Change A Winning Team and Reap The Consequences - TANGK Album Review

Badda badda bing, who is the king!? Joe Talbot definitely holds down the throne when it comes to catchy slogans.

In February the (post-)punk band IDLES released their fifth studio album TANGK. The Bristol group has gained a reputation of being loud, outspoken, and somewhat of a riot. I had the pleasure of seeing the magic of the unhinged live in De Melkweg in 2022. Their ear-crushing, distortion soaked, drumbeat driven, comical and socially aware repertoire blew the roof of the iconic Amsterdam venue. Imagine this energy fueled by a crowd that had just been released from the Covid-19 quarantine dreariness and you got the picture. Sparks generated from electrolytes, flung across the room as  they were catapulted from the sweaty arms that flailed among the crowd. This was my introduction to IDLES, so naturally I was excited to see the announcement of their new album. However, with reluctance I have to say I was somewhat disappointed – where did all the energy go?

            The previous 2021 release CRAWLER already showed us that Talbot’s rambunctious vocals are suited for more than just rough hard-headed punk. The opening track “MTT 420 RR” features his softer husky sound to recall the traumatic experience of a drug fueled car accident. A song that rang through my spine, as much as it did through his. But the album also granted us energetic insanity such as “The Wheel”. This shows that the band can certainly handle a broader range of energy and style in their discography. So what happened on TANGK?

            Essentially, it becomes clear from various interviews that the band wanted to move on from troubled pasts and focus on the love instead of anger. This is in fact very valid and I applaud that they embraced a more positive attitude towards life. However, it seems adulthood is kind of a damper on the sharp eye that made them relatable.

 Joe Talbot is somewhat of a lyrical genius, having a knack for finding the balance between confrontational social observations and a shocking sloganesque sense of humor. Producing pearls such as “I’m sorry your granddad’s dead – aahaaaha – lovely spread” on “Gram rock” and “Me, oh me, oh my, Roy. You look like a walking thyroid” on “Never fight A Man with a Perm”. And there has not been one moment on TANGK where I either felt the intensity of CRAWLER’s “MTT 420 RR” or found myself giggling like I did at the image of a walking gland. Except maybe on the track “Roy”, that features the most horrible guitar riff combined with rather lovely vocals. Yet, the song carries a seriousness and heaviness that takes away the humor in that awful guitar sound.

            On TANGK the band collaborated with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and Kenny Beats, who was also involved on Ultramono. And I cannot help but feel like Godrich’s influence seems to have taken over, which makes it feel like they’ve dressed up a street kid in a fancy outfit and started calling him sir. Make a deal with the devil and you pay the price. In this case the beautiful and subtle piano on the album’s fifth track “A Gospel”, seems to be paid for by the wittiness that carried the lyrics. This track showcases the band’s new direction through an imposing ballroom reverb guitar soundscape with additional carefully placed detail. Sonically it is very pleasing. However, the focus on Talbot’s poetry seems to have been lost, hereby removing a part of the backbone that carried the band throughout the years.

            Where Talbot’s lyrical escapades may have taken a backseat, there were always the bursts of aggressive guitar to pick up the slack. But these rough edges apparently also needed to be smoothed out. Tracks such as “Jungle” and “Dancer” hint at what could have been, but they simply don’t seem to reach the potential to scratch that auditory itch. “Gift Horse” and “Hall & Oats” come closer to fulfilling this satisfaction, but once again the lack of teamwork between vocals and instrumentals make it difficult for the song to bring on that feeling of wanting to punch a wall out of excitement. “IDEA 01” provided us with an unintentional shout-out to the 2013 Bastille hit. What exactly did we loose in the fire, Talbot? The introduction of the song certainly catches a mood, but this cord is cut as soon as the vocals join in.

It’s these kind of lyrical clichés throughout the album that ignite a feeling of disappointment. This in combination with the flattening out of their rough sound makes the album very anti-climactic. Talbot mentioned in an interview that a masterworks such as Radiohead’s Kid A always seemed unattainable, but that it turned out that you just need the right producer… I have to disagree. There has to be a certain match between reality and vision. IDLES had a vision, but forgot to check their reality. The reality that their strength lies in the energy they generate with sudden rough-edged outbursts, may it be guitars, synth, drums or catchy slogans. Ending your album with a singled out sax and bird noises does not make you Radiohead… If only.
