The Back Room is the debut studio album by British new wave revival band Editors. Their sound builds on early eighties bands like Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen, and was very well received by the critics. One of them nailed it: "The Back Room is a fine album that proves you can look backward while paving the way forward." The characteristic voice of Tom Smith, coupled with melodious songs, makes for a stunning debut. Special attention for Munich, Blood, Fall, All Sparks, Someone Says, and Open Your Arms.
