Editors and Muse

The latest albums from The Editors - In This Light And On This Evening and Muse - The Resistance are absolute proof that these two bands are currently in top form.

The Editors seemed to have channeled Brad Fiedel's Terminator soundtrack by way of Flood, which is a significant breakaway from their first two albums.

Muse surprises too with some prog-rock-ish stuff that deviates from their usual. The second half of the album is less radio-friendly but so much more ambitious and superior sounding. The result of their own production inputs I suppose. This album is the first self-produced album for the band.
