Really love Superheated, a great closer. Other favourites are Stray Dog and Tutti Frutti, definitely a strong album based on the first listen.

The Game really reminds me of Hard Fi, vocally. Especially something that could have gone on the second album.

 

Unlearn this Hatred is a banging tune! Should be a single.

I'm still really enjoying this album, I think it's definitely their best since Republic and possibly even better than that. I'm now really intrigued to get the extended versions as I can see pretty much everything on here translating really well, New Order have always excelled at 12" versions of their tracks - particularly intrigued to hear Singularity, Unlearn This Hatred, Tutti Frutti, People On The High Line, The Game and Superheated... in fact, that's pretty much everything. :D

 

I'm still listening too. Side one is a winner for me (i.e. the first half) apart from Restless which I'm bored of now.

Unlearn this Hatred extended should be amazing! Would love a 12" of it.
I'm still dipping into this - People on the High Line is now my fave.

So I've found myself listening to this all weekend long and I really love the album in this form, it feels like listening to Substance where pretty much everything is allowed to build and flow perfectly. With this and the new Grimes album I feel rather spoiled music wise.

 

Oh and in my normal style, I've declared the correct track order to be:

 

01 Restless

02 Plastic

03 Singularity

04 People On The High Line

05 Academic

06 Stray Dog

07 Tutti Frutti

08 Unlearn This Hatred

09 The Game

10 Nothing But A Fool

11 Superheated

Dandy* kindly provided me with the necessary ones and zeroes and I had a listen to a few of the extended mixes this morning.

 

They really should have released the album as the extended mixes. It improves every song. Unlearn This Hatred had a modest extension and is wonderful.

Well I've finally seen New Order play live - they headlined Latitude last night and it was AMAZING.

 

It was non-stop sweaty dancing which totally wore me out. They opened with “Singularity”, played “Plastic” and my personal fave “Crystal” and ended with an encore power-punch of “Blue Monday” followed by “Love Will Tear Us Apart”. I am still buzzing right now!

They are one of the best bands live because they turn it into a dance gig. Perfect Kiss is always a highlight - the breakdown and build up is wonderful. The frog samples always make me so excited. I've seen them twice in the last 5 years and both times they did gigs that were up there with my favourites of all time.

Yeah I think I finally know what a nineties rave in a field would have been like. They played that and another fave was the Planet Funk remix of “Waiting for the Sirens' Call”. Like you say though - one big dance mix.

Have you seen the Chems live? That would have given you an idea of what a rave was like.

Nope, sadly not. When I was in my heavy gig phase they were in their We Are the Night nadir - but they have since returned to form so I def need to rectify that.

 

I have seen Underworld live in a field, and from what I remember it was absolutely brilliant, that was Bestival 2008 I think?

Definitely not!

 

And I'd happily add to the recommendations of seeing both New Order and the Chemical Brothers live, they're excellent!

Shouldn't New Order be in the dance forum?

 

Yes! :P :arrr:

No Ethan!

 

New Order do not make tracks with a verse/generic chorus/tropical breakdown pattern! 😃
