New Order – Waiting For The Sirens' Call

I like this album you can listen to it and feel happy , I can hear the bass as well, decent album with acoustic sounding guitars in the songs

i got a sealed twin pack w german intro mag sticker which has a krafty bonus cd..is this listed anywhere?

Pretty mediocre record, very middle of the road. Nothing even remotely suitable for club play, unless it was someone's retirement party. Sad this was Hooky's last record with them, what a disappointment.

I generally don't like New Order's music, as it is not my style, but this is literally their best album by miles, and the only one i enjoy listening. It is not a masterpiece by any means, but it is the most commercial/pop sounding, and accessible to hear, out of their whole discography compared to their all the others underground/ hard to listen albums of theirs, especially the 80's ones. At least the sound here is more uplifting and catchy so as the melodies.
For example, I have also ''Power, Corruption & Lies'' 1983 album in my collection which is considered to be their best by most fans, but that one is very difficult to listen, and i don't like almost at all, and comparing to this ''Waiting For The Sirens' Call'' that one is close to be a waste record.
My favorites tracks here are ''Who's Joe?'', ''Morning Night And Day'', and ''Guilt Is A Useless Emotion''.
I seriously recommend this album.

Cheesy, trite and a load of bloody shite...a disgrace to the corpse of Ian!

It is true that this album did not impress back in the day, especially after such a brilliant predecessor as "Get Ready". However, almost ten years after (pun not intended), it simply sounds brilliant! It has the potential to attract new fans to the band, especially those who did not necessarily enjoy their previous, "classic" albums. I encourage everyone to have a go at it, especially those who did not like it back then.

It's not greatful to say 'this sucks' to a group that truly moved pop music's boundaries but isn't that also a somewhat sad story - 'Waiting For the Sirens' Call' suggests a dangerous tune by its title and should have sounded like 'sirens' indeed kicking off one last air-raid alert for a band that started showing worrying signs of falling apart... but in the end you get the simple picture - New Order turned into old prats with desperately naive songs as if they're a bunch of just-discovered youths.

Their landmarks are still there but these are washed off so hard as well, not easy to serve and make people swallow every time. One the ever-present trendmakers which stood their test of time - in fact, tests were many succesfully ed - however, 'The Sirens' Call' es hardly for C+ and that is mainly due to its sleeve's exceptionally negative statement. Innovation is still there as far as Mr. Saville is concerned. As for New Order - they are now a legend but there is danger they transform this legend into their own caricature.

New Order's record covers are as celebrated as their music. The infamous Peter Saville designed almost all of them, from Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" in 1979 onwards.

So, naturally, New Order turned to Saville to design the cover for "Waiting For The Sirens' Call". The world-weary designer had, of late, been giving interviews professing his boredom with music and the music industry, but all the same, complied. His design: a striking Photoshop comp of a lady rising out of a huge tidal wave. Everyone was happy.

Then on the 26th December 2004, the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake disaster occured; a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people. The record company, management and band looked at the artwork, and panicked. They needed a new sleeve, quick...

Saville's response to their new request, writ large in striking simple red letters:

"No"
