October 2, 200915 yr Well, my curiosity got the better of me and I D/L ed it... God, what a fukkin' great record.... Where The Resistance is gloriously excessive and melodramatic, this is wonderfully minimalist and sparse.... Brilliant.. Everything I ever loved about New Order, The Killing Joke and Joy Division is on this AWESOME, atmospheric and just darkly GOTHIC and Avant Garde record..... Simply gobsmacking stuff... I've just heard it the once, but I can already see that this is one of the albums of the year... Editors best album, by an absolute MILE.....
October 4, 200915 yr About 10 listens in and it gets better and better - I'm in love with this album. Love how short it is, favourite tracks?? All of them are sensational - it honestly is so fantastic :wub: Think I'm really feeling the title track and Like Treasure at the moment.
October 7, 200915 yr . Love how short it is, Yep... Again, a case of a band knowing that quality over quantity is the better approach.... I really hate how a lot of bands these days just pad out an album with filler just to give the impression of "value for money"... I dont need an album to have 16 songs, about 6 or 7 of which are filler, or would be better off being on a separate "bonus disk" so at least you have the choice of whether or not you want to bother with it...
