The Cure played Unknown Pleasures, Closer and Movement? Fuck me - I certainly missed that. Or was it just one of Robert Smith's dreams that they did that - presumably before all being eaten by spiders... Congratulations, you missed the point. New Order should play a complete trilogy of albums, like The Cure did, and those 3 albums would be the best.
To fairly compare to the Cure's trilogy, New Order should make a box set consisting of 'The Rest Of', 'Republic', and the second disc of 'Substance' as a trilogy Hold on there, professor! Are you insinuatin' that Substance disc dos is BAD? Come on now. It's got IALP (best one on there), Procession (extremely good), Cries & Whispers and Hurt (pretty good), decent remixes of BM/Confusion/Thieves, Lonesome Tonight (terribly good), Kiss of Death (excellent remix), and 1963. The only really bad one on there is Shame of the Order.
I like most of the songs, but Kiss of Death, Shame of the Nation, the Thives Like Us Instrumental, and the Confusion Instrumental really irk me, but I agree that IALP, The Beach, 1963, and Procession are awesome tracks, but that does not make up for the lackluster instrumentals and Kiss of Death.
