We'll likely see the "classic" New Order (i.e. dancey stuff) on the remixes and on a possible EP out next year in conjunction with Chemical Brothers (it wasn't finished in time for the album). But if you come to Get Ready with any sort of expectation that it's going to carry on from where either Republic or Technique left off, you'll likely be disappointed. Get Ready smells of both the Electronic and Monaco projects as much as it does Brotherhood, which would be about the only other referent in terms of the foursome's previous previous output solo or as New Order.
I would offer "Someone Like You" as the standout track on the album, for the reason that it's a pristine yet mature pop track of strong vocal harmonies, Hook's bass solos, Gilbert's incredible synths/effects, and Sumner's lost-boy mumbling--all in a slick, tight package. It's a step aside...with class. laz Martijn de Blaauw wrote: > Hi all, > Bought the new album of New Order ´get ready´ yesterday. > After 8 years of silence they still sound pretty good!! > Although it´s more of rockier sound they play nowadays, > it´s great to hear these guys again who have been such a big > influence on the (acid)house-culture (a bit of 313 here:) > Hearing Bernard Sumner´s voice and Hooky´s bassline again > brought back some great memories..aaah..the early days:) > try it, if you can!!!
