"I can only describe as... "Imagine Bloc Party meets Clarence Clemmons at a party and jamming ensues"... absolutely brilliant!"

Solid

""Antidotes" is not a masterpiece. It's not flawless, nor is it easily pigeonholed into a nice little genre. The lyrics are bizarre, and almost as cryptic as the made up musical laws the guitars to pluck away to. Dense. Solid. Chaotic. Rythmic. It was never meant to top the charts, nor will it ever generate poppy singles to play on your local radio station. However, between the almost aggressive, sometimes discordant vocals, and the dense jungle of math-y drums and guitars, one can find no seams. This is the most solid sounding record I have ever had the luxury of owning. Every little nook and cranny has been filled with it's own unique bit of flick and fuzz. It is the most beautiful, structured sort of noise that can fuel a party AND a deep, late night writing session simultaneously. Simply put, it's perfectly flawed, and Foals have made something amazing here, from start to finish. I eagerly await their compositions to come!"
