No thread for the new Editors album?

[Bomber Denton]

It's been out a week now and I think it is epic, such a great move in sound for them. Opening track and Raw Meat = Blood drool are my top tunes.


Any comments?

[elster]

really?!! Epic?

I have to say I can't agree in the slightest.

Indeed, weakest album of the three IMO

Yet to hear any of it, but I've caught bits of a very retro ('80s) sounding track on the radio which had a faint whiff of Editors about it. Presume that must be the new sound?

Not heard any of it yet, but off to Hammersmith tonight to see them at the Apollo

That will be Papillon, very 80s inspired (I'm going by the popular 80s stuff, I'm a child of the 90s haha) and my favourite so far..but the album is growing on me the more I listen to it. But it doesn't stay in the car CD player long before the Temper Trap album is put back in

I've yet to make my mind up on it. It's certainly very different, Depeche Mode springs to mind.

I thought it was very forgettable.

However the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album and Wolfmother albums are out soon!!!!

Haven't heard the entire album, but I've got mixed feelings so far. Really like Papillion (catchy stuff) and don't mind the title track, though it's a little bit drab. Don't like Raw Meat = Blood Drool at all, the crapness of the song is only eclipsed by the crapness of its title.

Played it a couple of times and not that impressed yet. Maybe it'll be one of those 'growers'.

I was looking forward to the new album but was not massively enamoured when I first listened to it (albeit in the car with the wife, volume a bit low so as not to annoy her).
Now after a few listens I'm really warming to it, well most of it.
My favourite tracks are 'Like Treasure', 'Walk The Fleet Road' and 'A Life As A Ghost' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10jFu7Eileg from the bonus CD. Haunting slideshow someone's put together there. I've not seen them perform yet but I think this stuff will be even better live.

I'm glad they've gone a bit electro, they've done the pianos, guitars and orchestras, it's good to try new things.
