Bad Lieutenant, the musical project formed by members of New Order and Blur, has set a release date for its debut album, Never Cry Another Tear.
"There is some continuity to the music I've made in the past,"
guitarist and vocalist Bernard Sumner said in a statement. "But this is
very different -- because different people are playing on it. This is
just how I now want to make music -- it feels right to me and I hope at
least a few other people feel the same."
The band's self-created
label, Triple Echo Records, will release the album exclusively through
Amazon on Oct. 13 before distributing it through other retail outlets
on Nov. 10. The studio release of the bands' first single, "Sink or Swim,"
is available as a free download through BadLieutenant.net.

The ablum is going to be great and the new single Sink or Swim is very good also, anything that Bernard Sumner touches gold, but one thing that is bothering me so much is the album artwork, New Order and anything related to their music comes with great artwork but the album cover for the new Bad Lieutenant album Never Cry Another Tear is totally unacceptable, anyone can make this in their home it requires no talent, I don' think they took any time or interest to design the sleeve , it is just a BLACK & WHITE cover with a scribble, VERY VERY VERY UNACCEPTABLE, I hope you take your time to change the album cover with some art and color, here is the link so you can see it for yourself.

I had a chance to listen to this album and all I have to say is that this album is VERY GOOD, if you like great guitars, synths and great melodies you will be blown away with it. This album has great songs and if you like new order you will love it. Bernard Sumner is a music legend and he proves it with this great album, this album will surprise you when you listen to it of how good it is.
