You can't share the audio files, but nothing can take away your right to READ about them. So since several people asked for it, I took the liberty of adding my own comments (in bold caracters) right before those of the band members in the list below, after listening three times to the album (BUT WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS):
Lordsy = Who’s Joe? (produced by New Order)
Me: Good opening track. Starts with synth waves, then an enigmatic guitar comes in. Not exactly a stand-out song, but not bad either. 90% of it is guitar-based. Not sure I'll be as enthusiastic in 3 years from now, but it's hard to say because almost every New Order song always gets better with time. Could have been on Technique. 7/10 Steve: “It’s a nice uptempo number, along the lines of Guilty Partner and Dream Attack. It came quite easily, it was deposited on earth fully formed, a lovely baby. And it’s got a funny clangy noise in it. My speciality.” Bernard: “It reminds me of Joy Division, it’s got that heaviness. Who’s Joe? Absolutely no idea. To me, it’s the story of a tramp.”
Road To Ruin = Hey Now What You Doing (Stephen Street)
Me: Sorry, but this just doesn't do it for me. I'm looking for a hook, for a melody to catch, and can't find any. A bit boring to my ears. 100% guitar-based by the way. It's not up-par with New Order standards in my opinion. A B-Side at best. 4/10 Bernard: “It’s fresh. It doesn’t remind me of anything we’ve done before. I was thinking of a lad from Moss Side when I was writing the lyrics.” Phil: “It’s got power and it’s instant. It came from my guitar riff idea, so I like it, and it’s quite easy to play.” Steve: “It’s daring of Bernard to try rhyming future and computer. I admire that.”
Waiting For The Sirens’ Call (New Order)
Me: Once again, a guitar-based track. Hooky's bass is predominant on this one, though. Unfortunately, the melody here is, once again, a bit poor. I just can't imagine the record label is serious about picking this song as a single. It just won't cut it! I see this as an ok album track, period. 6/10 Hooky: “Barney’s done really well with the vocals and the lyrics are really good. They’re about travelling, I think. It’s his yachting influence.” Bernard: “It’s my favourite track. The backing track’s brilliant, Hooky’s bass is fantastic on it. It made me crap it a bit, because I thought, If I don’t get the vocals right, I’m going to destroy a classic song. I don’t know quite what’s it about. Could it be about death? Or infidelity. It’s not about me in particular.”
Krafty (John Leckie)
Me: It grows on you. Classic New Order sound. Maybe too much classic New Order sound, because it sounds a bit like a reheated meal. Still a good track, and a good pick for the first single. 8/10 Hooky: “I was working with Hybrid, and wrote this middle bit of a track, and thought, That’s too good to leave there, I’m having that, so I asked them and they said, That’s fine. And it turned into Krafty. And it’s just great.” Steve: “It started as a jam, a bit like Lonnie Donegan. But then we put electronic noises in there.”
I Told You So (New Order)
Me: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? Not exactly your typical New Order track. It sounds exactly like it was made off the backing track of a typical ACE OF BASE song. Think of "All That She Wants", listen to those reggae-style synths, and you'll know what it sounds like. I guess this could have been another experimentation from Republic, like Times Change or Chemical were. I won't say whether it's good or bad, because it's too unobvious to tell right now. Very atypical New Order song! Bernard's influence is obvious here because I can easily imagine this track on an Electronic album. I guess most people on this website will not like it. 
7/10
Bernard: “I was on holiday on my boat in the Caribbean, tuning in a shortwave radio into all these mad stations. The beats were fantastic, really interesting. So I recorded some stuff off the radio, and used it as the inspiration for a song. I like it because it starts off with these dancehall beats and then turns into Velvet Underground somewhere in the middle, and I like both of those things.”
Phil: “It’s bonkers, isn’t it?”
Pop1 = Morning Night And Day (Stephen Street)
Me: Interesting electronic sounds for the base of the song, but overall, I find the result to be boring. No interesting hook or melody once again. Another lost B-Side. 5/10 Phil: “It reminds me of Primal Scream, the sentiment and the rocky Stones-y vibe. But it’s actually quite programmed.” Bernard: “That one is autobiographical. It is definitely about my life. My life as it used to be. Actually, it’s about Phil’s life.” Hooky: “Oh god. When you get to our age, the hangovers are so massive, they last for about a week.”
Minidisc2 = Dracula’s Castle (John Leckie)
Me: Great bass by Hooky to start the song. Once again, really sounds like New Order (as weird as it may seem). Unfortunately, it just doesn't make me vibe enough. 6/10. Hooky: “That started as a jam with me, Phil and Steve.” Bernard: “St Catherine’s, where this was partly recorded, was built by Henry VIII for one of his illegitimate daughters. It was a courthouse for a bit and I wrote lyrics in this room where people were judged and tried. It had an old fireplace, and was all lit by candles. It was a creative room but very spooky. That’s why Dracula’s castle is in there.”
Jet = Jetstream (Stuart Price)
Me: VERY BORING INTRO!...And, suddenly, the chorus comes in and the song changes completely. Very catchy chorus! Ana Matronic's vocals here give the song a very interesting aspect. Quite a poppy tune and, with a good remix, it could turn out to be a very interesting single. On the other hand, a lot of people here will dislike this one because of its commercial scent ("you are my jetstream lover, you are so good for me baaabyyyyy!!!! Whoooop!"). The album version lacks the punch it should have. 7/10 Bernard: “I must admit I was a bit dubious when Ana Matronic was suggested as a singer, but she did a fantastic job, really lifted the song. We knew it was a good track, but it needed something that we couldn’t give it.” Phil: “We were aware we had mainly rock tracks, so we consciously wrote something to dance to.”
Fast Synth = Guilt Is A Useless Emotion (Stuart Price)
Me: For me, without question, MAYBE THE BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM. This is a pure dance/techno track. I know a lot of people in here who will absolutely love this one with a passion! Those who hate the female backing vocals will HATE this one though because the whole track is based on repetitive female vocals who go "I want your love! I need your love!" in a cheesy disco way. Would have probably better suited the Pet Shop Boys, but could turn out to be a real New Order classic single. BECAUSE THIS HAS TO BE A SINGLE! It has enormous commercial potential. The song starts off with heart beats who culd have been ripped from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. The song lasts 5:39 and it's a shame it doesn't last for 8 minutes, especially considering the great jam that was starting at around 5:00 in the track with Hooky's bass coming in. Could turn out to be fantastic live! 10/10 Bernard: “A very difficult song to write, with a tortuous route to get to where it is now! I can’t categorise it, but loosly, it is a dance record. Get Ready had no dance tunes, which we were very aware of, especially after we toured that record in 2001. It’s important to keep the balance. Hooky: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
Turn (Stephen Street)
Me: Hmm. Okay I guess. Sounds a bit like Monaco. I feel it is somehow a grower, but for now it doesn't leave such a good impression. 6/10. Hooky: “We wrote this when it was miserable and rainy, and we wanted to cheer ourselves up!” Phil: “It’s very upbeat and summery”.
Working Overtime (Stephen Street)
Me: The second most interesting track on the album! GREAT ROCK n' ROLL ! Somebody compared it to Iggy's LUST FOR LIFE and it's quite right! It's a very entertaining track and it's very hard not to stomp your foot on the floor on this one! Good work, guys! Should definitly be a single in my opinion! 9/10 Hooky: “I think this should be a single. It’s dead rocky. I play it when I DJ and people go mad.” Steve: “I love this one because it’s based around my drum riff. It sounds a bit Stoogey, but it’s not meant to be. But most of music is thievery isn’t it? Sometimes I hear a song on the radio and think, This is good, is it one of ours? Then the red mist descends and I think, You robbing bastards!” Bernard: “I was worried that things were getting a bit flowery and melodic and chordy, so it’s great to have a track like this, with a dumb one finger riff. You should never forget that the best music is simple and you don’t have to be a great musician to make it.”
AVERAGE MARK: 7.5/10 GLOBAL APPRECIATION MARK: 7/10 (Too many weaknesses as a whole).
