After listening to the KEXP podcast of the Editors at SXSW, I completely changed my fickle little mind and decided to buy the album. I haven’t paid that much close attention to the lyrics YET, but after a few superficial listens, it is definitely exactly the kind of bitter, angry, plodding, yet mellow, kind of music I wanted to be listening to right now. It’s turgid…in a good way. Sweet.
