 "...In the blink of an eye Idiom can change from a laid back sound cruising along with the likes of Incubus then blasts into RATM - esque with a metal edge. Idiom are a mixture of everything it seems and appealed to basically everyone in the Cavern tonight who cheered and danced until the very end of their set."  - Rockbeast.com Feb. 2006
