Frontman Tom Smith is clearly still touchy about "living out second-hand cliches", but his band are finding their own voice.
-
While Smith & Co. may overuse a keyboard riff or two on In This Light, we shouldn't really let that sully this dark, majestic detour.
-
Brummie Rockers offer electro-led punch in the nose.
-
This third effort is trying too hard to innovate by, once again in Editors fashion, obviously borrowing from somewhere else.
-
The highlights are few and far between: Editors may have thought they were progressing by getting synthesized, but it’s ultimately a case of one step forward and two steps back.
-
Despite embracing their electronic influences with much gusto on these more inspired outings, though, the record's middle stretch feels both forced and forgettable.
-
Not even superproducer Flood (U2, Depeche Mode) can save the postpunk singer from misery. Or from overacting.
