Bad Lieutenant - "Never Cry Another Tear"Now that New Order are broken up (again), it's good to hear Bernard Sumner's voice. Also joining him are New Order drummer Stephen Morris and their latter-day touring guitarist Phil Cunningham. Comparisons to their past legendary band are inevitable especially since Bernie sings most tracks. This album is more guitar-based with a few electronics sprinkled in here and there. The most New Order-sounding track is "Poisonous Intent" which sounds like an outtake from Technique. Lead vocals on a couple songs are handled by Jake Evans (at times sounding like Noel Gallagher). A few lines by Bernie seem lazy, but that's always been the case. Though minus Peter Hook, Bad Lieutenant sound just fine.
Key Tracks:
Sink or Swim
Twist of Fate
Running out of Luck
Runaway
Higher Wider Deeper" (Japanese Bonus Track)
