On Make Another World, Idlewild dare listeners to ignore them with thrashing tracks like the punk/disco mash-up ''No Emotion.''

Q MagazineThere's nothing radically different on offer, but fans will take heart from the sound of a band re-energised. [Mar 2007, p.112]

UncutThe powerful tunes make this an odd thing: a subtle album, fit for stadiums. [Mar 2007, p.83]

For Idlewild fans, especially of the older school, there is more than enough here to warrant a pilgrimage to your local record shop.

MojoSadly, there's little to propel them to radio ubiquity or challenge the Britrock big hitters, but then, maybe, that's the whole point. [Mar 2007, p.95]

A welcome change of pace.

Woomble... shows an innate inability to keep pace, vocally and emotionally, with the thrusting guitars, driving drums and push toward intensity the band bids for.

AlexMar 24, 2007More like the old Idlewild - not up to the standard of 100 Broken Widows, but a welcome and drastic improvement over Warnings/Promises
