In Dream
If Editors\' guitar-heavy previous album, *The Weight Of Your Love*, was an interesting detour from the band’s musical mission, then this puts them back on synth-laden, atmospheric course. Opener \"No Harm\" beautifully pairs a pulsating electronic heartbeat with Tom Smith’s falsetto, \"Life Is A Fear\" is supreme brooding indie and the haunting “All the Kings” best utilises their stately synths.
In Dreams skirts a line of uncertainty between if the album is too over-populated or if the listener is too feint of heart.

It's overcooked and unashamedly melodramatic. Tom Smith still, at times, sounds like he's trying to declaim the opening line to Bowie's Cat People, an octave beneath even the Dame's am-dram delivery
While it still may not rank with Editors' finest work, In Dream is the sound of a band finally moving on and discovering new ground rather than dwelling on past concerns, and the better for it.
