After the so-so effort of "Raise The Pressure" (which had a couple of brilliant tracks though), Bernard and Johnny came back with what I believe to be the best album of the year. One minute into the lead track, "Make It Happen", and I knew this would be something special. The best tracks for me would be (in no certain order): "Make It Happen", "Haze", "Vivid", "Twisted Tenderness", "Like No Other", and "Prodigal Son". The quality of songwriting never flags for a moment, the production is first-rate, and I'd be astounded if the next New Order release even matches this effort (highly unlikely, despite my love for New Order). It's a real shame "Twisted Tenderness" never saw US release, and apparently, European listeners ignored it in droves. But that's public taste (or lack thereof) for you. No matter. This one rose above the pack for me, and might well be one of my top five choices of the decade. I hope Bernard and Johnny don't give up on this project after such a wonderful 3rd album.

I've owned this CD for a while now and it's still my favorite! Every time I listen to it is as good as the first time was! The only problem with it is that I love tracks 3 (Vivid) and 6 (Twisted Tenderness) so much that I don't get to listen to the other tracks because every time I put the CD in, I just end up listening to those two on loop :) Twisted Tenderness is amazing beyond words and has left me speechless... if i gave it my usual analysis it couldn't possibly do the song justice.

What an awesome CD, this is a example of diversity that goes beyond the imagination. I know there is not one track on this CD that will disappoint any listener. This is one of the best CD's I have bought in the last year. God and Amazon know I have bought alot.
