  • Throwin' It All Away: New Order's Waiting for the Sirens' Call

    Apr 14 '05
    Pros: It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
    Cons: It stops just short of a Phil Collins guest appearance.

    Summary: Something’s amiss with New Order, in that, going solely by their latest disc (their eighth studio album), Waiting for the Sirens’ Call, nothing seems amiss with New Order. Long given to grim flights of irony, often seen parked on stage, ... read more

  • Still waiting for the Sirens' call? - YES!

    Feb 28 '07
    Pros: Pleasant, signature bass
    Cons: Forgettable, powerless, mellow, songs too similar

    Summary: In the 80s, New Order was one my favourite electronics pop bands around, and until recently I kept good memory of hits like Blue Monday. With that in mind and the supposed hype as printed on the CD ("best album ever"), I sort of stumbled over the latest ... read more

  • Solid, yet disappointing follow up from 'Get Ready'

    Mar 19 '06
    Pros: Consistent, all listenable tracks, clean production
    Cons: No standout tracks, lacks energy

    Summary: I am somewhat a fairly big fan of New Order and have always enjoyed their use of electronica and their knack of making classic pop songs. After an 8 year lay off, their 2001 'comeback' album 'Get Ready' was arguably their best in their 20 year career, ... read more

  • New Order...Waiting For An Average Album?

    Oct 06 '05
    Pros: Occasional glimpses of what the band could do.
    Cons: Flabby, padded, too much filler

    Summary: There’s been a renewed interest in New Order of late, tying in another and presumably final single release from “Waiting For The Sirens’ Call’ album with yet another plundering of their back catalogue in the form of another greatest hits package. Rather ... read more

  • New Order runs in place with "Sirens"

    Apr 27 '05
    Pros: Sounds exactly like New Order without pandering to modern music trends.
    Cons: lacks the innovation and strength of New Order albums past

    Summary: It's interesting New Order has returned in 2005 with a new album when almost every hot band with the word "The" stuck in front of it are aping their signature dance rock hybrid sound. The Indie Dance God's must be completely flattered that their sound ... read more
