Well, now that I've listened to the full thing, I can say that I like it 
Although I feel Hooky's bass should have more place... sure it's there, but it's not what you hear at first.
But if this is a taster for the album, now I can't wait... 
Back to Basics.
The first things I always listen out for are Hooky's Bass Riff and Barney's vocals. Plenty of Hooky which is always a good sign, but plenty of scope for Steve and Barney's more dancier sound as well. Catchy as fuck chorus as well, and seeing as I'm listening to it for about the 23rd time, the verses are growing on me, but then again, I am in an elite band that loved Slow Jam and Rock The Shack;)
I hope this is a sign of things to come for the album. And please give us loadsa gigs. Please!
You said you aren't posting the full thing on here, but where is everyone hearing it? I love the clip. That and the press release have me very excited about the album.
Nice!
Can't wait to hear a higher fidelity version. It's a catchy tune indeed and a refreshing take on their sound.
i love it already!! Been tuned in to oui.fm since i woke up, i can't take the tension anymore.
Amazing! I'm very, very impressed, and frankly relieved!
It's classic New Order, but definitely not in a boring "classic Status Quo" kind of way, they've moved on from Get Ready quite confidently it sounds. It's exactly what alot of us were pining after in 2001 but got the patchy fuzzy rock of GR instead. Barney's finally gotten over his "guitar" phase begun during Twisted Tenderness and back into making great fucking pop music which is how New Order should always be. Any fan who holds Technique, Brotherhood, and Low-life remotely dear and doesn't like this is insane.
Krafty is an EXTREMELY promising sign of the forthcoming new album, and I've only listened to it twice. Great drumming, lots of Hooky bass, and the lyrics are so obviously Barney it just brought a smile to my face. Compared to hearing Brutal, and then Crystal for the first time in dodgy MP3 format it's safe to say I like this so much more. Brutal, let's face it, was pretty average, and Crystal was a mixed bag that didn't really sound "classic" until after a good few listens. I really can't wait for this album, as well as the single. Hopefully a new b-side on the CD5 plus Krafty really does sound like it has a shitload of remix potential. I just hope they don't let the Supermen Lovers, Armand Van Helden, or Sly & Robbie anywhere near it. *fingers crossed*
Do we know who produced Krafty? Was it Stephen Street or John Leckie? Being a huge fan of Morrissey's Viva Hate/Bona Drag LPs, Street's a genius to me anyway, but similarly I'm a huge Roses fan too so if it's Leckie that's cool as well. They chose massively well producer-wise this time around; Osborne is skilled, but I didn't really enjoy the overall sound he made with the band, it sounded too processed at times.
Cheers, Ally.

It was aired on the radio, that's where people got it...

John Leckie.
I feel this song is the logical thing after Here To Stay... seems to fit right in there.
Problem is, since when am I supposed to like a New Order track this fast? Let's hope it'll last!
A very nice perfectly poppy album opener. Now if there are some darker dancier tracks, then the album should be perfect.
Damn this county government computer I'm using for not having speakers...Goddamn it to hell!
This is the psychological equivalent of blue balls :(
I NEED to hear this, anyone wanna hum the chorus? 
Absolutely love it - I am seriously, seriously excited about the album now (especially the title track, after what Bernard said in the press release!)
Ok, I got it...
It reminds me of All The Way and Broken Promise and the Way of Life chorus...
This song could have been on Technique any time.
Already love Krafty so much more than Crystal (am I the only one who thinks that Crystal was pretty average?) Just can't wait until it's in the shops - really hopeful that the extra track will be another new song.
i love the instrumental bit near the end, before the last round of chorus' come back in...that wobbly noise, hookys bass, the drums...then bernard manages not to ruin it...perfect.

BLT i have just listened to this 1 minute ago and the BEST bit on first hearing is that WOBBLY NOISE.When i heard that i laughed and thought..THAT'S ACE!Can't make all the lyrics out yet but enjoyed the BASS but i am going for another go at the WOBBLY NOISE now.

I am sat here with this big smile on my face for two reasons:
I am listening to Krafty, and it is what I had hoped it would be. All the classic New Order ingredients here, some true Hooky bass (one or two of the riffs seem a bit familiar ;)) and dodgy lyrics.
I have managed to agree with Brian on something for the first time since he admitted to being a twat!

Check the other thread for the lyrics.
Sounds like it should come right after Fine Time.
Me likes, very Brotherhood-ish bass; Weirdo 2.
I like it.
But would really like to hear the full version. Where is the Saviour when you need him
