RateYourMusic doesn't care for this single, but eh, fuck 'em, this single rocks.

Yes, Age of Consent is one of the best songs ever. But this album is so, so much more than that. Each one of these tracks contains that distinct New Order "kick" that made their songs work so well. And honestly, Leave Me Alone is such an emotionally potent, powerful closing track that I often find myself coming back to it more often than the aforementioned song.

One of the best albums ever. Listen to it again, and again, and again.

I would give this one a 200 if possible. This is quite possibly my favorite record of all time. Something about its emotionally effective simplicity and lyrical poeticism just reduces me to tears every time.

Bland, uninteresting, meat-and-potatoes Math Rock. A decent start for the band, but not much beyond that.

(I am 100% convinced this is the first Math Rock record these critics have heard.)
