Leave Me Alone is a perfect song

Leave me alone IS Beautiful!! One of those songs that can actually choke me up at times. I love it!

Delighted someone else puts Leave Me Alone right up there with their best efforts. My brother and I are in the midst of an ongoing Age of Consent vs Leave Me Alone discussion. I've got Leave Me Alone by a nose...

that bass line. just 2 words. peter hook. such a good bassist

For me, this album is a near masterpiece. Age of consent, Your silent Face and The Village are amongst my fave songs and the only one i'm not too hot on is 586 (but this version only, the live and Peel versions i've heard around this time are far superior) In fact its probably my second favorite album of all time after Joy Divisions Closer.

The hi-hat on Age of Consent is possibly some of the fastest, most consistent hi-hat playing I have ever heard a human doing, he might be giving Stuart Copeland a run for his money on that one.

Great album. I grew up with the CD, which had Blue Monday and The Beach tagged on either end of side A and B. Felt their additions really expand and fill out the record, to great effect. "586" is a good song which suffers from an aimless minute long intro and "Ecstasy" is probably the weakest track on the album. I've warmed up to "Ultraviolence" a lot over the years, as the dynamics of the string play on the guitar and bass feel a lot like Joy Division. Every other song is flawless. "Age of Consent" is one of the best album openers ever, "Your Silent Face" uses a sample of Kraftwerk's "Europe Endless" so perfectly that it inspired me to buy the album I the first place, and "Leave Me Alone" is the perfect plaintive album closer.

hey man i just wanted to say i find your content very very valuable youre criminally underrated please dont stop making these videos, you should make a patreon id have no problems with putting some money in your pocket to help you out

I've seen New Order live last weekend, it was amazing!

Ecstasy is a groovy track, turn it up loud when it gets going

Don't miss out on their b sides sometimes better than the a sides, e.g. Lonesome Tonight.

A few suggestions off the top of my head - Suede's self titled debut album Hope of the State's 'The lost Riots' The Jam Roxy Music Happy Mondays Nick Drake The Fall Iggy Pop U2 Mercury Rev The Libertines,

Your Silent Face and Leave Me Alone are the jewels of this album. Beautiful songs.

7:35 7:39 Just sounds like a The Cure song don't remember which though Leave me alone is definitely the best of this album for me

I'm glad you've explained about having to re-upload, because I watched this video a few days ago and then yesterday it had vanished. Thought I was going round the bend... I totally agree with you that Ultraviolence and Ecstacy don't work on this LP, I regard them as filler and I always skip them over when listening to this. (You'll possibly have the same experience with one song from each of their next two albums, too). But, if you treat this as a six-song EP, then this is a very nice record. The cover art is well-chosen; the mood is of a balmy warm summer day, and romance is in the air, but also there's loss and melancholy (of course; they're Brits!) The band's first 3 singles (Ceremony - Mar 81, Procession - Oct 81, and Temptation - Apr 82) were minor chart hits, reaching No.33, 38 and 29 and charting for just a few weeks. They weren't quite a household name yet. 1983 changed all that, when 'Blue Monday' became a Top 10 hit in 1983. (OK, Joy Div's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' was a posthumous hit single, reaching No.13 in July 80, but a BBC TV strike meant that the video was not seen on our pop TV shows, so we heard it only on the radio and had no visual image to relate it to). So, 1983 was when the band 'became mainstream'. This album sold well, debuting at No.4 in the UK charts. Agreed - Age of Consent is a stunner. We All Stand - hmmm, bit of a poor mix in the studio, I think. Try a live version, eg Rose Hill Hotel, Kilkenny (Ireland) Apr 83, I think that version nails the intended mood much better. My only small reservation is that I think the album could have sounded even better if they had used an experienced producer rather than do it by themselves. They were eager to break away from Hannett, but I suppose at that point they didn't know anyone else. Nowadays, I'd say this is my second fave New Order album (imagining that Ultra and Ecstacy aren't on it), but back then in 1983...As a Joy Div fan there was an ever-growing sense of loss and disappointment. What had happened to the raw passion and existential attack that these musicians had shaken our souls with just 3 years ago? Would we ever hear it again? Had they 'lost it'? New Order were lumbered with this huge albatross which made it very difficult for us to accept their new music on its own terms. I remember that very clearly from my teenage years!

Stephen Morris is a drum machine!!!

I forgot to say below, I have two suggestions for further 'First Reaction' vids, which you might (or might not) wish to try: 'Warehouse: Songs And Stories' by Husker Du (USA, 1987. Double album, 70 minutes). Imagine Nirvana playing songs almost as good as The Beatles. In fact, Nirvana cited Husker as an influence. 'Psychocandy' by The Jesus & Mary Chain (UK, 1985). Ground-breaking classic. Innocence and harsh noise merged perfectly. Very difficult for a band to pull that off, and you'll either love it or hate it, but they manage it, and if you get it, it'll change your world.

ALEX, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR IMPRESSIONS ABOUT SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, THE CREATURES, SIOUXSIE SOLO AND THE GLOVE ALBUMS! SIOUXSIE IS MY NUMBER ONE ARTIST FOLLOWED BY BOWIE.

Great collection of songs on this album. Bought it on vinyl the year it came out. Amazing time for music in general as this genre was developing.

I just have to say that I love your taste in music! Here is two suggestions, one song: Do you love me now, by The Breeders and Moto boys debute album: Moto boy

Going to move on to Electronic? It's the collab between Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr in the 90s.

Your Silent Face is so smooth. The layers of Leave Me Alone are so almost therapeutic.

Leave me alone Age of consent Your silent face...Brasil 🇧🇷🙋‍♂️I love New Order

We All Stand is really unique.

You should react to a couple of albums by The Jam

will you be reacting to substance? (new order singles compilation) it's got some of their best songs and most of the songs aren't ones that appear on any of the albums

“Your silence face “ love that one 👍

Really excited to hear Low Life reaction

Bro is knocking back the Twisted Tea

since you enjoy neutral milk hotel have you ever gave the glow pt.2 by the microphones a try?

By far my favourite new order album ❤️

Lets not mention modest mouse with new order. This is a good album of mixing the old with the new direction

Opinion about albums (still and substance) joy division , many, including me would be grateful

Ecstasy and leave me alone take me to another place and New order in general 💜💜

You should do Cocteau Twins - Head over heels, Victorialand or Heaven or Las Vegas first reaction!

New Order Your Silent Face came from Kraftwerk Trans Europe Express

Alex, if you haven't already, how about doing reaction to one of albums by My Bloody Valentine (Isn't Anything and Loveless)

Here's a group suggestion for you, you should check out any of the albums from Alice In Chains if you haven't heard of them before, and if you haven't then I recommend listening to Dirt.

They have a live version of we all stand that sounds way better

80s prom jams? You need to check out some OMD then! 😬

Why the city of Manchester has produced some of the best music of the last 40 years... The smiths, stone roses, etc

I say it again, as the video was taken down. It's a shame you had to listen to the album in such high temperatures, as for me at least, PC&L is best heard in winter, especially during snowfall.

Main New Order songs from that period, singles "Blue Monday" (their biggest hit) and "Thieves Like Us" do not appear in this album. It is shameful.

Where do you live, Arizona?

Missing Murder... should have been on the album

Just listen to the Peel Sessions version of We all Stand... it´s FAR better than the album version

by the way you should listen to cherub rock by smashinh pumpkins its hands down their best song the ones youve been reacting to are weak but man is that a good song

PLEASE make a reaction of Sigur Ros, I will appreciate it

New Order never sounded better than on this album.

Good album like Low Life a little better

Let's go direct to Low Life, Substance, Brotherwood and techniques. You will see the light !

dude how have you never heard any of these c l a s s i c albums before lol

the thing is if I saw your bored face i wouldn't listen any music.you have to listen it again

Not beginning with the two first, you will be disonpointed
