New Order is a member of an elite group of long-standing bands whose sound remains innovative, despite a nearly unchanged musical direction. No one touches Peter Hook's warm, startlingly melodic basslines or Bernard Sumner's slightly unsure but instantly recognizable singing. Get Ready is a classic New Order album with a few twists. Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan (who no doubt hero-worshipped the band, like most angst-ridden alterna-youth of his generation) is invited for a guest appearance on "Turn My Way," and Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie aids New Order in producing the dirty, Stones-ripping tune "Rock the Shack," an imitation of Scream's 1994 single, "Rocks." Fans might be taken aback by the disc's occasional sophomoric lyrics, but given the band's standard for poetic prowess, it may be safe to assume that lyrics like "Here comes love/it's like honey/you can't buy/it with money" are tongue-in-cheek. The CD is bookended with its best songs: "Crystal" is one of their finest singles ever, layered with synthesized rhythm tracks and a beautiful interplay between Sumner and a backing female vocal, and "Run Wild" is a tastefully lush ballad that summons those painful and glorious emotions that somehow are unique to the band's music. Few rock groups that equally utilize keyboards and guitars have survived the post-Nirvana shakeout, but Get Ready is further testimony that while trends and musical movements come and go, New Order will always matter. --Beth Massa CD > POPULAR MUSIC > ROCK Review: Excelente - Nuevo , precio perfecto y rápido envio Review: NEW ORDER'S "GET READY" DANCE-ABLE ROCK OR ROCK THAT YOU CAN DANCE TO!! BEST OF BOTH!!! - I've always liked New Order, but with "GET READY" this is the first time I felt compelled to purchase! The guitars are more prevalent than the synthesizers on this & Peter Hook's bass on standout song "CRYSTAL" is best use of bass guitar I've ever heard!! All factors came together simultaneously for me to purchase this. Cable TV was running the music video for "CRYSTAL" (most definitely worth catching! I won't say further...no spoilers!), I read a readers' comment in the October 2016 issue of British "Q" music magazine that "GET READY' should have been included in a list of NEW ORDER'S BEST CDs/LPs & "60 MILES AN HOUR" was played on one of my Pandora radio stations (another standout on this Fantastic release!) While all the tracks are great, "GET READY" is a pretty cohesive sound, which isn't easy for any band who merges rock with dance to achieve (& some merge even more sub-categories of each genre). So, Bernard Sumner & NEW ORDER deserve cudo's for nailing that!! The opener, "CRYSTAL" is probably the only song that I've ever heard (& I've head a Lot of 'em!!) which I can hit repeat over & over & over, etc.....IT IS THAT GREAT!! I already couldn't resist "GET READY" and, being a HUGE Bobby Gillespie/Primal Scream Fan, if there had been any doubt at all (which there wasn't) the dual vocal with him accompanying Bernard Sumner on "ROCK THE SHACK" would have disspelled that instantly!! " GET READY" should either already be in your collection or be the next one added!!

A Comeback That's For Real
I freely admit that I'm stuck in the 80's. As far as I was concerned, New Order hit their peak with 1985's _Low Life_, and went into steep decline afterward. That said, _Get Ready_ is one of the greatest recordings of their career. From the adrenaline rush of the opening song "Crystal" to the heartachingly beautiful closer "Run Wild", Bernard, Gillian, Stephen, and Peter sound as desperate and committed as they did in the days of _Power, Corruption, and Lies_. Here are the highlights (in my opinion): "60 Miles An Hour" is absolutely addictive. As its title suggests, this is a song to put the top down to and go for a cruise down the highway. "Rock The Shack" is down 'n' dirty Stones-like riffing. To my ears, "Close Range" is the masterpiece of the album. Beginning with an insistent synth line, it slowly and inexorably builds to a mighty climax. What is most exciting about this cut (and all of the tracks in general) is Peter Hook's bass. Imagine the high-end melodicism of Rush's Geddy Lee combined with the rock-solid underpinning of The Who's John Entwhistle, and you have a glimmer of the beauty of Hooksy's work on this cd. When he takes the lead on "Close Range", it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. It fades out during his solo, and I can't help but wonder what heights he eventually reached. Lest you think this is all bass pyrotechnics, let me praise the amazing drum riffs of Stephen Morris, the warm and assured vocals of Bernard Sumner, and the near-perfect synth backing of Gillian Gilbert. Bernie's guitar has not sounded this aggressive in years. What a great piece of work.

Vinyl review
Quality vinyl not my favorite NO album but has a few great songs got it to complete my collection.

Wonderful Update
Get Ready is New Order's first post Gillian Gilbert album and the complexion is decidedly more guitar rock oriented. The quality of the songs are excellent and there really aren't any weak tracks on the album. Crystal is a great opening track in the tradition of Regret from the Republic disc. My opinion is biased because I pretty much love anything thats got Bernard Sumner on it. The track Turn My Way with Billy Corgan guesting on vocals is a standout cut. Run Wild is achingly beautiful and and wonderful closing cut. For the quality of this 2015 vinyl Remaster I'm really impressed. There is more warmth and depth to the sound and it especially benefits the vocals. The pressing is very quiet and good quality. Its been in high rotation on my turntable since I received it.

A Shocker
New Order is an all time favorite band, but they seemed like they were getting bland. After my first listen to this CD I thought my impressions were right. I put it away for a couple months and decided to give it another try. New Order usually had at least a couple worth while songs and I wanted to find the other. When I payed more attention most songs sounded decent. Was this just consistent blandness or a better CD than I first thought. I played it again and my jaw dropped. This was darn good. It seems to rival their early work. Now with each listen I like it even more. This is a treasure. Each song has power and atmosphere that is infectious. A great new beginning

Buy it
This is absolutely one of the finest CDs I have heard in a long time. I've never been much of a New Order fan -- liking more the old Joy Division raw sound -- but after reading a strong review in (Spin?) I decided to give it a try. From track one, this CD just rocks. Something for everybody. Very well put togehter. In my view, this is far more creative and appealing than Substance or their other more poppy, dancy stuff. Still, as I write this, I'm thinking that Get Ready has its poppy dancy side as well. Perhaps more "unusual" and unexpected sonic changes is a better way to put it; I've always thought New Order was fairly predictable. So buy it. I've recommended this CD to more people than I have in a while -- up there creatively with The Blue Nile's Walk Across the Rooftops, Stone Roses' debut CD, and the Verve's Urban Hymns.

ロック色の濃いNew Order、暗いけど聴かせる名盤です!!
ポップなRegretを含む傑作Republic以降、メンバーそれぞれのソロ活動に入り、 はたして復活はないかもと半ばあきらめかけていた2001年に届いた待望の新作が、 このGet Ready でした。 これまでのポップ面を押さえ、ダークにしかしカッコよくロックしているアルバムです。 初期のMovementやJoy Division時代の臭いを感じます。 今では地味な印象ですが、 なかなかどうしていかにもNOって感じで聴かせる名盤だと思いますよ。 ちなみに、シングルにもなっているCrystal は、 7分近いアルバム・ロングバージョンで、いきなり聴き応え十分に楽しめます。 Get Ready は、ロックなNOを聴きたい気分に最適なアルバムと言えるでしょう。

traumhaft
Get Ready von New Order: Was für eine Traumhafte Platte. Ein allzugroßer New Order-Kenner bin ich bislang noch nicht. Neben den Best Of New Order auf dem mir einige Songs ebenfalls sehr gut gefielen und Temptation vom Trainspotting-Soundtrack meine erste CD. Das ganze fängt mit einen hinreissend rockenden Song Namens Crystal an und wird immer besser. Wenn mich jemand nach dem besten Bassisten der Welt fragen würde so wäre meine Antwort spätestens nach hören dieses Albums Peter Hook der glaubt nämlich irgendwie die Lead Gittarre zu spielen und herauskommt dabei ein harmonisches Soundgeflecht zwischen Gittarre, Bass und SynthiŽs. Das geht schön ins Ohr genauso wie die markante Stimme des Sängers und man denkt sich: Es giebt so viele gute Bands aber die hier ist eben noch Funken besser. Beachtenswert ist die Musikalische Vielfältigkeit dieser Band. Von Electro-Songs aus den 80zigern wie " Blue Monday" zu rockern alla " Rock the Shack" das ebenfalls auf diesen Album vertreten ist und meiner Meinung nach so richtig abgeht. Der Sound dieses Albums umspannt diese Bandbreite meiner Meinung nach. Alles auf einmal zur selben Zeit !

One of their best
This was New Order's great return to the scene. They proved they can do something new and fresh even in the 00's. It had been 7 years since the release of Republic: the latter was a little bit more dance-y while this record has more of a pop-rock mood in it. Unfortunately many people remember them only for Blue Monday, because their last albums are great.
