I've been listening to this album over and over on the way to and from work since the day it came out, which is a 45 minutes drive each way, and I am still showing absolutely no sign of getting bored with any of it.
The problem with some reviews of this album is that the reviewers get hung up on the history of some of the people in this band, and try to compare and contrast, rather than just enjoying it for what it is:
A masterpiece of an album that suits every mood, without one duff track on it.
Which is a marvel, in these days of people picking and choosing the one or two tunes from an album that they've heard on the radio.
Just buy it. You won't regret it for a second.

Bernard Sumner and New Order bandmates Steve Morris and Phil Cunningham return sans bassist Peter Hook (following the seemingly bitter and irrevocable 2007 New Order breakup) but with the additions of Alex James (Blur) and Jake Evans (Rambo and Leroy) as Bad Lieutenant. Hook let it be know that he didn't want the New Order moniker used without him involved and Sumner took the new band name from that old Keitel movie when he saw it playing at former Electronic partner Johny Marr's house.
The new album sounds a little bit like a blast from the New Order past ("without the bass," as Hook has observed). In a good way, it's also bit like Electronic. Reading the track list, you might think someone had raided Paul Weller's wastebasket during the Wild Wood recordings. And so what? As Sumner sings on Summer Days: "1993 was a special time for me."
Don't expect anything too new or different. "Head Into Tomorrow," sports not only a Weller-esque title, but an Oasis-like delivery from the band's second vocalist Jake Evans.
But for new New Order fans, especially those who can't wait to hear Sumner singing again, NEVER CRY ANOTHER TEAR may cause a few happy tears to be spilled.

Having heard the single"sink of swim" i have to admit i wasnt expecting much, but was pleasantly suprised by how good this album is, its a real "grower", and in my opinion is brenard sumners best work since his debut electronic album back in 1991,
i think the stand out tracks are Twist Of Fate ,This Is Home, Running Out Of Luck , Shine Like The Sun, Runaway, Falling Trees .
yes it does lack hookys bass, and there is a lack of synths, but there are some great melodies,

Very very poor.
This has to be one of the weakest albums I own. I've listened to it quite a bit over the last few months and I just dont get any melody out of it. Read more

Not bad (lieutenent) but not great
The songs are nice, it's competently cobbled together, it's a New Order spinoff... it should be great but it's just OK, which is even more disappointing than something that is... Read more

Probably a bit more consistent song wise than the last couple of New Order albums if a bit MOR.
