I really love Gillian and her beautiful, streaming synths. They can be soaring, they can be melancholy. I didn't realise how much I missed them until she came back, I think she's what's been missing this century with New Order. That certain sound I fell in love with as a lonely teen in the 80s. Her synth sounds were an important part of that.
+Barry Robison Joy Division? Don't get me wrong, New Order is one of my favorite bands of all time, but Joy Division is like New Order with an extra sharp point.
this new bassist is real good and he adds some nice touches to the original songs. but man im gonna miss hooky playing with this band. so much more energy and presence.
+Yuuf Eternal with hooky theyre themselves if you know what i mean, they perform without thinking, hooky,s right in saying it,s not new order without him, but if he doesnt want to be involved why does he bitch so much?
+Yuuf Eternal Yes, you are absolutely right...It would be the same with The Cure without Simon Gallup...The new album is not bad at all, but the magic has disappeared...It would have been good if the band had splitted after Hooky's departure...Why the need to become some fucking dinosaurs...? It's better to burn than to fade away !!!
+Yuuf Eternal Totally agree, it looks like the energy is there in the songs, but it's missing the spark. Shame that the lads haven't sorted their shit out yet, as their music will never sound right, coming from an instrument, unless the hands of Gordon and Hooky are playing it.
+Stephen Schofield I'll buy these dinosaurs' music any day. Very hesitant about the new album but they put out a great work. Hints (and even a reference to Ian with having Iggy on there) of JD in there, early electronic, later electronic, and some new touches. Yes, even more cautious without Hooky being in there....he's gone, get over it. But STILL a great band, even with this lineup.

one of the most underrated 80s bands in the US. I put on several retro 80s raves on at the embassy theatre in Cumberland MD last year. and it's like people don't get the music and they don't move anymore.
There is NO better link, in 2015, to the 80's than #NewOrder. U2 is still good, but not their new album. New Order's new album is 80's worthy. A TRUE classic. And, the final song on this video, "Temptation," is SO good, if you are original fan.
Music Complete - loving it, works well as it is with this line up - in its own right, slightly sleepy crowd though agreed although it is a Maida Vale BBC studio with invited crowd etc.. ..thks for posting up...
+Dumme Kunst, I believe it is not easy to replace Peter Hook, but he has a unique style that can not be compared to Peter , who was always the soul of the band. Maybe the next record he finds his place in the band. Let's give a chance to the beginner . Hugs from Brazil.
I've loved you guys since the beginning and have everything that you have released! This new album totally blew me away!You guys still have it for a bunch of oldies! I even went out and bought a 61 sg so I could be a Sumner wanna be! I guessyou've done away with the old Gibson ES....And you have the best bass and synth player on the planet!
The Omphalos, in the Apollonian Oracle at Delphi, was the "navel of the world." The prophetess/priestess would enter a "mantic state." New Order is to music what the omphalos was to the ancient Greek imagination. Through their music we receive oracles, if not visions.
Joy Division was the genesis of NO. Ian and his creation of ceremony shows the transition into new wave. I can appreciate JD music but I can still rock to NO. its almost night and day, literally.
I don't get everyone in this commentary slamming New Order! They didn't try to be Joy Division and thank God for that! They went in a totally different direction after Ian Curtis's death, ushering a New Order of synth pop elevating it to a level it hasn't been and never will be since. so stop criticizing a great band! can't we just appreciate their differences and that they are 2 totally different bands?
For me this only comes alive with the new stuff. Like a fine wine, NO live matured and improved over the years, but seem to be going through the motions on the old songs here. New Lp, first great one they have made since 1989, would like to see them do Nothing but a Fool live. Their first great song since Vanishing Point.
