Product Description

BBC Review

The best thing about the various New Order splinter groups to have emerged over the years – be they initiated during a parent group hiatus, or entirely on-the-side callings – is that they all sounded a bit like New Order. Because, basically, New Order were brilliant. Period. Even when reaching the dusk of their career, with 2005’s patchy parting shot Waiting for the Sirens’ Call, the Manchester band could still pull excellent singles out of whatever bag they kept locked away in the studio. Listen again to Krafty and, particularly, the album’s title track – they’re not solid-gold hits by the band’s own high standards, but the quality’s there to hear.

Bad Lieutenant sees New Order vocalist Bernard Sumner team up with Phil Cunningham – who joined the band officially in 2004, replacing founder Gillian Gilbert – and newcomer Jake Evans, who shares vocal responsibilities. Former New Order drummer Stephen Morris will man the kit for live performances, and can be seen in the video for this debut album’s lead single, Sink or Swim. The best aspect of said track: it sounds a bit like New Order, albeit the late-era variety rather than the one that helped define alternative music in the 1980s. And that’s both a blessing and a curse.

New Order still have a lot of fans, a side-effect of being quite so brilliant. And these fans will continually be interested in any new project that features the oddly detached-yet-delicate tones of Sumner, and Morris’s involvement seals the deal. But because of the impression left by records like 1983’s Power, Corruption & Lies and 1989’s Balearic-of-beat Technique, comparisons to the pair’s previous endeavours will forever precede evaluation of the material at hand. If you’re after evidence, clearly you’ve not read any of the above.

But, to briefly touch upon what predictably enough pales in comparison to anything New Order produced up to (and including) 1993’s underrated Republic: Never Cry Another Tear is a perfectly decent indie-rock album full of perfectly decent indie-rock tunes, which will find a home on the shelves of any halfway discerning indie-rock fan. A couple of duds – the dreary closer, Head Into Tomorrow, could have been omitted – can be overlooked because, well, it’s Barney. And what Barney likes is usually alright.

Assessing matters at that level of quality control, Bad Lieutenant don’t put a foot wrong. --Mike Diver

Well worth the wait. Better than 'Waiting for the Sirens' Call' and probably as good as 'Get Ready'. Usual excellent synth/guitar mix. If anyone like New 'New Order' then get this. Fans of 'old' New Order will find it a tad too polished and refined. Obviously I like both, old and new. Personal highlight is "This is home", which sounds excellent with both vocalists contributing their differing styles to the song. Also love Poisonous Intent, Twist of Fate and Sink or Swim.

I really think this one of new orders better efforts ......err hang its not new order really but Bernie Summner again proves how much of New Order is down to him.
This is a great album with some standout tracks such as Poisonous Intent and Ring of Bright water but really any fan will be more than happy with this.
They've even got a Hooky impersonator on bass what more could you want

SUMNER'S GOLD 22 Sep 2009
Format:Audio CD
I had a chance to listen to this album and all I have to say that it is a great album. If you like great guitar playing, nice synths and great melodies you will love this album. I liked Sink Or Swim, This Is Home, Runaway and many more, I don't think that thers is one bad song on this album. Bernard Sumner is a musical genius, he has worked with New Order, Electronic and Joy Division. After listening to this album
