Editors

[Numeric]

their new album is released this week, the single 'smokers outside the hospital doors' is doin the rounds at the moment, i've only heard it a few times, need to give it a proper listen but seems like a good track...

i bought the Editors first album when it was released a couple of years ago, one of my faves of recent years...

anyone else here into them? don't think i've seen anyone mention them before...

[SlavikSvensk]

i like them, but they're basically a ripoff of kitchens of distinction/chameleons/joy division, and interpol has already ripped off those very same bands. of course, editors are doing it much better than interpol these days, so...

[snooch]

Never heard of them, but if they sound like kitchens of Distinction and Joy Division, I'm interested.

[Numeric]

you should check them out snooch, their debut album 'The Back Room' is quality, must have listened to it a hundred times and that's no exaggeration, there's a line in the third track, 'if there's hope in your heart, it will flow to every part', i was in a grim situation around a year ago that i thought i couldn't escape and that line alone pretty much got me through the s**t...

to be fair they're much better than Interpol, don't feel the comparison is justified really, they do sound reminiscent of Joy Division (one of my favourite bands ever) but that's not a bad thing...

Interpol are ****ing awful

Editors however are total class. They have a real depth and honesty to their music, they are still quite young and yet show a maturity beyond alot of their peers. "The Back Room" is one immense album and i cant wait for the new one, "Smokers outside the hospital doors" is a quality track

They sounded great at glasto although i didnt bother going to see them, caught them live last year and they were one of the best live bands ive seen.

[Technobitch]

i really like the edditors, there new song is good too :cheese:


actually been thinking of buying their album

[Numeric]

i'm deffo gonna pick up their new album this week...

would love to check them out live at some point...

Interpol are ****ing awful

now they are.

turn on the bright lights, their first, is a great album, though it's highly derivative of the bands i mentioned above.

editors are also ok, but they are derivative too.

neither has anything on joy division or chameleons

never heard them, they're on 4music tonight

of course not, but i try not to compare people with people they are obviously influenced by greatly. If i did that, i probably wouldnt get past listening to anything other than The Beatles

[eyeswithoutaface]

went in at number 1 too boys and girls, so it had better be a good album!

[Numeric]

cool, they're deffo one of the best English bands around at the moment...

heard 'smokers outside...' a few times now, really feelin that track...

[Esox Lucius]

i hate them, someone having a smoke outside a hospital is the saddest thing they have seen in life? ffs middle class muppets. shit that song.

[Numeric]

listened to the album earlier today, it's alright, gonna give it a couple of listens before i form a solid opinion...

[SlavikSvensk]

i liked the first one enough to get the second album

[Numeric]

this second is a lot like the first, a few tracks jumped out at me which is a good sign, and there definitaly isn't a bad track on there unlike the Bloc Party album which contains a few 'skippers'...

[Esox Lucius]

i found myself skipping about 10 or 11 times on the latest bloc party album, awful.

[Numeric]

aye, Bloc Party fell off a bit with their second offering, to be fair the album grew on me, it's only the first few tracks that i skip now...
