I wouldn't say The Editors are ripping off anyone exactly. In fact, I quite like In The Back Room when I'm looking for some new post punk. That said, my criticism of the band would be that there is not a lot of diversity in their catalog pre In This Light; they were certainly not doing anything that could be considered original or particularly creative. In This Light just didn't work. I was hoping they would get more interesting, but they didn't. Oh well.
