Editors new album

CavanMaestro

Have 2 say very disappointed with it was hoping for a lot better. It seems that their first album the back room had everyone expecting big things from them.

Any opinions??

Haven't heard the album, but they played quite a lot of new stuff - maybe 5 songs - in Limerick last week.

I liked it, it shows that they're not afraid to try something different. While I'm a listener, I've always been of the opinion that Editors' songs all sound the exact fúcking same, so it's a refreshing change of sound for me.

I liked that one sound!

I'm provisionally disappointed, but will listen to it a couple more times at least before making up my mind on a first impression.

Given their unwelcome reputation of Joy Division rip offs, moving on to New Order does seem on the surface a lamentably silly move.

Man, I love Joy Division/New Order and I love Editors and that's not unrelated.

I wouldn't call them a rip off, but definitely say they've been heavily influenced by that band(s).

I personally think that right now it's the weakest of their albums. I'll fully allow myself change opinion with repeated listening, but fairly sure it won't.

I'd agree that it's the weaker than the other two albums, but so are most things! It's a big change in direction but putting to one side what they've done before, I still think it's a good record. Nothing amazing, but a solid, listenable album.

And forget indie credibility for a second, pappilon is a fcuking monster tune. Love it.
