2nd studio album by Editors this time with Irish producer Garret Lee (credited under his moniker Jacknife Lee) is a very strong follow-up album. It shows a fine development in style with more shoe-gaze distorted guitars and keyboards creating a more spacious production. The tracks are stronger compositions and the album has no real weak tracks. I think, this is my favourite release by the band.
EDIT as of 2018:
I recently purchased a 2018 vinyl repress on PIAS. This issue appears like a repress of the original with little variations from the original print.
