	Idlewild: Hope is Important: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Idlewild is a band that's been unfairly tagged "punk-revivalists." But while there are a handful of straight-ahead punk songs on Hope is Important, the band's punk attitude and throttle fuses with a more palatable rock modus operandi on the record's brightest moments.
		What truly sets Idlewild apart from the unwashed masses of wannabe punk bands that follow the yellow prick road paved by the Sex Pistols and the Exploited, though, are the distinct traces of indie rock influences-- from Husker Du to Superchunk-- that percolate up through their punkish rush.
		As a punk band, Idlewild is nothing special: they've got no political agenda, they're not ugly enough to use their social frustrations as fodder for songs, and they don't piss off government officials.

	Idlewild: Warnings/Promises (2005): Reviews
		The fourth album for the Scottish band was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck).
		Idlewild may still be figuring out exactly how to juggle its conflicting elements, but there are more than enough truly bright spots on Warnings/Promises to remind the listener of what the band is capable of when it fires on all cylinders -- and even when it doesn't.
		Idlewild continue to improve with each recording for me. While I was initially disappointed with this album the more I hear each track the more I fall in love with it.

	IDLEWILD
		While Hope’s positive reception was enough to rank Idlewild among the brightest of new, punk-inflected British bands, the group evolved naturally and quickly.
		The result is The Remote Part, a magnificent, 12-song album that synthesizes elements of its two predecessors into an expansive, strikingly assured new vision of the band.
		What The Remote Part is, on the other hand, is a passionately- and expertly-made rock album, by a group of artisans coming into their own at a ripe, old average age of 25.

	Idlewild - Warnings / Promises - Review - Stylus Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Idlewild’s debut mini-album, Captain, was furious and intense, it played at breakneck speed, disconnected, literate punk with an unidentifiable rage that was sourced from… from those first steps into adulthood when you realise that actually, you don’t have a place set at the table, you don’t have a slot to fit in.
		Their last album (The Remote Part) promised to propel them into the mainstream, replete as it was with slowly unfurling anthems (“American English”) and surging rockers that were built on melody rather than inability.
		Maybe the album’s a grower, maybe the melodies are slow-burners which worm their way into your heart and make you look upwards.

	BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Idlewild, Warnings / Promises
		Idlewild can still kick out a great song, just as they always have been able to, and just because the sound is not the same as it used to be does not mean that it is bad.
		Yeah, Idlewild have lost a little of their raw edge (although songs like I Want A Warning prove it is still in there somewhere), but the songs on the record are beautiful for what they are trying to be.
		Bought this album about a month ago I have to admit I was a bit sceptical from the outset, as I knew the changes that I had seen from even 100 broken windows to The Remote, and to be truthful after my first listen I wasn't all that enthralled with it at all.

	Auralgasms Artist - Idlewild - Bio
		Idlewild are beginning to record what ended up as their new album, the one you’re probably listening to now.
		In the end, Idlewild’s third US tour of the year had to be cancelled due to Rod Jones falling ill. But their brief summer sojourn in New York had served its purpose.
		Their new album is titled ‘The Remote Part’, and it is an auspicious piece of work, the work of young men who felt they had something to prove, and who via guile, instinct, a bit of luck and a lot of skill have succeeded, surely beyond anyone’s most optimistic expectations.

	TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: Idlewild: The Remote Part ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Both feature the odd good track, but on the whole neither is very noteworthy -- basically, Idlewild were a band trying to balance the fact they wanted to play punk music with the fact that their lead singer, the Dickensianly-named Roddy Woomble, sounded eerily like REM.
		Idlewild have now recorded a record that should not only banish the REM comparisons, but soon we will hear people saying that "[insert new band name here] are good, but they sound a lot like Idlewild." Indeed: they have risen to the level of something unique, powerful, and worthy-to-be-borrowed-from.
		If it isn't plainly obvious by now, I'll state it: Idlewild were clearly abducted and replaced by a group of people with a lot more talent.

		While the ‘Idlewild’ film had previously been described at the duo's attempt to emulate Prince's big-screen success, Big Boi said there's little of the Purple One's velveteen touch in the film - but there is a whole lot of Giorgio Armani.
		The album, due 22 November showcases a group of artists Big is dubbing his "Purple Ribbon All-Stars", including Sleepy Brown, Bubba Sparxxx and Killer Mike.

		Idlewild has never made a bad album, their song writing is intelligent and they have some great hooks.
		Their new album came out last week in the UK, I'm listening to an import and to my ears it's their best yet.
		Idlewild wanted it out everywhere on one date, but their label (Capitol Records) decided that summer would be good since their expected to tour the US around that time.

	Idlewild : The Remote Part - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Idlewild has only now become a group of musical statesmen.
		Their fourth album, The Remote Part, captures a divinely aged five-piece, an aware group of young men who are inspired by countless works of American literature while also influenced by their everyday life in their native Scotland.
		Two years on and several band changes later, the members of Idlewild have found what they've been searching for -- a beautiful calmness and a comfortable spot to reflect upon -- and The Remote Part flawlessly does the job.

	Idlewild - Warnings/Promises : album review
		With their last album The Remote Part, Idlewild threatened to become one of the biggest bands in Britain.
		With the huge success of The Remote Part, it was hardly likely that Idlewild would pull a Kid A on us - another album of equal quality and similar style to the last would be the best formula to renew their love affair with the press and public alike.
		Idlewild have delivered the album of their career, and are about to get very big indeed.

	Idlewild: The Remote Part - PopMatters Music Review
		However, whether the album connects on this side of the Atlantic remains to be seen.
		On the album's last five songs, though, the record doesn't quite manage to hit the same heights, and as a result, The Remote Part becomes merely a pretty good album instead of a great one.
		It may be the album Idlewild was born to make, but despite some spectacular moments, its momentum wanes a tiny bit as it gets closer to the end.

	A tribute to old-school rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Music: Idlewild album is a simple, old-fashioned throwback to early rock
		Stein aside, on the whole the album's biggest flaw is probably its lack of variety, especially with song intros and outros.
		If this is the case, Idlewild is musically on par with that schizophrenic guy at UV who yells at himself.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Sure it rocks (mostly), and Idlewild are a rock band, but it does not do much else.
		Hit single "American English" (yes, that’s the one whose entire second half is dedicated to two chords) marks a change from Idlewild as it is their first true radio song.
		As much as Idlewild mean(t) to me, 'The Remote Part' really is very average indeed.

	Gertrude Stein says that's enough
		Idlewild, though, is smarter, cleverer, and all-round better than that coat-tail crew, not least in that no one can accuse them now of chasing fashion.
		Their songwriting on that album was sharp, and so it's a bit of a disappointment that too many songs on Take Back the Universe struggle to remain recognized.
		Many of the album's later tracks do allow a bit more space in their sound (one of the problems with big guitars, incidentally - they take up so much of the sonic spectrum that other instruments are crowded out), but those first few tracks serve to characterize the album as a whole.

	IDLEWILD
		After a debut single and EP that drew the immediate attention of influential Radio One DJ Steve Lamacq, Idlewild’s first proper album, 1999’s Hope Is Important, was a document of their raucous live shows, amassing as much pointed riffage as four Scottish art students could muster.
		While Hope’s positive reception was enough to rank Idlewild among the brightest of new, punk-inflected Scottish bands, the group exhausted this concept naturally and quickly.
		But like the album, this song takes on larger dimensions as it continues, rising to an elegy for someone who is “young without youth,” who “contracted American dreams” and is walking through life in a haze of fatal illusions.
