"Overall, Joy as an Act of Resistance manages to plumb new depths for Idles - that they've achieved another record in such a short space of time is admirable, let alone one that shines head and shoulders over the majority of their peers - and it certainly upholds their status as one of the U.K.'s most exciting new acts".

"Idles won't be for everybody: this isn't good-time, aspirational, radio-friendly pop. But for anyone in need of music that articulates their concerns or helps them to work through their troubles - or anyone who simply appreciates blistering, intelligent punk - they might just be Britain's most necessary band".

"The fun punks' second album is an instant classic, one that people will turn to in times of need for years to come".

"Idles' formidable album Joy as an Act of Resistance. lyder som om det er indspillet i en lurvet koncertsal, og det lyder livespillet, i ét spyttende nu, uden studietricks. Bare en vildt medrivende, crowdsourcet ekstase ... Idles er primitive på en sofistikeret måde, de udfræser hele tiden nye melodier og klange i deres rabalder. »I want to be vulnerable«, vræler Talbot. Og det er tydeligt, at deres kærlighedsakt er rå, men også nænsom. At deres angreb på kulturen også er et forsvar for menneskeligheden ... Det er de bumsede møgungers musik, klar til at mase al dårligdommen ud. Og det føles så vildt godt. Vrede. Væmmelse. Håb. Udfrielse. Og noget queer (...) Vi takker".
