How do you feel about New Order?

Age of Consent is a favorite

There was a good New Order thread about a year or so ago.

Power, Corruption & Lies

Is great. My preference. Technique isn't bad.

I'll point out again, that 2001's Get Ready is outstanding if you're a New Order fan. IN fact, i was surprised how good it was when I first listened to it.

Also, Peter Hook just released a book about Joy Division.

Second all time favorite band behind Depeche.

They have had great releases all through their very long career. Often b-sides or non album tracks are better than the singles or album cuts. (Touched by the Hand of God, Brutal, Sabotage, Here to Stary, Player in the League)

Get Ready plus b-sides was a great "comeback" of sorts. Give a listen to Substance as well as Republic to catch you up to the mid 90's

Brotherhood was one of the albums I listed in the "most influential in your choice of music" thread.

That and Depeche Mode 101 started me down the path of EDM music I'm still on today.

I love to chill listening to Vanishing Point (especially the reprise in the last quarter of the song).

ETA:

It's on their Technique album in case you were looking for it.

I'll probably get Technique tonight. Nothing beats having a bunch of new stuff to listen to.

New Order was my favorite band from the late 80's through the mid 90's. Substance was my intro to them; Technique cemented them as my favorite; from there I slowly worked backwards, acquiring 'Power, Corruption & Lies', Movement, etc. And then to Joy Division, which I also love.

I prefer their moodier stuff, from Movement through Substance. Although I really do like Technique, which, on the whole, I consider more emotionally upbeat, as well as uptempo... maybe more emotionally detached would be more correct than calling it upbeat.

I found Republic okay in the early 90's, but their sound started getting too bright and jangly for my tastes from that point on. I think it makes them unbalanced and the excessive high pitch makes it harder to listen to for more than a few songs without getting an urge to change to something else. I haven't really listened closely to Republic or newer in a while, though, so my memory might not be as accurate as I think it is, and might change if I revisited their music.

I think some of their songs... notably popular ones like Bizzare Love Triangle and True Faith stand the test of time pretty well; and so does the album Movement... at least in my opinion. Other songs I used to love, like Blue Monday, sound a little dated to me now. Again... just my opinion.

I jam New Order all the time...they are timeless.

Krystal
Regret (my all time favorite)
True Faith
Blue Monday
Bizarre Love Traingle
Ceremony ( another all time favorite)

Cannot believe Love Vigilantes has not been mentioned yet. Love that song.

While I also like Bizarre Love Triangle, I actually prefer Frente's cover.

Love em
