Me or Joy Division?

Either way, you're no friend of mine!

Editors are OK and at least they do point people in the direction of their influences and get people delving into more Post Punk. Generally they do rip off Joy Division but I do like this track a lot which doesn't sound too much like JD:


You want to hear JD rip offs? Former Ghosts take the biscuit:

But it does sound like Elbow.

I recently went to see The Antlers, and The Editors were the headliners for the show. I wasn't impressed. I got their album In this light and on this Evening and wasn't a fan. I thought maybe seeing them live would change my mind but I stuck around for three songs and then decided to head home. I just don't see there appeal.

An end has a start is editors out interpoling Interpol, great track.

Have to admit, I loved The Back Room when it came out and while I wasn't too fussed on their other output I still gave it a listen. Just heard "The Weight of Your Love" which was release a few weeks ago, very disappointing even though I wasn't expecting much.

Rather than Interpol or Joy Division they now seem to sound like U2, and not even like the few decent songs U2 actually turned out when they were trying to sound like Joy Division.

Ok so I picked the chorus for obvious reasons, but Smith's voice, the lyrics, **** it the whole song sounds U2 inspired. Anyone else get that?
