    Editors will never get anywhere near the back room which was a very special album. This is the bands fifth release and it is another one that doesn't define who they are. I don't understand what they are trying to do anymore. There are two good tracks on this album, ocean of night and marching orders. A critic has described this album as Kubrickian. That is a disgrace to the great manEditors will never get anywhere near the back room which was a very special album. This is the bands fifth release and it is another one that doesn't define who they are. I don't understand what they are trying to do anymore. There are two good tracks on this album, ocean of night and marching orders. A critic has described this album as Kubrickian. That is a disgrace to the great man who's attention to detail was so intense it was scary. This album is no stand out and Editors remain in music purgatory for another year like a person who doesn't know who they are. 6 out of 10. An album that will be forgotten and make a hard quiz question in only a few months time.… Expand

    Very slow and unnecessarily long, in "In Dream", Editors are pushing themselves to create something big and visionary but they don't do it always successfully.

    Bold, occasionally baffling, and utterly unlike anything the band has done before. [Nov-Dec 2015, p.69]

    Unfortunately, it’s an LP which simply lacks reward... Both for listeners and, ultimately, the band.

    In Dreams skirts a line of uncertainty between if the album is too over-populated or if the listener is too feint of heart.
