This is probably my favourite New Order album! Really love Weirdo, Way Of Life, Bizarre Love Traingle and All Day Long 😍

You should definitely listen to their "81-82" 12" EP "Released in November 1982, it compiles the two tracks from New Order's second 7" single ("Procession" and "Everything's Gone Green") from September 1981, as well as "Hurt" and a longer 12" version of "Temptation", taken from the third single, released in April 1982. "Mesh" was taken from the 1981 Benelux 12" Everything's Gone Green." that's a great one. I would do that 82 era EP over Republic any day.

You need to listen to Blue Monday 12" version. Probably the best dance song ever made.

Excited to see the Technique video. From this point on, up to and including Regret. New Order were at their peak and absolutely untouchable.

New Order’s shop states that Low-Life is the usual fan favourite I could listen to the intro and first verse of Paradise forever!

Sempre de cara fechada ao reagir aos cds , dê um sorriso.

Technic next, one of their best album

I really want to see ur react of Joy and New Order substance there are a lot of good songs that u problably didnt know.

For a first time reaction, you're very astute. I agree with the comment you gave about New Order making interesting new tracks with the same ideas. I think you know, as I previously said, I feel you should review Republic. Regret is a fine single but isn't even my favourite song on the album! I think it's one of their best albums and ends the original band in a dark brooding mood (Gillian left before Get Ready was released, in 2001, and the four original members were never again in the band at the same time). Whether you like Republic, of course, depends on your taste and what you like about the band. My only concern would be giving it a fair chance since you've heard all this negativity over it and this may subconsciously affect your reaction...

New Order's first eight singles released between 1981 and 1984 were not taken from any album. If you don't listen to Substance, you're missing out on some of their best material.

Thanks for doing these reactions. Brotherhood has a special place for me as my first introduction to New Order. I didn't really like it at first because I wasn't used to their unique sound but ended up loving it. And of course, was introduced to the full catalogue that way. I still remember buying a cassette of Unknown Pleasures after getting to know late 80s New Order and wondering how is this the same band. What a fascinating band, love them so much. Can't wait to see you react to the Substances because hardly any of those songs are on the albums and the singles are great. Joy Division especially, the singles (disc one side two) are something else. And Everything's Gone Green, True Faith... wow... going to be a good couple of reviews! I think Technique is up there with their best. Some of the songs are the same old New Order dressed up in new clothes, but some are just flat out brilliant.

I've just came across your videos on KZfaq. They're brilliant. And thank you reminding me of that phenomenal version of Bizarre Love Triangle. New Order were always putting different versions of songs on everything.

ALL DAY LONG IS MY FAVORITE TRACK, THIS IS SO GOOD TO WATCH YOU LISTENING THOSE GEMS FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHEN I USE TO ENJOY THOSE MARVELOUS FOR YEARS. BUT ART FOR ME IS TIMELESS. I AM WILLING TO SEE YOUR REVIEW ON TECHINIQUE.

the B side of Brotherhood is the best pat of the album.

Yes, definitely do Republic.

Love this album - just the best....way of life...it doesn’t get better than that

the ending of every little counts makes more sense on vinyl cuz... there's the special effect and then.. end of album and needle goes back to its place.

My favorite version of BLT is the one on the soundtrack to Married to the Mob. The Shep Pettibone single mix is good too.

You better like as it is when it was

Thanks for the review - but Broken Promise is absolutely superb after a few listens. Really goes oomph. I think the songs on this record were great, but it sounds like one of those punk records that was produced in somebody's bedroom. Way of Life and Broken Promise would be floor-shakers with the right production.

I don't think you need to react to "Republic" because it came after the bands first breakup. They were separated for a few years and after they came back, they didn't work nearly as well as a band again. Regret is great though.

React to some Depeche Mode

I think that this is better than Low Life, but still not all that great. I remember buying it on vinyl in Oct 1986, during a lovely sunny day with golden leaves falling all around. Whenever I listen to side 1, especially the outros to Weirdo and Way Of Life, with their subtle melancholic touches, it replants that beautiful imagery in my mind. Other than that though, the band still come across as a bit directionless and unfocussed. The final track: Even though I kind of understood the hidden subtext of "Will you all please stop comparing us to Joy Division! Look, here's us doing a silly song where I can't keep a straight face singing it - you see, we're normal fun chaps!" Even so, I don't care whether you're The Beatles or Beethoven, I didn't just pay £5.99 of my hard-earned cash to hear studio outtakes. It just sounds like they don't give a crap. I also recall that I had to take the vinyl record back to the shop and exchange it for the tape cassette version, because the vinyl record jumped so much. (I at first thought that the ending of Every Little was just my record player). At this point, I was almost ready to stop listening to NO, as other bands were emerging and playing exciting, relevant music, taking the spirit of punk and bringing it to new places. In particular, a young four-piece from Leeds who hadn't yet released an album had already captured my imagination/heart very vividly with a string of impassioned singles. (In fact, what a good idea for a First Impression: 'George Best' by The Wedding Present). However, re NO, the best is yet to come, for they overcame their lean period soon after this, and released the blinding (non-album) single 'True Faith' / '1963' the following year, and then their (in my opinion) best album 'Technique' in early 1989.

What's strange is that I had this on CD, and gave it a lot of listens, but kind of forgot it all until watching this...then it was like "oh yeah, i remember this". So it's a pleasant album, but for me it wasn't enough to stand the test of time. Not like Power Corruption and Lies, which stayed with me.

You have to do their later albums get ready to current.

There comes a time, when we heed a certain call. When the viewers must come together as one There are people dying and oh its time to lend a hand....To Patreon! The greatest gift of all We are the viewers We are your supporters We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets start giving Yeah

The problem Brotherhood has, is for the first time they had used up most of their best songs up for singles around this time - and what singles they are! Never really hurt them before but is does here.

Really love this album

great reaction

This is not the most accessible album, it feels a bit claustrophobic and distant. Just like Movement, but with less excess. It's funny to hear this follow-up to Low Life, which had brighter vibe in general.

Face A bass, batterie guitar, Face b électronic. There was no computer, it was the beginning of synthetiser.

One of my least favourite NO albums. Didn't even like "Bizarre Love Triangle" back in the days, but it has certainly grown on me. "State of the Nation"... Probably their worst single ever, in my opinion. However, a great reaction video, as usual.

No, I prefer Low Life to Power Corruption as well, it's better - not much but it's a bit more consistent and fun!

This is my favourite New Order album. I had a similar reaction when it first came out; there's so much going on but it's a real grower and still surprises me to this day. State Of The Nation should never have been added; it's garbage, still under the influence of Arthur Baker by the sound of it, anyway.

Always agreed with the general consensus that it has muddy production and sound, and inferior songs to PCL, Low-Life and Technique. There are also just bizarre choices. "As it is when it was," should've been an acoustic song, full stop. Its a beautiful piece of music ruined by suddenly blaring bass that Hooky brings into it, followed by the heavy percussive drums. Reminds me of how R.E.M. really figured out how to play King of Birds on the road, simplifying it, stripping it down and making it a truly gorgeous piece. Still features electrified playing, but the bulk of the piece is played with subtlety in their live show clips, the Marshall drums are gone for the most part replaced with bongo's, and quiet drumming, the heavy electrified piece is reduced to a simple part played by Buck etc. AIIWIW needed that. Instead it was just a mix of beautiful playing combined with bombastic stupidity that stomped all over the gorgeous intro. On their own the songs stand out to some extent, Weirdo is fantastic, AIIWIW had the potential to be spectacular, BLT is greatness, All Day Long is a great lost track, Angel Dust is a misfire but with some great elements, and even the goofball reinterpretation of Lou Reed with Every Little Counts, is lovely, with some stunning synth work towards the end. Broken Promise and Way of Life suffer at least in part due to their location, the 4th and 5th, Hooky Bass heavy songs in a row. I love his playing but for whatever reason on Brotherhood side one, it becomes wearisome after a while (which is funny because flip it over to BLT, and suddenly it's the most beautiful playing you can ever have imagined).

There's a drum beat that New Order uses on half their songs... boom...tat....boom...tat..tat...

Angel Dust is bad asf

Brotherhood is their worst of the 80's

Almost every song is pretty unmemorable besides BLT
