With all the hype surrounding the break up of New Order and the rise of pseudo-super-group Bad Lieutenant I didn’t really know what to expect from Bernard Sumner’s new band. So when I got a listen to the first single off the new record I was very impressed. Obviously it’s not as good as Technique or Brotherhood-era New Order but I would certainly put it up there in the same category as Republic. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the album when it drops in the beginning of October.
