Oct 31, 2012I love this album. The synths add to their dark sound and I think that this is a good balance of guitars and keyboards. The first time I listened this record, I was a bit disappointed, it's completely different from The Back Room and An End Has A Start, but time after time I discovered that this album is really great.

CodyT.Jan 20, 2010IDK why on earth this record has been met with poor reviews and fan recption. This is their best album and Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool is easily the most epic and worthwhile thing the band has ever produced. i for one recommend this album.

Oct 24, 2011While I do admire Editors for experimenting and trying something different, this is probably a too drastic change for my liking. There are a few good songs like "papillon" and "like treasure" but overall the change of directions has not paid dividends.

Sep 27, 2010Cambiaron varias cosas, como las guitarras por sintetizadores, Tom Smith siguió cantando con sentimiento y comprobaron que no necesitan ser una copia de Interpol (como muchos los llamaban) para hacer buenas canciones, aunque pueden mejorar aun...

May 31, 2011This album is the third from rock band Editors, and for me, despite being decent, is my least favourite. "Papillon" is a fantastic and catchy anthem, which is possibly the best song ever produced by this four piece. However, there isn't enough on this album to support it, which is why to me, you would only buy the single as opposed to the album. Overall though, not too shabby.

Editors have crafted a bold statement of intent, one that hopefully suggests a continuingly bold future.
-
Their sonic departure won't be radical enough to put off fans, but the ultimate feel is familiar enough not to persuade any detractors. They may have taken a step forward, but they're still on the same street.

They’ve possibly succeeded in alienating the casual fan with the brief moments of nastiness that are here.
