I'm having good reactions from people I know who listened to the album.
i think we'll have a great summer "dancefloorwise"!
Guilt is a useless emotion has a tight timecode putting our ears at some
severe stress.
than again..it's so good
Posting this so late seems a bit of a waste as I am one of the few to wait until I had a "legal" way to preview the tracks (except for Krafty) - whatever that means.
From what I heard so far, I really, really dig the title track. That has to be one of the best tracks I've ever heard New Order produce. I also really like I told you so and Who's Joe, as well as Krafty. I told you so has been slammed in the press, but ever since the boggle remix of Ruined in a Day, I always felt that New Order could do a reggae type sound.
Some tracks have the feel of New Order/Electronic sound - not that there is anything wrong with that. They shouldn't be afraid to sound like New Order. One thing they don't sound is dated, which is great. A lot of other "comebacks" and 80's bands do.
Overall. 8/10.
Any one else got this problem?
On 'Guilt' from about 2.50 to 4minutes (& again at 4.47) the track 'skips' all over the place
that is listening on the WMP high version
To these ears KRAFTY is by far the worst song on this album!
I'd give it a 6/10 with all the others in the 8-9.5 bracket.
We should rate the tracks again - maybe in a week after everyone has had a good listen.
I haven't listened to all the tracks yet....mostly because it's so hard to get past the very first one, "Hey Joe." Is it just me, or does that tune rock like hell?

I'm having trouble evaluating Krafty because I heard it so many times before I had heard anything else on the album. But I have some suspicion that you might be right that K is near the bottom.
