Get Ready by New Order
Get Ready is an album by New Order, released in 2001. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Crystal”, on 20 lists with a best position of #9.
Get Ready, New Order's seventh studio album, came out on London Records on 27 August 2001, and it was their first studio record in eight years, since Republic in 1993. The band had split in 1993 to chase side projects and regrouped in 1998, and this is the sound of Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris plugging back in with Steve Osborne producing.
It sounds like a rock band that never forgot the dance floor: guitars pushed up front, Hook's bass melodies still carving their high lines, a club pulse underneath and Sumner's voice as wistful as ever over the top. "Crystal" is the one that stuck, a surge of guitar and beat that says the band still meant business. The US got it a few weeks later on Reprise.
