I've compiled a review megamix - enjoy
Mojo - 'Ninth album lays claim to iconic status'
Uncut - 'Easily New Order's best album since Technique and their most diverse ever. Among its rich, eclectic, 65 minute sprawl, Music Complete contains a couple of songs that are contenders for the canon of all time New Order greats’
The Quietus –‘Thrilling, progressive and fun, which ought to stand as a highlight of their career’
Q Magazine – ‘What’s so impressive about Music Complete is not just that New Order have returned but they’ve come back in such vibrant form’
GQ -"Relentlessly vivid and dynamic’
Louder Than War – ‘Music Complete is going to go down as one of New Order’s finest works. It is where the band come back out of the dark and into the sun.’
Mixmag – ‘An album of outstanding pop, shuddering dance-rock and intricate electronic moods. A runaway victory for class over hype.’
The ArtsDesk – ‘Music Complete sees New Order rejuvenated and fighting fit. The songs here run the gamut of dance, rock, electronica and even disco with a kind of manic glee.’
PopMatters – ‘Music Complete is the best New Order album since 1989’s Technique.’
List – ‘The world should be very happy that what it has right now is a new New Order album.’
DoubleJ – ‘For some reason, bands tend to get pretty rubbish as they get old. Trends change, they lose the hunger for stardom and lose touch with what an audience wants.No one told New Order that, though. Music Complete, released 35 years after the band formed, is an example of a band still at the top of their game. They're not defining genres anymore, but they're still making mighty good music. New Order don't need to change the game anymore, they've already done that enough in their lifetime. The fact they can still give us such vital, relevant music after so many years is testament to the power of this great band. ‘
RollingStone – ‘Their most varied and substantial work in decades.’
ConsequenceOfSound – ‘It’s the rare late era LP that blossoms with life, while also echoing the past.
Exclaim – ‘New Order have made their best album since 1989's Technique. Few people expected this to happen so far into their career, but then New Order have always been about beating the odds’
Live4Ever – ‘Bold, creative and without doubt a tour-de-force.’
The Guardian – ‘Music Complete feels like the freshest thing they’ve done in ages.’
UnderTheArmMag – ‘The best collection of songs that they've produced in years.’
Pitchfork -'The most refined record they’ve released since 1989’s Technique..... sounds like classic New Order, and now over three decades deep into their career, it's kind of amazing that nothing else really does.
