Make Another World is the fifth full-length studio album by the Scottish rock band Idlewild, released on 5 March 2007 through Sequel Records. The album is the first with bass guitarist Gareth Russell, following Gavin Fox's departure at the end of 2005, and is their first since leaving Parlophone. Vocalist Roddy Woomble said that the band "made a conscious decision to make a strong, loud, rock record."

According to the guitarist Rod Jones, the album references each of the band's previous albums, and is a "summing up of the past twelve years". The album was noted for its return to Idlewild's heavier roots, while continuing to maintain a strong sense of melody as displayed on more recent albums. Q described the album as "the sound of a band re-energised."

The album reached #24 on the UK Album Chart and, according to Woomble, has sold "40,000 copies, even though the record label effectively closed down just after it was released." "No Emotion" was released to American radio on March 6, 2007.

The album was performed in full on December 21, 2008, alongside their first album, Captain, at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow. In an interview following the gig, the guitarist Rod Jones said that the album - alongside Warnings/Promises - is his favourite release, saying that he "feels that we have become better at our craft as time goes on and I feel more confident in our song-writing as time goes by."

The album was recorded in the band's rehearsal space in Rosyth with Dave Eringa, the producer of the previous albums, 100 Broken Windows and The Remote Part.
