Waiting for the Sirens' Call, New Order's eighth studio album, came out on London Records on 28 March 2005, and it's the first one made without the lineup that built the band: Gillian Gilbert had stepped away in 2001 after Get Ready, and Phil Cunningham was now working guitars and synths alongside Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris. Stuart Price is credited as producer.
The Manchester veterans sound like men who've decided guitars and dance floors can share a room again, Sumner still singing with that happily bewildered air and the rhythm section pushing everything forward. "Krafty" led the charge as the first single, all bright, chiming guitars and a chorus built for humming on the bus. "Jetstream" followed with Scissor Sisters' Ana Matronic adding her voice, and the title track went out after that.
