Dec 8, 2022Very solid record is very chill and epic at the same time but is not so good líke their first records
-
Apr 8, 2021This record got way too much flak when it came out--no doubt audiences feeling whiplash from 'In This Light.' Years later, the qualities really shine through--simultaneously their most sonically diverse and catchy album.

May 20, 2014Boring, no inspiration, poor lyrics!!! People who like this album dont know what Editors were in the past. On this album, Editors pretend they are Coldplay... sadly! I can't stand this album at all!!! These guys need a break because everytime they release an album, since 2009, it seems they don't know what they are doing!!! One of the worst album of 2013.

Nov 23, 2013Played this in the car for the first time and thought it was pretty ordinary. Like other users once you get over the initial hump its a really good album.

Sep 11, 2013Albums as good as this are very rare. Stunningly brilliant. The bad reviews on this site are simply wrong. Go out and get it now you won't regret it.

Aug 19, 2013Very good album, much better than In This Light and On This Evening, some odd lyrics in a few songs but it keeps it interesting. I expected the worst after their last album, but this album is certainly no disappointment. It seems like they have gone back towards An End Has A Start and The Back Room, which were equally as good albums.

Aug 9, 2013The album is brilliant. It grows in you and then all the music becomes "edited". You should listen more than a few times. All the tracks have something to say except maybe "Nothing" that isn't so great. I will be more satisfied when I 'll see Editors live with the new songs (8/10)

Aug 9, 2013This album is great At the beginning i thought it was total crap, all this ballads were unnecessary and just didn't fit. But after a while i realised that Editors made something something different and something better. Their music is now more American, and i think this is the reason of so low reviews. For me one of the best album of the 2013, so far.

Jul 6, 2013Editors are on a steady rate of decline, and The Weight of Your Love only solidifies that decline. Either figure out what sound works, or give it up guys.

Jul 6, 2013I was surprised on how the ratings were for this one. This isn't like an excellent record The Back Room or An End Has to Start, but it definitely isn't like a bad record In This Light and on This Evening. I welcome back their return to basics, but it could have been better especially in the middle of the album. Highlights on the album are: Sugar, A Ton of Love, Bird of Prey.

Aug 28, 2013There are glimmers of the band that went before. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.130]
-
Jul 25, 2013There are a few thrilling moments here—notably the cinematic ballad “Nothing”--but the band mostly flounders as it seeks a new direction.

Jul 16, 2013No matter what mode they’re in, they manage to turn four-minute songs into small eternities.
