Album Rating: 5.0

I love this album, "Plastic" especially. Way better than I expected New Order to sound without Hook (though I appreciate the reference to Monaco). They obviously peaked in the 80's but I've still enjoyed their recent music, especially Lost Sirens.

What is everyone talking about. These songs are great, and the band sounds fresh and modern. A solid 4 at least.

Album Rating: 3.0

Ya I'd love for 'em to do at least one more with Hook but man shit seems to have gotten nasty between those 2 parties

This is bloody great.

Get Ready is one of the all time great comeback albums. Classic band.

Yeah Get Ready is awesome. Crystal is prolly one of the best dance-rock-whatever singles ever.

Run Wild is an absolute gem of a closer.

It’s a guden for sure

Album Rating: 3.0

Get Ready is top 3 New Order imo

Crystal, 60 Miles, VICIOUS STREAK, Primitive Notion, Someone Like You, Close Range... man I love these tracks

Album Rating: 3.0

oh, and the b-sides/non-album cuts from that era are phenomenal too



Sabotage, Behind Closed Doors, Brutal... man they were on point during that era

Album Rating: 4.0

Brutal was the song that made me stand up and take notice of the band in 2000.

Obviously Blue Monday and True Faith were colossal tunes and World In Motion was everything back in 1990 but the band were of a bygone era.



I bought The Beach soundtrack and brutal stood out, it was refreshing and sounded so different to other stuff around at the time. Since then I dallied with best of’s and what have you but the band have recently become an all time fave.

Nice man, they're also in my top fav bands. I could name at least 3 songs of theirs that would appear in my top songs of all time.

Funny though, I never was a Joy Division fan lol

I was, but I certainly don't prefer them to N.O.

I actually got into this band because of a commercial for Waiting for the Siren's Call I saw as a kid. Obv commercials for albums aren't really a thing anymore but this was probably the last era of it and I was particularly susceptible to checking out what (i perceived as) new bands at the time, so I went & checked it out immediately.

Didn't even know about the JD connection until a year or so later, and having only heard the later stuff it left me pretty shocked

Album is underrated as fuck

105 quid for two tickets at the Ally Pally! World is fucked.

Rating is a disgrace dude. Album is class.

Album Rating: 3.0

Tbh it's probably my 2nd least favorite of theirs, but frankly that has more to do with the production than the songs themself - when they did this kinda thing in the late 80s, what made it special was the combination of heart & sleek electronics that didn't quite sound like anything else - here it feels like the "heart" part of things was edited and processed until it was just a homogenized part of everything else and it's just not so special as a final product, the songs themselves though are actually pretty sweet, love hearing them played live and all that. But even in comparison to Siren's Call/Lost Sirens it just feels lacking to me

Album Rating: 3.0

and i mean, it's still good imo, hence the rating, it just ain't a New Order classic to me

Album Rating: 4.0

That is a bloody good argument. I find that the tunes really propel this album onwards and upwards. For the record I didn’t get on with Sirens at all. Maybe I should give it another whirl.
