Customer Reviews

The new order of New Order
As Joy Division evolved into New Order, New Order has now evolved into Bad Lieutenant.
Every track is great, this album seems quite inspired, more so than the last 2 NO albums.

I think it's great that it's without record label meddling.

Barney's singing and melodies have never been stronger most of the album is, thanks to Stephen Morris, danceable, highly atmospheric, like a fusion of Brotherhood and Technique.

Peter Hook's "replacement" Jake Evan's vocals and Barney's meld well, a good departure from the female back up.

Bernard Sumner is and NEW New Order!
Front man Bernard Sumner, drummer Stephen Morris and guitarist Phil Cunningham have joined with Blur's Alex James for Bad Lieutenant's debut album. If you're a fan of Bernard Sumner/New Order/Electronic/Joy Division you won't be disappointed with this release. Think of this as a New Order release minus Peter Hooks booming baselines.

Very reminiscent of previous New Order and Electronic releases.

It's good to have them back after the breakup with Hook.

similar to recent New Order albums
If you liked the two most recent New Order albums, then you'll love this. It sounds very similar. I do miss Peter Hook's distinctive bass, though. That's the only thing that keeps this from five stars. Otherwise, the songwriting is well crafted, produced and full of New Order type melodies. I don't think Sink or Swim is the best choice as a lead single. Listen to a few other tracks for a better sampling of the album.
