Whereas I - along with probably everyone else – was expecting Editors to pick up where they left off with their previous album, the one that launched them into rockstar mode, Editors don’t sound like Editors on « In This Light And On This Evening ». Or at least, not like the Editors we know.
The title track immediately immerses you into their new sound. Hardly any guitars, just minimalistic synths and Tom Smith’s deep voice. It makes for a very dark and depressing song. Next up is « Bricks And Mortar », another song that sounds like these guys have been listening to Depeche Mode quite a bit. And then it dawns on you… what if the entire album sounds like this ?
Well, it does. Besides being a very bold and daring move, it’s also a very good one. With « In This Light And On This Evening » Editors prove they have a lot more going for them than we would’ve ever thought. Don’t believe me ? Just check out that magnificent single « Papillon » !
Score : 8 out of 10
