Whoops, double post.



So... Editors... Yeah, well they're touring down under in Dec/Jan. Just because this album sucks doesn't mean I won't go see them. It would be interesting to know how electronic their new set is.

Indie isn't exactly my thing, but this sounds waaaaaaay better than Ferdinand's album. It makes me sad to see something as bad as that being released out in the world.

You're quite welcome to still review it Ross. The thing is, I am certain someone around here will like this album a lot. I'm just unsure who it will be & how much. The dark atmosphere of the LP will probably appeal to a few here & there. They will be the same person who also thinks 'Papillon' is the worst song on the album!

Harsh words vkeifan... And I cannot agree at all.



That's it Ross, I'm gonna kick you... likle a sleep twitch. Then I'm gonna make you run like the dude in the video. Wonder where he's going?

haha; seriously I can see this being on par with Tonight:Franz Ferdinand i.e. 2.5; nearly finished downloading it anyhow so I'll be able to get a decent opinion one way or the other soon.

Nope Davey, I'm Dutch. Shouldn't be too hard to tell by the surname.

Haha... How ironic, since I just spent 90 minutes watching the Aussies defend for their lives against Wesley Sneijder & Co...

Ross, I had forgotten you rated Franz's latest so low. I liked it a fair bit better obviously. And when you mean "downloading" it, you mean paying for it on iTunes of course. Just thought I'd clarify that for you.

Do you recommend me even trying The Xx Ross? I heard one of their singles on a music video show & it didn't really do anything for me to be honest.



That would be appreciated Ali. Just the breakdown of tracks per album will be interesting enough.

Hmm if you heard a song already and didn't like it then maybe not. Mostly the songs do sound very similar to one another and although it's currently a 3.5-4 for me, if you've already heard a song that didn't impress you too much then maybe just steer clear for now.

Getting back on topic I'm currently jamming to this, each track seems to go on for about 5 times the actual song length; have the Editors discovered relativity?

Thanks for the honest opinion on The Xx Ross. They looked really young in the clip & I sensed potential, but it didn't sound like it was for me.



Haha... Well, there are only 9 tracks on the album Ross, so they had to spread it out somehow. But you may be right, Editors may in fact be genius scientists!

Fair enough Davey, on another note if you are yet to hear Embryonic its streaming now and I highly recommend it (no matter what Sobhi says).

Album drags in a not very good way, probably worse than Franz after all.

Thanks for the reco Ross. I've heard the majority of songs casually, but definitely need to give it more of a detailed listen. And forgive Sobhi, he's caught the staff $hit-stirring disease. I still have on my special jacket that makes me immune to it.



Sounds like Editors are sending you to sleep.

No problem mate.

Gotta say its not quite "sending me to sleep", although that may be something to do with having shite-loads of sleep and waking up to three coffees. I'm currently finishing a review so after that I can give Editors a proper going over and get some thoughts written down. Depending on how long my homework takes (homework before reviews) the aforementioned review should be up tonight.

thats a shame. I kinda like Papillion though

The first 4 songs here reaaaaaally shine, I genuinely think that it'sa bit more chill and obv less anthemic than AEHAS but I certainly don't hate it. Some cuts are just plain dull though.

Looking forward to the review Ross. With a build-up of coffees in ya, it should be an energetic one.



GiantBoyDetective, it is a shame... & I also like 'Papillon'. I like it a lot actually.



Adam, you're not the 1st person to say what you have. Many feel it holds up through the first 4 tracks & then the slower duo in the middle sees the album run off the rails. That's a fair call I guess. I just wish the first 2 tracks were both a minute shorter.
