Sorry for the triple post but I really want to make it clear how good this is!
A post that I made on the Editors forum:
It's quite a brave move in my opinion.
It's quite a change from TBR and AEHAS. Not an absolutely dramatic change, but I would say large enough for the band to lose some fans.
I absolutely adore this album already though. I think it's stunning. Lyrics, sounds, everything - the band has progressed so much and it's so great to see.
It's definately an album that you have to listen to a number of times before you get a feel for it though, probably took me around 2 or 3 listens through before I began to fall in love with it.
Yes, most of us maybe would've wanted the typical Editors guitar riffs, but at the end of the day, if you want that, listen to the previous two albums!
Fantastic album and I'm really happy with the end product.
