Idlewild is a more down-tempo affair than its genre-splitting predecessor, but it wins points with stone-cold psychedelic soul classics such as "Mighty O," "Peaches" and "Hollywood Divorce."
-
MojoEvery time you think you've got Idlewild figured out, it zips off in a totally unexpected new direction. [Oct 2006, p.97]
-
Ambitious but flawed, at turns stunning, maddening and confusing, Idlewild is a curate's egg - but the good parts are implausibly delicious.
-
Deft, flawed, entertaining, thrilling, and disappointing, often at the same time.
-
UrbThis duo can only be measured against themselves and for the first time, it don't measure up. [Sep 2006, p.139]
-
The most frustrating aspect of Idlewild is its lack of energy.
-
Their well-honed flamboyance has finally given way to full-blown pretension, the lyrics that used to be an afterthought hidden behind a painfully contrived yet musically unimpressive ragtimey veneer of muted trumpets, shoo-bop, shoo-wahs and happily jingling vaudeville pianas.
