New Order — Waiting For The Sirens Call

Given the resurgence of dancefloor-ready rock on mainstream pop charts, one might have expected New Order to return to the formula they perfected in the ‘80s. Instead, the band’s first record in four years proves that they’ve been there, done that and don’t need to go back. Waiting For The Siren’s Call is a further progression into the smooth pop realm explored on 2001’s Get Ready, with sticky guitar licks and sweeping melodies giving the music an infectious sense of buoyancy. Forget their iconic status — with this latest disc, New Order proves they're still one of the most vital bands on the planet.
