Now that we have named the new album its time to review it

I know I put this in another trhead, but I thought this to be a good idea

Here Again? as reviewed by ENEMY Magazine

Well Here we are again another offering by those Macurian tossposts with a really long long history the songs are:

Forgotten Memories: a lovely slow number utilising the harmonica

Disco Dad: with some help by the Chemical brothers,classic storming New order disco although a bit slower than we are use to.

Still doing Drugs: a rather confusing tune with the sequencers changing speakers every 10 seconds

Diet Now: A song exposing the dangers of cream buns. with Sumner at his classic lyrical best with lines like "why did I eat you, why did I like you?"

Walk 2 : a nice sequel to Run this time fully credited to and co-written with John Denver

Sequencer Prozac Viagra

As usual with a New Order album, it drops off in the middle. The last 3 are New Order by numbers produced to blandness by Stephen Hague, with the signiture bass curiously absent. With only 7 numbers it is even shorter than the New Order albums of old. It may be time to give it away lads.

Here Again? Barely here more like it

Only joking of courese. I'm sure the uppy thing will be great.

Overall this reviewer gives it 5 out of ten. However as it is the first geniuine new New Order product in almost 2 years, it will be a world-wide smash almost selling out its print run of 3000 and reaching 50 ont the chart.

:D:D

Some more "reviews" would be nice.

Back once again, those plucky dads from Manchester to show us all how it should be done. But wait - there have been changes. Who would have thought Hooky playing sax would work so well? and Barney's wah-wah crossed with chic guitar solo's are inspired. New order go 70's disco and my god, it works!

Standout track: "Funky See, Funky Do"
