As soon as he starts singing,I get a feeling in my stomach and my hairs stand up on end. Everytime.

@GrunnenRocks

Their first 7". Arguably their best.

@Jazzybot

Perfect sound of British Indi Rock

@roryokeeffe111

Long time since I listened to this. I first saw them live, accidentally, supporting someone in Manchester a while before the album came out. This was always superb...

@D114BCW

2004!!!! Jesus where has eight years gone, still the best song in the world.

@TheJediBiscuit

Seen them twice live........ Simply Incredible....

@steevedaw566

Very,very, underrated.

@martinsklenar1445

You´re goddamn righ!

@muhgtra2sd

Editors are an amazing band classed as a special and brave band due to their vibe, so akin to Depeche Mode style and very different from the current alternative scene. I might even spot a new rock addiction concerning to the last album, something new got into their work indeed.

@curiositypiqued6573
