Editors' 2005 debut album "The Back Room" was one of the most accomplished debut albums of the past decade (I call it the UK's answer to Interpol's stellar debut album). The 2007 album "An End Has A Start" had some good songs on it but overall flet like a rehash of the debut album's musical ideas, and not nearly as good. THat left the band with a dilemma on what to do next. Having seen the fork in the road, the band apparently decided to take a decided left turn, and emerges with a new sound.
"In The Light and On The Evening" (14 tracks--including 5 bonus tracks; 67 min.) couldn't sound any different than the first two albums. The electric guitars have essentially been abandoned altogether, and instead a synthesizer sound (not unlike, say, Ultravox 25 years ago) is front and center. Check out the dark title track that opens the album. "Bricks and Mortar" (2nd UK single) and "Papillion" (1st UK single) follow in order. It's hard to see the commercial appeal of those songs, but as compared to the other songs on here, they are the 'catchiest' tracks on here. This is a mood album, pure and simple, and if you're in the proper mood, this will sound great. If you're looking for another serving of "The Back Room", you're going to be mightily disappointed, so, truly, buyer beware. The original album, released in the UK last October, ran 9 tracks. The US version comes with 5 bonus tracks (This House Is Full of Noice; I Want A Forest; A Life As a Ghost; Human; For the Money), all of which sound in the same vein as the regular albums tracks.
I've seen Editors in concert a number of times in support of their first two albums, and singer Tom Smith always gives his 110%, whether he's playing guitsr or piano, seemingly getting lost in a world of his own. It will be very interesting to find out how the new songs will be brought live (I guess guitar-player Chris Urbanowicz will switch to keyboards?). Can't wait to see those guys again. Finally, if you wonder where you can hear Editors, check out WOXY (BAM! The Future of Rock and Roll), the internet-only station that brings the best indie-music in the country, bar none, and where this album has been played regularly since its release.

I am of the opinion that "In This Light and On The Evening" is The Editors' best album to date. It takes their Joy Division/Interpol roots and pumps up the synths while seriously downplaying the guitars. They also seem more engaged with the songs than on "An End Has A Start." And before you know it, I'm making comparisons to Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration." As devotees to the new new wave, The Editors have found a solid groove.
That much is obvious on the opening track. A pulsing synth may surprise the guitar fans of the prior two albums, but then Tom Smith's deep baritone lets you know that you've got an Editors album on the player. Then comes a big revelation; "In this light and on this evening, London's become the most beautiful thing." Smith's happiness meter has spiked up noticeably on this disc, to the band's betterment.
That's not to say The Editors have gone completely soft. "Raw Meat/Blood Drool" is a pretty disturbing number. That said, it also has a memorable hook, which is something that categorizes most of "In The Light...". There's an obvious effort to make bigger melodies here than before, along with catchy choruses. Make no mistake, The Editors aren't The Archies. But with this album, they've managed to match their passions with their song-craft. Already one of my faves for the year.

I give this 4 stars because it didn't knock me down at first listen like their past albums. That doesn't mean this isn't a good offering though. I am hooked on a number of the songs after a few listens. Tom Smith's incredible voice alone is worth 4 stars minimum.
Sometimes when a band makes a big change it loses casual listeners, gains some new converts and hooks people who are way into them.

not their best effort.... if its not broke.....
Dont try to fix it.... The editors were doing great with the style of thier first two cd's. This is a bid departure. Overall, the first third of the cd is very good. Read more

Somber synths create a dancier version of Interpol
Yes, the comparisons to Interpol are inevitable. They are from NYC, they play dark deep dance rock. Editors include more synths though, and that does serve to differentiate them. Read more
