Not gonna read that as I’ve stopped reading negative reviews but lol, not the band’s fault the crowd was dead (which doesn’t necessarily mean they weren’t into it either)

After 2 gigs he has problems with voice?! The only times he lost (part of) his voice on previous tours is when he had a cold so I think it’s just some virus again. He sounded completely fine otherwise, just the very high notes weren’t there

About Rotterdam!
They opened with Heart Attack again. Tom sounded like he was kind of freestyling the vocals, making up alternative little melodies as he went along. Love it. Thanks to the pyros the photographers weren’t allowed during Heart Attack so I also got to see it properly for the first time.
Strawberry Lemonade was next and it quickly became apparent to me this crowd was not what this tour needs. I feel like lots of people just didn’t really get it. Not that they were standing there with their arms crossed like ‘wtf is this’, but … you’ve got to dance. Let go. Though I have to admit, that’s not easy when they play Karma climb (have to dance) followed by Picturesque (have to jump). Deadly combination, thanks a lot guys. Picturesque really is Editors 3.0’s Fingers In The Factories, what a monster. Meant positively. I love it. Would be funny (kill me) if they played those two back to back.
Magazine is the only Violence song that’s left on the setlist which feels a little weird. Vibe sounded great, but would have sounded even better if Tom’s falsetto hadn’t said: I’m off now, bye, sort it out. So glad he tried though, I love that song.
At a certain point someone pressed a button that goes “STRAAAAAANGE” which scared me because I knew Strange Intimacy was the main set closer so I thought omg no, are we there yet? But we weren’t, it was actually Frankenstein time. I thought the sounds Ben adds here work really really well, huge improvement. They pushed the STRAAAAANGE button again before or after another song which was pretty funny.
Special mention for Nothing because it was fucking beautiful, and much to my surprise the crowd was actually silent! No Dutch disease. We love to see it.
Near the end of Smokers the security people moved towards the crowd again, which means: fire. But the fire didn’t come during Smokers, it was for [distorted voice sound] STRAAAAAAANGE INTIMACYYYYYYYY, and we need to talk about that. Holy shit what a song. Last-song-of-the-set material. Papillon-like. It’s fucking awesome. And the flames only made it more awesome, even though they really stink yikes lol.
The encore was An End Has A Start – Munich – Papillon which you might think is nothing new, but aside from AEHAS having confetti (100% black), Papillon actually did sound rather new. It evolved again, and this is another song where I think the sounds Ben adds are a great improvement. It also sounds more live I think? As in, less backing track, which makes sense. The song got longer again, almost like in the TWOYL days I think, with Tom screaming SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP at the end. It was great to hear that again, I still vividly remember being completely blown away when I heard Papillon live for the first time back in 2013 ❤
So, “old” songs where I loved the new sounds: Frankenstein, ITLAOTE, Papillon, Sugar “old” songs where I didn’t hear that much of a difference (but what I heard was cool): All Sparks, Bones, Magazine, Munich, Blood, Smokers “old” song where I wasn’t too sure yet about Ben’s parts: The Racing Rats. I don’t know, maybe it was the sound, but it sounded a bit too full in a way, from what I remember. Nothing too dramatic though, it’s still a banger. And it looked very pretty with the sparks waterfall thing.
In summary, how did all of this sound, in one word: promising. We were missing Justin, Tom’s falsetto, 3 songs and a good crowd (for example, a Parisian one), but a show like this with those ingredients added? It’s going to be fucking amazing. I can’t wait.
