Wake Up Boo forty times? Excellent, I like Wake Up Boo, that's the one about sunshine isn't it.
I've just had a look at the artwork on Amazon and I'm not convinced, its very minimalist and New Order-esque but not great:
Ho hum. Did anyone read the interview with New Order in Q this month? Barney is going to be 50 this year. 50! Ageing is rubbish. |

It is if it means writing albums like Waiting For The Sirens Call

Yeah, but does he still have the coolest haircut in rock (if not the world?) |

Anyway surely he can't be 50????? I always figured he'd have been around 22 when Ian C topped himself just under 25 years ago....

He's going to be 50 next year according to this site which has a very scientific graph of New Order chart positions.

Is the new album really that bad? Surely even bad New Order is still quite good? |

It's definitely good, very much in the vein of their latest LP with a number of pop/rock guitars-lead songs. Now obviously if you were just into early80's NO... |

It's not really that bad no...... I just can't get pat song 5 in one listen cos it's just pretty dull.
Just my opinion of course xxx _________________ "fashioned by the blade of a world that doesn't care,

I liked Get Ready, I've been listening to it again recently. While we're on the subject of 80's electro pop....actually this is the Anthology thread isn't it....anyway, I bought the Pet Shop Boys Greatest Hits at the weekend. I've never bought anything by them before but there's so many top tunes on there. |
