Release date: 5 October 2009 (Co-Op) Lots of bands have ripped off New Order in the past. None, however, have done it quite this blatantly. That's okay though, Bad Lieutenant have a pretty good excuse - they basically ARE New Order. As you may have read, New Order bassist, Peter Hook, left the band in a huff sometime in 2008. Apparently things hadn't been great between Hooky and band members for a while, and the whole situation was all kinds of unpleasant. Upon leaving, he pronounced the band dead and, well, the remaining members seemed to agree. But rather than sulking about it, they went out and got Blur's, Alex James, to join them on bass guitar and formed a new band - Bad Lieutenant. The name may be different, the bass player may be different, but this sounds A LOT like New Order. Specifically, New Order-circa 1993's Republic. That's no bad thing. This is indie pop with just a hint of electronica running underneath the surface and the spirit of Manchester infused in its fibre. From the opening strains of Sink or Swim to the album's conclusion, this is probably the best record New Order have made in the last 15 years.

Tracks:

  1. Sink or Swin
  2. Twist of Fate
  3. Summer Days on Holiday
  4. This is Home
  5. Runaway
  6. Running Out of Luck
  7. Dynamo
  8. Poisonous Intent
  9. Shine Like the Sun
  10. Head Into Tomorrow

This is the best news I heard in a long time.

Talk about confused - sounds like the reviewer has no idea. How exactly can it sound a lot like Republic, and also be the best New Order album in 15 years? Speaking of Republic, since when was it anywhere near 'indiepop'? CTB :bear:

Alex James is a smarmy-faced twat though.

I'm not sure the reviewer listened to it - he doesn't discuss any songs and it's not hard to speculate and sound like you know what you're talking about by saying the album is like the NO album with the least Hooky on it. I still really like Republic anyway, so if he's right, that's o.k. by me

I thought exactly the same thing. I reckon it was written by the record company.

Only 10 songs and Barney only sings on 7 of them. Are we sure this isnt the left over tracks from WFTSC.

Great news indeed.

Ten songs is perfect. Im sure they wrote more but they were smart about it and only put the good songs on the album.

Cool news. Someone just needs to do some mash-ups of Bad Lieutenant and Freebass songs after they're both released, and boom! There's your next New Order album. ;)

It's a pity then that Get Ready and WFTSC weren't EPs...

Seems a bit strange that the single is out in 5 weeks and noone has heard the studio version yet.

Like the good ole days then, I dare say one of the radio stations will get a copy to play before it comes out. In the days of the internet nothing is safe once it's been aired (or leaked)
