Come on then, how confident are you feeling? By the way, I am including anything under the NO name, so that would include a Hooky-less NO (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!)

I think maybe one last album, it wouldn't be the same without hooky, but as they already have some songs done, they probably have hooky on them.
BTW has anyone else noticed on hooky's myspace he doesn't have an end date of his time with NO, but does for gillian.

Crappola, thank you so much for poking that into my attention.

ARRRRGGG!!!! Thanks for pointing that out AFTER I voted!
Well subtract one from no and add it to the yessssss.
Consensus seems to be that WFTSC produced one last classic--the title track. I always felt that it sounded like a swansong. It's unlikely they'll write anything better than that. I thought Krafty was a good effort at trying to replicate the old sound, but it got savaged by a lot of folks. I'm sure NO are finding it difficult to please themselves, let alone their rather demanding fanbase.
If no Hook, it's not New Order.
Let's hope Bernard does not turn "New Order" into a total joke...
They could go off and on for years. Their style has amazing staying power and I don't buy for a second that they don't enjoy the hell out of it.
I voted "yes".

Do you know what? I never even consider the fact that they might actually enjoy it.
They should just repackage the unfinished songs as Electronic's fourth studio album feat. Peter Hook (as opposed to repackaging Electronic's second unofficial album as "Republic") 
Without Hooky, it's not really worth it and I hope they don't, though even if they do and we get Republic Part 2, well, if we get just one track like Regret, it's not all bad...

Why all this mentioning of Electronic? In case you all forgot Electronic was Bernard and Johnny (Marr - The Smiths, if you remember!), not New Order without Hooky.
well ,,,,, how would bass king feel when news of recording surfaces in 3/4 years time,,, ah cant remember what the fuss was about,, so who knows.
one of the reasons they gave it a rest after 89 was th e effects ,sounds were all the same,, so time to move on.
this is the crisis i knew had to come.
I'd love them to do another album sometime - there was loads to cherish in Get Ready and WFTSC. Played "Singles" t'other day and "Crystal" and "Here to Stay" stopped me in my tracks - astounding 21st century popular music.
And I've said before how much I love "I Told You So" - a loping beast of a tune, mad brilliance - well Madchester as someone commented.
But to be honest I can't see another album.
Prove me wrong chaps please! Yer throwing something magic away here if you stop now!

consensus bollocks. what about turn?
They allegedly already have another studio album pretty much finished don't they? Recorded before the Hooky/MySpace saga exploded onto our screens last month?
So we're potentially talking about a new studio album beyond the Sirens' leftovers? It's notoriously difficult to predict that far into the future with them. Who can say if we'll even get the Sirens' leftovers at this point? Sisters And Brothers (?) last year in Lewisham plus numerous interviews prove they do have material languishing unreleased.
EDIT: how many question marks did I manage to squeeze in there

Turn is great, but I don't rank it as a classic. WFTSC has more of that feel; like a proper ballad. Don't think it's really bollocks to say anything about consensus; everything I've read on this board since spring '05 suggests WFTSC is the most appreciated track off the album.
I would love to see them do another album I would hate for New Order to leave us in the dark:( If they did I hope it will take off like hot cakes

Haha (when this post was typed out) it's a dead tie 17 yes, 17 no.
That basically says it all, nobody knows what the hell they're gonna do or not do.

Say's it all realy, they can't release the stuff already recorded without hooky's permission, and stuff without hooky, just wouldn't be new order.
Jack get your diplomat head on and get monaco back together, i bet you'd get some decent pocket money as second bassist, so it's in your own interest. potsy's a better singer anyway, (that's me getting a slagging off!)

The question was "will they record", then No should be the answer.
To the question "will they release", then the answer will surely be YES.
It has to happen sometime, they will release the left overs of the WFTSC sessions, it's already recorded, no need to have Hooky and Bernard in the same room for that.
That's the label's call really... it could be an EP, everybody would be happy.
