.

[@amirjafari6032]

@@RyanBile Totally just went down a Le Tigre rabbit hole after reading your comment. Damn Decepticon gets me hype and dancing around the house.

@@amirjafari6032 Oh man! Decepticon is blood pumping absolutely. Thank you for sharing your experience with me!.

drummer gettin his cardio in

[@pennylope8138]

He actually looks like he's lost some weight

[@tiagoguerreiro5937]

the guy is a beast. I'm blessed to have seen them live on the Joy tour. he spent more than an hour straight kicking ass

[@MrIhatethisprocess]

He hits them hard, no doubt, but looks like he's barely raising a sweat. See where he leans back early on? That looks to me like a guy hitting a groove and when that happens, it nearly plays itself.

[@isaintlikei4076]

they always are

[@manumichel1]

Love to see all the other members look at him like "c'mon, cary us"

[@walkedale1986]

drummer doesn't get enough love. He is pretty amazing

[@carriekmms]

I just saw them live in Columbus the other day and that's what I heard everyone talking about, how great the drummer was. And these were people who aren't that familiar as most came to see LCD soundsystem, but I went for Idles and God damn are they great live.

[@kevinspilker6622]

He looks like he’s being held hostage, but not exactly hating it either.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

okay those snare rolls at 1:32 are straight fire

[@youdoyouplayer8529]

So goddamn clean.

[@themovierad]

I’m 40 and I felt the same about hearing Idles for the first time as I did when I was 10 hearing Nirvana

[@prettyaverage97]

I feel very similarly listening to them than when I first heard Nirvana when I was fifteen. Pure ecstasy, pure adrenaline, a mix of love and rage. Love it

[@nordberg64]

So cool seeing just how locked in they all are at 1:37. Such a good shot

[@louisdfc]

Agreed. I can't get this track out of my head. The best they've made in my opinion.

[@dawsonnichols3166]

god damn they are the best band out right now, this is what punk is supposed to be

Frack lead vocals, lead guitars, in this awesome group the drummer is the lead man, plain and simple.

[@Jonathan-oe4tv]

Mark got himself one of them see-through guitars like John Dwyer!!! Nice

[@ezzong]

Ampeg

[@lucaserojas]

Yes! Made by Electrical Guitar Company out of plexi-glass

[@cinemaspire7258]

Jesse Keeler has one too but in bass form :)

[@JTRIV1029]

rezmar these aren’t ampegs, they have metal necks instead of wood

[@markjohnson7910]

Is it a Travis Bean? Plexiglass body with an aluminum neck. Very cool and rather rare.

[@ScooterBoots2]

Not many albums can kick you in the nuts on the first track like this. Sad I didn't find this group sooner.

[@krisk9147]

Favorite song off the new album. Such an explosive sound.

The mix on this is so damn good, it puts the BBC performance of this song to shame tbh😶👀

[@brianpierce7520]

Raw power on the drums. Great work by everyone

[@mongoose7cfc]

Totally sounded like a sword at the start

[@bw1955]

New fan here. Holy shit.. More energy, attitude, and raw power than most new metal bands.

[@BKJ-88]

Haven’t been this blown away by a band in a long time. So good.

[@JacobTurnbloom]

“BOOM, BAM, BOP, BADA-BOP, BOOM, POW!” That’s the sound of the Supa Hot Fire

[@carriekmms]

Something about the part where they scream invokes so emotion. Makes me tear up.

[@model_number_band]

The most impactful sound of war since Hendrix's "Machine Gun".....

[@mikebrodeur4156]

Exactly! Thank you for this bringing in this reference. I’m sure even Hendrix would be impressed with how intense this sounds

[@beanie1089]

Ive no idea how these guys arent catching on like Rage did. They play with the same honesty and ferocity. I get the vibe, not to be to main stream and to remain humble, truth telling vessels of sorts, so I'm not complaining about their renown. Just ma! So many people are missing out.

[@cotreerat9108]

a straight up wall of rock and roll! those guitars are dropping bombs!

[@MarcoMonguzzi-x8z]

This song is a masterpiece. Fresh and free.
