This review is from: Blood (Audio CD)

Of course "Blood" is one of my favorite tracks on _The Back Room_, and you likely have the album (or should) if you're considering this single. The Paul Oakenfold remix of "Camera" is good enough if you're into that sort of thing, but unsurprisingly a departure from the Editors sound. I suspect most fans will consider this for the video and the cover of "Orange Crush."

The video is... frankly, kind of boring, standard promotional material, and I say that as a fan. What you're really paying for is "Orange Crush," which is fairly faithful, but adds the angst-rock sensibilities of an Editors track like "Munich."

I'd give five stars to the music, but I knock it down to four because they could have included so much more value on a U.S. EP release (where they aren't bound by the charting rules in the U.K. which keeps singles at three tracks). You aren't getting "Let Your Good Heart Lead You Home" or "Heads In Bags"; you don't get the alternative version or the incredible Freelance Hellraiser remix from the previous "Blood" singles; you don't get the remixes from the 10" vinyl version; you don't get the recently-released digital-only remix(es). A little more value for us fans paying import prices would be much appreciated!
