Waiting For The Sirens' Call - New Order

Postby beatschool » Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:23 pm

I downloaded the album last week and still can't quite get a feel for the album. There are a couple of good tracks, but nothing outstanding. Maybe I need a few more listens. I wasn't really into "Krafty" at first, but it is growing on me. I'm going to burn the album into my brain and hope I get more into it. I do like the "Krafty" remixes, so maybe this will be an album where I enjoy the remixes more than the album edits.

The Japanese release has 3 bonus tracks; 2 are Krafty remixes, and one is the Japanese version of Krafty[:D]
A freind of mine in Japan is picking this up for me.

I love New Order and I've listened to this album many times, trying to tell myself it's better than it truly is, but I can't convince myself. It's awful. It's a decent release as far as Britpop is concerned, but as far as a New Order album goes, it is t

While I liked it, I have to admit it didn't stay in my player for more than a few days. Perhaps I just need to listen to it more to really form a better opinion.

Well. thealbum will be released officially in the USA and Canada in 8 days, and I will see NO in concert in 16 days, but I just cannot get into this album, although it is marginally better than Get Ready.
I only really like Krafty, but can tolerate I Tol

... and still no more gigs in North America. NewOrder has made a swan dive and a triple double jump on the shark. Thumbs down[xx(]

I heard Krafty the other day but it really didn't do anything for me. It's not bad, just not good. Sounds like a filler song from one on their earlier albums. They should either bring back some of those early 80's keyboards or dive into a more updated

It's an above average album. However, it's a grower and takes a little time to appreciate and thoroughly enjoy. Be patient and keep listening it to often and I think you will like most of the tracks. Granted there are a few stinkers on the album, but I'd
