From start to finish, this album is a gem. Much better than 2001's 'Get Ready' (which sounded like it was trying to be New Order), 'WFTSC' is pure pop that you can tap your feet to, singalong to and just generally enjoy for what it is – good music made by veteran hit makers. Okay, lyrically this isn't a masterpiece (but then again, when has any NO song?) but you don't mind that, as the album varies from track to track, sourcing inspiration from dub, garage, electro and mainstream pop. There's not a duff track on the album and even the the most pop song on the album, 'Jetstream' (featuuring Anna Matronic from the Scissor Sisters) leaves you wanting more to tap your feet to... which the remaining song do with aplomb! The anthemic 'Morning, night and day', gritty, guitar-packed 'Who's Joe', the reggae-inspired electrogoodness of 'I Told You So' and the smile-inducing title track all prove that when pushed, NO can write belting tracks that dispel their reputation as an 80s electronic group. This is by far the best album for those who's been away from the New Order sound for a long, long time and being backed up by an amazing remixes album (titled 'Best Remixes' and coming with a similar cover to WFTSC) this is an album that puts New Order back in the hihigher echelons of British music making.Read full review
A good album! Not the best New Order album I've ever heard but at the low prices currently available well worth a listen. We get the opportunity to hear New Order sounding like they did in the 80's although performing new material. There are some real gems here for the fans of the original sound of the band.
