...States, after several months of growing popularity in the United Kingdom. Joy Division comparisons are already tiresome—it seems that every melancholy vocalist in a post-punk band is compared to the late Ian Curtis—but inevitable with Editors, whose debut offers an uneven retread of the sound, style and lyrics of their legendary Manchester-based predecessors.
