| Professional Review: |
| Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1986 album from the Manchester quartet, one of the most successful and consistent bands of the '80s and beyond. After the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis, the three surviving members of Joy Division regrouped under the band name New Order, adding Gillian Gilbert on keyboards. The rest, as they say, is history. Disc One in this package contains the original album in its digitally remastered glory. Disc Two is filled with eight non-album singles, B-sides and remixes. This is as great as it gets! Rhino UK. 2008. |

 Written on February 24, 2004 Summary: simple the best album from new order the best new order album, in the middle of the 80's, 80's rules!  Written on February 18, 2004 Summary: Don't bother. For die-hard fans only. I love some New Order records. Movement. Power Corruption and Lies. Technique is good. Substance is pretty good. My advice is pick any of the above. If you're a really mainstream person who listens to Paula Abdul, get Substance or possibly Technique. If you like the Cure, try the first two. Power Corruption and Lies is probably the definitive New Order record. Movement is in its own genre.  Written on March 20, 2003 Summary: Where do we go from Here Really now, this is quite a good album. Not brilliant (Power Corruption and Lies is the only New Order album that approaches that) and not woeful, like almost everything that followed it. Bizarre Love Triangle is quite the perfect pop song and tracks like Weirdo and As It Is When It Was are also exceptional, mainly due to Peter Hooks outstanding bass lines. Broken Promises sounds really good cranked up. The sound is dense and repays repeated listening, particularly tracks like All Day Long which has a a soaring grace that captures what New Order was like on a good live day (I saw them on their Australian tour just after this album was released - Enmore Theatre so so, Selina's superb). really, the only thing that lets this album down are the painfully naff lyrics, particularly All Day Long. OK it's about child abuse so it scores 8 points for subject matter, but the rhyming is just so twee that you can't wait till it gets to the instrumental part of the track so about minus a million for that. Funnily, this album's sounds haven't dated like everything that followed and (unpopular move) Low Life before it. So buy it. And play it loud like it should be. It may not change your life but it's still exponentially further ahead than most stuff that constricts the airways these days.... Written on February 21, 2003 Summary: 5-stars?!--are you kidding?! Aside from the fact that the CD-Mastering here is as thin as its 1990 date, this is really HALF an album, the whole second side was thrown together at the last minute to meet a deadline, even though the conclusion of Every Second Counts is a fine bit of LP-fun that has been way over used by exhausted DJs to conclude their sets. For those that don't know, its a kind of warped-record of an orchestra crescendoing and ascending until the end in which the record needle skips--perhaps indicating how spent the group were from partying instead of recording...just in case you couldn't figure that one out from the totally bored lyrics ("i think you are a pig, you should be in a zoo"). At least in this case, Barney's words are purposefully stupid, whereas on "All Day Long" over an annoyingly naive 3-note descension-ascension that endlessly repeats the lyrics are cryptically treat domestic abuse in an equally naive way. Quite simply the only really good, tracks on this record are the singles which are on all the numerous compilations. There are a couple of other tracks that are interesting to fans because of their guitar-driven compositions, but these are not ultimately enough of a draw. So--the mastering is terrible, the good songs are the singles and are on better CD releases, and over-all the music just hasn't stood the test of time the way PC&L and Low-Life have, for the early New Order sound I'd check those first. To that end--when oh when will someone finally get round to restoring, remastering and releasing all the non-LP '81-'85 material, like the original "temptation" and "confusion" studio versions of peel session tracks, rare stephen morris on vocals, etc. and/or the era when N.O. were compelling live ie, at Taras Schevchenko in early '80s? Its like they've given up maintaining their catalog! Written on September 8, 2002 Summary: The clan of cave bare BROTHERHOOD came out at the zenith of New Order's creative time period. Bordered by LOW LIFE which was issued the previous year and SUBTANCE the year after; situation and circumstance were unfolding fast and furious; perhaps unpredictably so. BROTHERHOOD has an underlying sense of urgency, almost an emergency of sorts. Fires of the soul, passions of the heart give this album its true essence and beauty. New Order's music has always sounded deliberate, intentional, and infinitely naïve. Never has that been more apparent than on the songs "Weirdo", "Way of Life", "All Day Long", and "Angel Dust". The enigma of misplaced song titles vs. lyrical content continues, adding to the clutter and confusion that drives the engines, that turn the wheels, that frames the picture of the message that hopefully arrives to you, the listener. Humor and nuance are not lost. Songs "Bizarre Love Triangle" (about the love of a sandwich and all things swine) and "Every Little Counts" chronicle the goof ball antics and administrative blunders of Factory management. Because of the close quarters and proximity of all the players surrounding this small independent record label, certain zaniness threads these songs. There are mistakes aplenty here. "State of the Nation" sounds lost and misplaced. The vocals are often off key, the instrumentation likewise, but this all adds to the allure and perfection of yet another landmark album. To say this is their best work would be disingenuous to the band. To say this album was remarkable would be further testament to the continuing saga known as New Order. To be simultaneously clueless with the intuition of a sage or saint is indeed a singular achievement. |
