Quote:The bass is relegated to a backing role, just how he likes it, in fact everything is in a backing role.
I know 'Restless' is not the strongest song on the album, but how can he get the impression that everything/everyone but Bernard is in a backing role?
Quote:The whole song seems programmed to within an inch of it’s life
His ears must be different from mine; Restless doesn't sound programmed at all.
Quote:I feel sorry for the fans… waiting 10 years for some material with our name on it and getting presented with this?
There are quite a few fans (and even critics and reviewers) who enjoy the album, generally speaking. Has Hooky written any new material (besides Freebass)? I don't think so. All he's done for the past 7 or 8 years are JD/NO album gigs, DJing (or what appears to be it), talking about the Hacienda, Joy Division, and New Order's past. If Hooky can write new material (preferably an album) and get better reviews/opinions than Music Complete, then he has a point. But until then, he should keep his mouth shut.
Quote:The guy is a fucking moron as well as a liar (allegedly;) it’s time you knew the truth and I will write to MOJO and provide the proof.
It's not classy to insult people in public like that. In this blog post he said he'll write to Mojo, and the newest blog post (posted in that other thread) shows that letter, but how could he think Mojo would bother to publish that drivel?
Quote:My wife keeps telling me off, telling me to stop, to focus on how much I enjoy what I do now and not take any notice of the others.
His wife seems to have more sense than him.
Quote:They should be boycotted by every New Order Fan…they do not deserve your support. They are Thieves…’Thieves like them’ hee hee;)
He has no right to tell fans what they should think about the new New Order. Let us fans decide for ourselves if they are New Order or not, and if they are worth supporting.
