Advantages: Superb throughout

Disadvantages: None

It's almost unreal to think that this album came out over four years ago, such is the regularity I still play this.

Even more amazing is how many re-released singles it took for Editors to finally crack it into the mainstream.

Billed as Joy Division for the modern age, Editors are deserving of billing without comparison. Yes Smith's trance like style is very Ian Curtis like, as are his vocals at times, in terms of music though Editors and Joy Division are totally different.

For a debut album this has to rank up there with the very best. From the anthemic sounds of Lights, Munich and Blood for the openers right through to the atmospheric sounds of Open Your Arms towards the end, Editors provide a range of emotions and a rollercoaster of an audio experience. Whilst their following 2 albums have seen a maturing sound, I would highly recommend any newcomers to try The Back Room before other albums to really enjoy the Editors experience.
