Fantastic album. The best Electronic / New Order album to date, only excelled by New Order's Get Ready. Moves on from the highly synthetic (but nevertheless pleasant sounding) debut album 'Electronic' and the subsequent Raise The Pressure to a much harder, rockier sound without loosing the sense of rhythm which appeals to me so much. Make it Happen with it heavy synth and guitar riffs is the highlight of the album followed by Prodigal Son, which is perhaps a bit too raucous, but features some brilliant guitar playing. Tales off a little towards the end with tracks which appear to carrying a 'message'.
Awful cover picture, quite likely to put first time buyers off, one does wonder what the reasoning behind it was. I would have knocked off a mark if the quality of the actual music had not been as good as it is.

i thought this was the best listen all the way through of electronic's albums. the title track ranks alongside the best of new order's output. i've read reviews here and elsewhere that suggested it was difficult listening, but i never found that. it is (at last) what electronic always promised - the dream fusion of the music of the smiths and new order.

I bought 'Twisted Tenderness' at the same time as the band's first offering, 'Electronic' and was struck by the contrast in sound between the two. Moving away from the drum-machine and synthesizer, Pet Shop Boys-influenced sound of the original, with its overtones of New Order's 'Technique', the pair have created an altogether less pop-oriented sound.

Having not yet heard 'Raise the pressure', I can't comment on whether that work marked a stepping stone on this transition. But 'Twisted Tenderness' offers few tracks (title track, 'Vivid' and 'When she's gone' excluded) which don't take some listening to to fully appreciate.

But this is one of those albums which quickly becomes a comfortable favourite.

Manchester music
From the confidently powerful extended opening of the title track to the final chords, this is some great Manchester music.

Good but not "Smiths" or "New Order" good
this cd is fun, it is brit-pop at its best.. but that being said, it doesn't hold a candle to even the worst Smiths track (but Marr without Morrissey is a bit like Monica Lewinsky... Read more

Best listened to loud, so everyone can hear pure brilliance.
After hearing 'Forbidden City', i rushed out to by, RAISE THE PRESSURE, and then realised i really shouldnt have bothered. It is true electronics efforts were half hearted. Read more

One or two good songs. The rest...
A portuguese newspaper said about this album: "Why do they bother? and above all, why to they bother us?". I think this is a little bit too hard, but also understandable. Read more
