Obviously no one has told these London alt rockers that the 90’s ended over a decade a go, and that New Order has broken up, reunited, broken up again, and then reformed again with a different line up. I’m not complaining because I’ve gotten a few listens out of this 5 song EP. Maybe it’s a little too glossy and shiny, many of the edges have been filed down, as most bands who have survived this long while still managing to stick with a major label. Most of the time it falls flat underneath itself, which on a 5 track can be pretty detrimental: I.K.W.Y.L. (which finally takes off in the final minute), The Extra (which at least they call themselves out during) and Time Is Money (I can’t tell how much of it is a joke). You know what, never mind. It’s better than King Animal, at the very least. Well sometimes. This was originally going to be much nicer award…
