Bauhaus Staircase is the fourteenth studio album by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), and the fourth since their 2006 reformation.

Record Collector and Classic Pop magazines named it the best new album release in their respective November 2023 issues, while other outlets considered it to be OMD's finest work since the mid-1980s.

[1] During 2020's COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom, OMD frontman Andy McCluskey "rediscovered the creative power of total bloody boredom", writing the majority of what would become Bauhaus Staircase.

"[22] Classic Pop awarded Bauhaus Staircase "Best New Release" honours in their November–December issue, with John Earls calling it "yet another stellar latter-period gem" that would make for "a hell of a last studio statement".

[15] Louder Than War's Martin Gray noted that OMD's "knack for crafting brilliant electronic pop tunes remains intact... each of the 12 tracks is perfectly executed, arranged and produced.

"[26] According to Jason Anderson of Uncut, the band returned "with a new album as enthralling as anything they've recorded", striking "a balance between pristine electro-pop songcraft and the loopier inclinations that once fuelled [1983's] Dazzle Ships.

"[23] BrooklynVegan and The Irish Mail on Sunday each named Bauhaus Staircase their "Album of the Week",[27][28] with the former's Bill Pearis calling it "one of [OMD's] best, certainly their most engaging, dialed-in record since 1984's Junk Culture."

"[27] Matt Mitchell of Paste also highlighted Bauhaus Staircase as one of that week's finest releases, saying, "OMD's latest record is their best since Crush in 1985... the album is rife with synthesizers and drum machines that sound 40 years old and more timeless than ever.
