I had a chance to listen to this album and all I have to say is that it is a very good album. If you like great guitar playing, synths,great melodies and uplifting lyrics you will love it. I loved Sink or Swim, This is home, Runaway and many more on this cd. I don’t think that there is one bad song on this cd. Bernard Sumner is a musical genius, he has made great music with New Order, electronic and Joy Division. This is one of the best cd’s that I heard this year, this cd will leave you charmed for a long time.
I agree with Qwerty…

real songwriting….great lyrics….awesome music.
its not New Order..but it shouldnt be….
its a great sound with Sumner at the helm. I love the fact he shared vocal duties.
