Amazon.co.uk Review
Technique is New Order's most fully realised dance album. Although other New Order albums have been mighty danceable, this recording contains a masterful use of the acid-house trends storming the club scene in 1989, when this album was released. New Order embraced the technology that was available at the time but never substituted brilliant song structures with prefabricated formats that sequencers, samplers, and other high-tech noisemakers can easily provide. They intelligently used these devices to incorporate elements of a broader genre beyond the "New Order sound," proving that even while experimenting with musical trends and other fleeting diversions, this accomplished group is capable of pulling off a genre-defining album without ever losing sight of their own identity. --Beth Bessmer

 New Order's finest album... July 27, 2007
P. Philips (Sutton Coldfield UK)
I bought this album on its release in 1989 and it remains the best album New Order have ever made. It's hard to believe this was released 18 years ago and it still stands up well today, the best tracks being the brilliant Mr.Disco and Round and Round. The remaining tracks are also very good, indeed there's not a weak track to be found here.
Highly recommended.

This is simply the finest album you can buy around this time period, its the pinnicle of new orders career, if you have purchased one of there best ofs and are thinking of getting an album then make this your nuber one purchase,
Its a happy feel good album (recorded in ibiza) that encapulates the "madchester" era, and was released 12 months before the stone roses/happy mondays etc made their mark,
stand out tracks are "love less", "mr disco" and "dream attack", the fact that none of these tracks were ever released as singles annoys me to this day

This album is always up there in the best albums ever list. However, I don't hear anything particularly stunning here and believe me, I've tried. I must have listened to it 30 times and I must say, there are some good songs here (tracks 2,3,4 and 6 in particular) but there's nothing that I would call 'classic'. New Order always struck me as a much better singles band as their Substance album demonstrates.
perfect technique January 18, 2004

The pinnacle of New Order's recording career so far. Possibly the finest pop/rock/dance album ever made. Starting with the lecherous acid tribute Fine Time, also featuring vital pop gems like Round & Round, All The Way and Vanishing point.
Run features some of Barney Sumners most wigged out guitar playing ever, Lp closer Dream Attack is simply a perfect song.
Lyrically and production wise this is New Order's best album, a must for every serious record collection.
The Greatest Album of All Time June 5, 2003
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
Ignore any of the other reviews if there's even a single bad word in them. Truly this album is the distillation of New Order's unstoppable genius. Run has the greatest opening ever (alongside The Pixies' Debaser), Mr Disco is surely the finest song ever written about chicken in a basket holiday romance, Vanishing Point makes cymbals sound like interesting instruments, Round&Round is New Order's great lost single - easily up there with Bizarre Love Triangle, Guilty Partner rocks like a chair and with Fine Time New Order show a generation of Acid House chancers how it's done. Every second of this music is perfect. And as for the lyrics - this is Bernard Sumner's Blood on the Tracks, every song littered with suggestions of heartbreak. "Answer me, why won't you answer me?" "My life aint no holiday, I've been through the point of no return", "The picture you see is no portrait of me", "I can't see the sense in you leaving, all I need is your love to believe in." All in all the perfect soundtrack to anything anyone ever does, ever.
