from that review

When keyboardist Gillian Gilbert takes joint vocals on ‘Tutti Frutti’,

Is that confirmed anywhere? She's not credited as a vocalist afaik. I'd like to think it was true.

Edit: I read 'backing' but it says joint. So this is just flat-out wrong.heh.

MetroWeekly

American magazine and online website (obviously) seems fond of it too.

Really, really, REALLY poor.

I grew up listening to N.O. but, on reflection, I'd have to concede that they haven't released a thoroughly decent LP since Low-Life (30 years ago!!) & even that had a couple of Barney's trademark "Will this do?" stinkers on it.

Tellingly, the best songs on Music Complete aren't as good as Low-Life's worst ('nuff said).

No more. Please.

So, essentially, Rooksby (who grew up listening to New Order, don't forget) only likes Movement, P C & L and some of Low-Life.

HARDCORE FAN!

So they don't really even like most of New Order.

I really liked and agree what this guy said "the star of the show remains Sumner who, after 40 years, deserves a prime spot beside Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix as one of the best lead guitarist frontmen in the annals of rock history."

And our supergiant sings and writes gloriously. Yes, Bernard is assuredly as great as any one now or before, but Bernard is for now a silent star , not yet gone galactic
