And the derivative “Bullets” monotonously covers the same aesthetic territory as previous songs, but, without a shred of creativity or punch, simply repeats the chorus “you don’t need this disease” ad nauseum. Besides Joy Division, the other obvious comparison of Editors is to Interpol, both of whom sing dark and detached tales amidst reverb-loaded guitars and squeaky clean production.

We recognize that evaluation of grant applications will undoubtedly require some human element, but such subjectivity ought to be minimized in the name of fairness. Such value judgments should only play a part in the development of these rules, which should consider, among other factors, the relative necessity of funding to the particular group in question...
