Background

edit

Peter Hookstated that the album's title "could mean anything or nothing. I thought it was just nice; New Order,Get Ready;'cause we are, we're getting ready for the next phase of our musical lives both physically and mentally, so it's quite a simple thing but it's very pertinent. "[5]

The album was dedicated toRob Gretton,the manager ofJoy Divisionand New Order, who died in 1999.[6][7]

Get Readyreceived generally positive reviews from music critics. AtMetacritic,which assigns anormalisedrating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received anaveragescore of 72, based on 24 reviews.[8]David BrowneofEntertainment Weeklyopined that New Order have "never sounded stronger or more vigorous", callingGet Ready"a stunning and confident return to form".[11]Robert ChristgauofThe Village Voicedeemed it the band's best album "in 15 years",[18]whileAllMusiccritic John Bush described the record as "their first work in 15 years that's focused on songwriting and performance rather than grafted dance techniques."[9]In his review forQ,Andrew Harrisonsaid that "New Order have made better records than this, but not many with such an emotional charge and the expansive noise to carry it off... [...]Get Readyis the sound of a great band breaking free of their past before your ears. "[15]

Village Voicewriter Michaelangelo Matos criticised the compositions, saying, "Calling the albumGet Readyfeels as if they're psyching themselves up for the task at hand—like they're raring to go but aren't exactly certain where they're going, or even necessarily why they're doing it. The songs carry this out—it's them, not the sonics, that make this the second disappointing New Order album in a row. "[19]Mojo's David Peschek was unconvinced by the album, finding it to be "less a call to arms than the sound of an old man wheezing out of a creaky armchair."[20]

By April 2006,Get Readyhad sold 153,000 copies in the United States, according toNielsen SoundScan.[21]
