AMG Review of An End Has a Start
Margaret Reges
All Music GuideTo put it plainly, An End Has a Start doesn't have the electricity of Editors' first effort. And let's face it, The Back Room was a tough act to follow -- it was a damn near perfect debut, delivering a compelling set of cathartic, nocturnal neo-post-punk songs. The problem is not simply that there isn't a track on this release that comes close to the visceral, resonant power of "Bullets." The problem is that there isn't really a memorable moment here, period. And it's a big deal, because it makes Editors, for all their musical prowess, sound practically average. The lead single, "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors," charges out of the gate with pounding, purposeful drums and surging guitars only to stumble into a muddy, oddly forgettable hook, and "Bones," in spite of its needling momentum and affecting lyrics ("In the end, all you can hope for/Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through...Your face in my hands is everything that I need"), somehow fails to come to a satisfying climax. Editors are reaching for something here, but one gets the sense that they never quite grasp what they're aiming for. The inspiration and exploratory spirit found on the first album are not here; most of the material, albeit well crafted, sounds pretty safe. It's consistently moody, licked throughout with tame fire, at times not entirely unlike (forgive the comparison) something Coldplay might put together in their edgier moments, especially in the case of "Push Your Head Towards the Air" and "Well Worn Hand." Make no mistake: this is a decent album; it bears a craftsman-like solidity and many fans will no doubt be satisfied (and, more than that, happy) with it. But An End Has a Start is simply not the best album Editors are capable of putting together. Hopefully it's just a sophomore slump and not, in fact, the beginning of the end. [The CD was also released with bonus tracks.]

Track:Escape the Nest
The definition of "emo" has been the subject of countless inquires, arguments and late night, coffee/Ritalin fueled discussions. Hell, even local news is getting in on the dialog (Jenny Tatone, you know what I'm sayin'.) Is it strictly defined by mopey teenagers with eyeliner, nautical star tattoos, lip piercings and shaggy bangs? I'm sure Hot Topic would like to think so. Is it as vague and op...

The second track from Editor's new album is around the net (in case you missed the first one, it's right *"here":http://mog.com/1234chainsaw/blog_post/70543#write-comment*).And it's gorgeous. From the music, to The Voice, to the lyrics. "When you caught my eye, I saw everywhere I've been and wanna go" takes a place amongst my most romantic lyrics of all time. I don't have much more to say, I li...

I'm basically tongue-tied, but I should enter 10 words of promotional copy, so: hadn't cried to a song in a long time."You fuse my broken bones, back together and then, lift the weight of the world from my shoulders again...every little piece in life, will add up to one, every little piece of your life, will mean something to someone...you touch my face, god whispers in my ear, there are tears ...

"Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors," the first single from the upcoming Editors album An End Has A Start, has begun making rounds on mp3 blogs. A MOG search turned up no mp3 of the song (dustfinger1210 posted about the single), so here you go. As much as I hate to say it as someone who really enjoyed Editors' debut album, I'm quite disappointed. There are a few nicely swooping vocal melody li...

so here's my latest discovery... Editors. not sure if any of you have heard of the group, but I have to tell ya, I'm really digging the tunes. to describe it i'd have to say it's New Wave meets Dead Can Dance. Groon, I think they'd be right up your ally. It's very sit in the dark with a drink and a cigar and mellow out. Groon it reminds me of hanging out with you and Elizabeth back in col...

Words can't explain how much I love their music! I think they are one of the best bands live. It was actually a live performance that really peaked my interest, and I was thrilled to find that they were making their way to Vancouver. Tom Smith is totally captivating to watch in action. I'll rave a little more later... Like I said...no words! Maybe I'll be able to manage a review after the ...
