As the vogue for re-releases continue, it’s time for Editors** to step up to the plate again with the single that kicked it all off way back in, erm… January this year.

It’s easy to understand why though and reasonably as simple to forgive, for ‘Bullets’ is a fine, fine song and the most original pop moment on their suitably fine debut LP. Indeed, sounding like U2 wearing mascara and big coats, singer Tom Smith manages to drop in the word ‘disease’ roughly 48 times but still make it all sound rather uplifting.

See them at a large venue near you soon…

Its an amazing song. The radio edit, however, was shit.

if the radio edit is the same as in music video, i was equally apalled - but i now prefer the sound of the newly mixed version, ace song either way!

They're being supported by We Are Scientists on the tour. Top.

Pointless re-release mind.

there are new b-sides and the track has been re-jigged, definately not 'shit all round'.

I don't like re-releases, but Editors are excellent and so should be forgiven.

i really dont want to join the crowd and slag editors off. im niether here nor there with them, but fair play to them. i will say at the times i have heard the album, bullets is always the song i skip. i was wondering have they re-recorded this so people buy it (this version isnt on the album) because they themselves feel rereleases are a cop out?? Good idea i guess but still...no.

Their best single, I reckon.

But yes, the radio edit sucks ass.

bands re-release singles all the time, its pretty normal, and i have no problem with it, especially when the song has been changed and gives you a chance to hear some new songs. eitherway editors are a top band.

easily the best song on the album, apart from maybe 'blood'. admittedly, it's a bit 'current' and all that, but their choruses are a lot stronger than a lot of their contemporaries.

Re: Editors - Bullets

i agree probably the most instant song on the album, been good both times i saw them, i agree not the most original band but then again who is? there's only so many notes for people to play with

This isn't a great song, and I didn't think they performed it that well on Jools Holland the other night either. Personally I far prefer Munich and Blood. It's also a re-release, which I don't think anybody likes.
