The embed doesn't work for me but I see the YT link when I reply. Here's another from The Needle Drop, who I usually quite like, 7/10:

Another stunning 1 star review from off of Amazon...

Quote:
Really, really, REALLY poor.

I grew up listening to N.O. but, on reflection, I'd have to concede that they haven't released a thoroughly decent LP since Low-Life (30 years ago!!) & even that had a couple of Barney's trademark "Will this do?" stinkers on it.

Tellingly, the best songs on Music Complete aren't as good as Low-Life's worst ('nuff said).

No more. Please.


So, essentially, Rooksby (who grew up listening to New Order, don't forget) only likes Movement, P C & L and some of Low-Life.

HARDCORE FAN!

I'm not their manager.

I was introduced to Mr. Robinson by JG a few years back. JG described me as "The biggest New Order fan in L.A". I've never lived there. JG was smashed!

Another anecdote: In 1993 I saw Rob Gretton hanging around the soundboard before the Mountain View show. I thanked him and said he was doing a great job. He just smiled at me through teeth clenching a cigar. A couple of days later, I saw him right after the Hollywood Bowl gig (tickets courtesy of Tom Atencio). I didn't approach him as I couldn't think of anything positive to say (easily their worst tour). I still regret not speaking up as there will never be another chance to thank him...

Is that confirmed anywhere? She's not credited as a vocalist afaik. I'd like to think it was true.

Edit: I read 'backing' but it says joint. So this is just flat-out wrong.heh.

So they don't really even like most of New Order.

And our supergiant sings and writes gloriously. Yes, Bernard is assuredly as great as any one now or before, but Bernard is for now a silent star , not yet gone galactic
