What a melody. Tom, you genius! Soooooooooo many great British bands, these guys are the best of them. And only 3 records in. I wish Australia wasnt 400 million light years away so they'd tour here often.
@gogolplex74 na ure wrong sir that's ONLY URE OPINION IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE JUST BECAUSE U SAY SO, EVEN THOUGH THEY SOUND SIMILAR THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT, i THINK INTERPOL BECAME MORE OBSCURE IN A WAY, EDITORS ARE QUITE MORE NOISIER IF YOU COULD SAY SO BUT EDITORS AREN'T BETTER THAN INTERPOL, THEY ARE DIFFERENT YOU COULD SAY THAT, SAYING MORE THAN IT'S ONLY URE OPINION
The Editors are very different from Joy Division- technically The Editors are more efficient, and musically more accessible, but I can see why the gain comparisons, and with Interpol as well, and it's not all about the vocals, but I think it's because all three are examples of bands who have taken a darker and more atmostpheric approach to indie guitar music- the fact that they can all sound so different only proves that it is an area that has no yet been well explored.
Why fucking people like compare editors with interpol, and tom with ian curtis, theyre different, tom smith is active than ian, i like joy but, i think that is just a good past, editors have been make his own way, tom is great singer. And i like, not like, love interpol but, Editors is not the same, they are better, editors in all aspect, live, cd, vinyl, in all the aspect, editors great band. Sorry my bad english, i hope you understand.
no tienen comparacion con ningun grupo actual, por mucho que la gente quiera hacer comparaciones con Interpol la banda de Banks no le llega a esta ni a la suela de los zapatos, y que conste que me gusta Interpol.
no comparison with any modern group, however much people want to make comparisons with Interpol, the band of Banks does not get this or the soles of his shoes, and stating that I like Interpol.
@ EspyerAZ: take the advice of darksthour1987. Editors (and not The Editors) and Interpol are awesome performers, Paul Banks and Tom Smith great singers and songwritters, Ian Curtis just a average one and a fucking communist/pussy on top..
I'm impressed by Editors' performance with this song!...Tom's got a particular and imho fantastic voice that fits perfectly Editors' sound...disappointed by the lack of high notes...
@EspyerAZ Why comparing Editors to Joy Division? Joy Division was an amazing band but sadley they doesn''t exist anymore. Editors are completely different in the way they sound and play. They're just fucking amazing!
@ThomasDW85 I totally agree with you,why even compare them,both bands are,were great,Editors are making their history,Joy Division are history.People should get over the past decades,not only the 70's 80's 90's were productive years in music,music nowadays is also great someways even better sometimes other times worse,his voice has nothing to do with Curtis,that's his voice people!!!
Right, so let me get this straight - no-one after Ian Curtis is allowed to sing that way?? Fucking bollocks. Tom Smith's sounds very much a natural baritone, he's not putting that on. Oh, and he's IS English. Who'd have thought he'd have sang in that accent? Deary me. An honest singer, an honest lyricist (far from being great mind) an all-round honest guy. I doubt highly he'd crave to be somebody else.
I have heard negative things about their live performances, that they not only do no justice to them, but they completely fail the band... hearing this, it sounds like a typical live performance: A GREAT experience for any fan, with slight variations you'll always hear in any music played live... I have have *HAVE* to seen them live now..
i love interpol but id have to say there are distinct differences...one you must be deaf to not hear his british accent(Massive SLURRING) im surprised no one mentioned this...
I love Interpol, I have liked Interpol for years before I ever heard of Editors... but I'd pick Editors in a heartbeat... They have that similarity in the deep bizarre voice and the droning euphoric rhythms... definitely the same genre and very comparable... but only comparable to show how Editors are FAR FAR FAR superior. This from the girl who only had Turn on the Bright Lights in her CD player and nothing else for 4 months.
I agree with Magenta. I listened to Interpol everyday and went to their show here in Chile, but I prefer the Editors because they have better presentations. Sadly Paul Banks doesn't sing very good live. He's out of tune in almost every song.
i just saw this band last week. they were truly stunning! singers voice is something you cant describe in words. it is beautiful! and this song. it gives me the chills everytime i hear it! incredible.
As far as the whole Coldplay vs Editors thing goes, I'd have to go with Coldplay. Then again, though, Coldplay and Editors have a totally different sound. Coldplay, for the most part, play low down soft songs, while these lads have a more powerful emotional sound.
I still like these boys though, don't get me wrong. I love their music, and this is one of my favourite songs.
i love coldplay,but i think editors songs have so much more diversity ,editors are the next massive thing waiting to happen, both albums have done brilliantly i love them nearly as much as my fav band the mighty tears for fears roland is the best song writer in the world.
aaah I wanna see them live in london!!! But since I moved to london recently I don't have friends who wants to come with me... I have to miss this!!!!
I absoloutly respect editor's fans(because i am one aswell), but what record sells, awards and popularity says, at the moment coldplay are the biggest british band.
Love a first listen :) amazing guitar - LOVE IT !!!!
