New Order "Shellshock" Review

To cool things out just a fraction try the latest portion of Anglo-American funkateering from the only Brit band brave enough to shake off their pedigree past and emerge, transformed, with a great New York culled hybrid of soul and state of the art mechanix. NEW ORDER’s Shellshock (Factory) is their most perfectly realised merging of Mancunian wit and New York funkionalism, resulting in a huge—even by NO's grand architectural standards —slab of sleek, shiny pop music with a hint of sensuality lurking amidst the ever-more-confident Albrecht vocals. “The deeper you go, "he sings, “the sweeter the pain."

Potent.
