It is rare to see a band so capable of great ideas make such tasteless music. As ever the vocals are again the weakest point here and feel just bland, naive and uninspired - NO very much feel like a dad band at this point. This is blatant from the very start - 1 opens up the album in a very cool way and then the vocals ruin it into a boring song despite a couple good things on the keys and a bit of distortion to improve things near the end. 2 really feels naive, and so does 3 after a good intro. 4 has a cute catchy intro, and the unfold after a minute is really good. 5 also has a super cool, inspiring even intro, and the instrumental really tries, but the vocals are just too bad for the overall song to suceed. We are also in 2001 by now; songs like 8 would sound impressive a couple decades earlier, but here they don't feel great (although 8 does get cool bits with some inspiring rhythmic plays and a now very rare glimpse of post punk around 4:10. 9 has cool synths, but again the song they make out of it is terribly disappointing, before 10 closes things with a useless song that feels completely disjointed. The bad counterbalances the good: 2.5

Bernard Sumner's guitar made a welcome return for New Order's first album in 8 years, and it
proved to be their most consistent album since 1985's "Low-Life". The band's real strength
has always been elaborately-constructed singles (as evidenced by the "Substance '87"
compilation) , but here, the quality of the high-energy openers "Crystal" and "Turn My Way"
inhabits the 8 other tracks as well. No mean feat.

"Crystal" starts the album off with a bang as it's the best song New Order has recorded in over a decade when it was released in 2001. The rest of the album delivers the goods as well, showing a spirited, reinvigorated group of musicians returning to their roots and producing some of their very best songs in many years in the process. Highly recommended for both New Order fans and newcomers alike. Also worth noting that Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame and Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream fame have guest appearances on the album, Corgan's in particular is excellent.
