In This Light And On This Evening Preview

The new Editors album is up for previewing on iTunes. It sounds absolutely amazing.

And now some lyrics, as far as I can make out.

IN THIS LIGHT AND ON THIS EVENING
I swear to god
I heard the Earth inhale
Moments before
It spat its rain down on me

BRICKS AND MORTAR
No one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hands
Give a dog a bone

PAPILLON
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling...

YOU DON'T KNOW LOVE
With the moles and the CIA
They say more than you ever say
Headlights in your rear view mirror
A panther's eyes as he preys on fear
You'll hunt for love, you electioneer

THE BIG EXIT
Take and you shall receive
No need to ask, you already know
The way I feel inside
Once, crowd among the shadows
See how much our love grows
Reflected in...

THE BOXER
A bruiseful moon
Playing fights with the stars
This place is our prison
Its cells the bars
So take...

LIKE TREASURE
...meat
You'll become digested
Well, love, it isn't felt
Well, love is tested
Yeah...

EAT RAW MEAT = BLOOD DROOL
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her
I give a little to you
I give a little to him
I give a little to her

WALK THE FLEET ROAD
But you're a long way from home
Through the dark we tiptoed
The hospital looms
As we walk the fleet road
Hold your tongue...

BONUS TRACKS
THIS HOUSE IS FULL OF NOISE
All that noise
There in your brain
Won't give you peace
It says I won't let you go
Where there's rivers or townfolk
I won't let you see
Because you're safe here, safe here with me
Baby, don't go

I WANT A FOREST
Too fast to see
The shapes they make
Or how they run
Our little world right round
Aaaahh....
I'm in your garden
But I want a...

MY LIFE AS A GHOST
Get out of this house now!
Head for the horizon
Tonight we take a...

HUMAN
In your TV, human yet

FOR THE MONEY
Make to the fields
That are neighbouring your town
Take all you can carry
Play with the fire
And let the money burn
It only bought a laugh
(?) sincerity...

Album Review: The Cribs - Ignore The Ignorant


Album: Ignore The Ignorant
Artist: The Cribs
Singles: We Were Aborted (free download), Cheat On Me


"The New Fellas" and "Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever," the previous two albums from the Cribs, were both works of genius. But even with a master guitarist, Johnny Marr of the Smiths fame, this album does not reach the heights their previous efforts reached.

We Were Aborted
The opener is brought in with a powerful guitar riff, starting things off with a bang for this album. It's one of the better songs on the album, and a well deserving opener.

Cheat On Me
When I first heard this song, I hoped there would be better songs than this on the album. Nevertheless this is still a great track, with some great guitar parts and a chorus that makes you feel like singing along as Ryan Jarman screams "cheat on me..."

We Share The Same Skies
This song has one of the best choruses on the album, and is quite catchy. The album is still upholding high standards here.

City Of Bugs
A long track at over six minutes. It doesn't drag on, which is a good thing. It features an almost military drumbeat, and is a very new sound for the Cribs. A successful part of the album.

Hari Kari
This has to be the second single; it is full of greatness on all accounts, and the chorus is another great. "It was years ago, it was years ago..."

Last Year's Snow
At this point, the album looks great. But from here on in, it just drops in quality (bar one or two songs). This is not a memorable track at all, and I think it is the weakest on the album.

Emasculate Me
Except for a quick beat, this song doesn't leave a great impression. Nothing stands out as amazing here.

Ignore The Ignorant
The title track has a catchier feel to it than the rest, and the chorus is another sing-along affair, but the album hasn't picked up enough to be a success yet.

Save Your Secrets
A slower song, and a slightly better one than the previous three, but still there's nothing to excite me enough to want to play it over and over.

Nothing
There is a more powerful guitar part on this track, and that's the only really good part of this song. Parts of the chorus remind me of early Cribs tracks.

Victim Of Mass Production
This one returns to former Cribs glory. It flows fantastically, it was great live and they've made it great here.

Stick To Yr Guns
Well, at least they know how to end an album. A slow, five minute song rounds it all off, and it's one of the slightly better sides of this mostly unexciting album.

Generally, I'm disappointed with this album. There's nothing that excited me as much as when I first heard songs such as Mirror Kissers, Martell, Men's Needs or Don't You Wanna Be Relevant? But there are some good songs here, such as the opening quintet and Victim of Mass Production. Other than that, nothing grabs me instantly, and nothing shows signs of growing on me.


For the record, their previous albums: The Cribs (6/10), The New Fellas (8/10), Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever (10/10)
