Review by fieroavian Nov 19, 2002
Electronic have always been underrated. They never got the respect like New Order and The Smiths did, perhaps because it's a side-project; but since they're a "supergroup", expectations on them seem to be higher than usual. Harsh reviews were thrown at them when they made a sub-par album like "Release the Pressure" (though a lot of bands have to sandpaper their eyeballs to make something that good); and when they did make brilliant albums, I don't feel that they were taken seriously. Contrary to TIM, I like Electronic a lot (as much as New Order) largely because of Bernard Sumner's poignant poetry and stylish vocals. And unlike him, "Twisted Tenderness" happens to be my favourite album, where Johnny Marr really shines. Songs like "Like No Other" or "Late At Night" are just insanely exciting. I wouldn't go as far as calling him a guitar virtuoso, but that's something you certainly won't hear in New Order's stuff. It doesn't really have a standout moment like "Getting Away With It", but more enjoyable as an album. It's a shame that with Barney's recent committment to New Order, he won't be likely to make music with Johnny Marr anytime soon.
