In Dream contains a lot of surprises. Guitars are nearly nowhere and in replacement keyboards step up. These make the sound more electronic and poppier ("Life Is a Fear", "Our Love") , combining modern electronica with the '80s synthpop. The other half of the album contains a lot of atmospheric moments ("No Harm", "At All Cost", "Salvation"), something that Tom Smith manages excellently with his baritone voice and his falsetto effectiveness. I was not enthused with In Dream probably because I was awaiting for another Weight of Your Love. But looking it from my objective angle, In Dream is a great experimental piece of work to keep the Editors' machine spinning and making them hungry for more. Recommendations: "Marching Orders", "Forgiveness", "All The Kings", "No Harm"r
