waiting for the sirens' call

New Order has a knack for putting out albums every 2-7 years or so. And since their forthcoming album, Waiting for the Sirens' Call, will only be their 8th studio output of new material since they rose from the ashes of Joy Division in 1980, it's stateside release date of April something or other is cause for some ceremony. Unless, of course, you just stumbled upon a copy from your favorite file spreading dot com and you can celebrate early. In the UK, promotional scarves have been made available to promote the album. They remind me of the inflatible buoys & album covers they used to promote Repubulic years ago. So, does the new disc merrit the hype? Who cares - hype can be fun, especially if you can participate.
