So, New Order are back with their 1st album since 2001 and 2nd since 1993. When it takes you this long to make records, they really should be masterpieces each time out. Unfortunately, Waiting For the Sirens’ Call is no stroke of genius, it’s merely the work of a veteran band that knows its craft but has lost its creative edge. The most appropriate words to describe this album would be solid, workmanlike, and unembarassing - not what New Order was going for, I‘m sure. You’ll probably enjoy WftSC if you’re a New Order fan, but the band won’t win many new converts with stuff like this.

Buy album
