One of the most consistently ok releases I've heard in quite a while. It's always listenable and, occasionally, headbangingly so, but it will never have you levitating or make your jaw drop.
It's a testament to the immense emotional power of "dlp 3" that I can comfortably give this an 80 while having not enjoyed "dlp. 2.2". The former probably is one of the most beautiful compositions ever made, it's just sheer perfection.
My mental cycle for every modern post-punk record I hear:
1) "this sounds cool, I guess..."
2) "man, there are quite a few bangers here"
3) "holy shit, this album absolutely fucks"
4) *completely forgets the album exists*
Bring on the next one!

Even if held back by one-too-many lyrical mantras, Idles have never sounded more explosive and festive. Every tune would feel right at home on the soundtrack of some marching protest, with echoing chants and poised fists held heavenward.
