moin to all,
I´m NO fan since 1987. Her is my personal NO Album Hitlist (and some frustation):
What are you thinking?
Mr. Egg, are you off your tits?
Regret is a classic piece of New Order irony. Your brain is obviously constructed of marmalade and/or various pieces of cheese.
What effect does a TOTP video have on an album?. Have you got the new one? What are you talking about?
Sorry i mean Republic(i forgott the name)
I know that my thread sounds very bad to other NO fans. But i am so frustrated about this.
Marksman, its abit fucking tricky trying to work out what your banging on about. Regret was released about 10 years ago and the video was a one-off piss take. They were out in LA having a laugh, which went contrary to what New Order normally do... which is moan and sing sad songs. The beach deal was another daft New Order stunt. Forget about it.
You wrote this...
Republic (sorry,but regret is bullshit. I can´t believe that NO is so sinking down in a musical way. How could they do that? David Hasselhoff in a Music Video :-((( What are you thinking?
and I've read it a few times....do you honestly think they are fans of David Hasslehoff?
@ Huntsman
NO are Fans of David Hasselhoff :-))
No, i don´t believe that! I hope -Get Ready- sounds more in the old(real) No-Style.
Well Mark there's no convincing you. To be honest, I'm not sure whether or not I'm actually communicating with a talking badger.
Do you sip milk from a small saucer?

Blimey Mark mate, the last 8 years must have been a bitch, if you are only now getting your frustrations out over Republic.
They didnt even like each other at the time they made Republic, so dont worry too much if you dont like it....

Jeez...I guess I'm just blinded by the light that is New Order...I have very much enjoyed all of their albums...including Republic...Jumping Jesus Fucking Christ, I even liked Revenge, and the Other Two...and some of Monaco's stuff...of course, I do have a screw or two loose...

Jeff, I like Republic too..... i listen to it quite regularly (love everyone everywhere)....i know its an unpopular opinion....but hey, go on shoot me!

Huntsman is this forum's gem. :D
As for MY opinion, here we go:
1 - Low Life... for me it's the absolute best New Order album. I NEVER got tired of it and every track is good. The only down side is the fact that The Perfect Kiss was edited.
2 - Technique. 3 - Brotherhood. 4 - Republic. 5 - Power, Corruption and Lies 6 - Movement
Substance is not an album, but a singles compilation. And if I could slip in Joy Division albums, I would slip Closer right between Technique and Brotherhood, and Unknown Pleasures as the last one (never liked this one besides New Dawn Fades and She's Lost Control).
I'm not putting Get Ready in there because it's too new to judge.

Seb...
were you a New Order fan first??? Well, I would think so...but as far as I am concerned... Joy Division was a little too gloomy when I first started listening to them... I was kind of put off by movement at first as well...they were just a tad too dark...but over the years I have grown to love them both...

For me, it would have to be -
1.Unknown Pleasures 2.Closer 3.Low Life 4.Technique 5.Brotherhood & PCL 7.Movement 8.Republic
I read that Stephen Hague, who produced Republic, had to piece the album together because the group couldn't stand to be in the same room,which may explain some of Republic's shortcomings. Personally, I think the album suffers from poor production (where's Hooky's bass?) and would have been better had the group done it themselves like they used to (Low Life, PCL)
Here are my favorites:
Well, I'll give it a try...
Just have to say that "Brotherhood" is my favorite because it is the 1st NO album I bought when it came out... Having heard the BLT 12" and loved it to death...
Although, I guess, the best one, objectively, would have to be Technique or Low Life...
Too soon to say where I'd put Get Ready
Ok I have to differ here... I love Republic, I think it is one of the best albums they put out. Here is my list of favorite albums:
I am really into Electronic too so maybe that is why I loke Republic so much. I haven't gotten a chance to experience too much Joy Division and I know when I do my order may change completely.
mark: forget REPUBLIC enjoy GET READY don´t look back in anger :D here are my results:

Yup Jeffie (I'm starting to sound like Huntsie), I was a New Order fan first. It took a long while before I could consider myself a Joy Division fan. Not only did I find their music too gloomy, but also a little hard to listen to (as would say Bernard). At first, I liked Atmosphere, Love Will Tear Us Apart and New Dawn Fades. And then Transmission and She's Lost Control. And then I took the time of listening carefully CLOSER, and I thought it was a FANTASTIC album. Isolation and Heart and Soul are moving tracks, A Means To An End ROCKS, and the three last tracks (The Eternal, 24 Hours and Decades) are simply fantastic.

NOT TRUE!
It was Stephen Hague's who wanted it to be this way.. and that contributed to the deterioration of the relations within the band.

@ Liv
Yes, the last 8 years where the hell for me! After Rebublic came out my heart was bleeding .
--> I want my money back ;-)
At the first time i heared crystal (on MTV) my personal hell come to an end...
1 - Low-life (would be perfect if Perfect Kiss were not edited) 2 - Technique 3 - Substance (OK, I know it's not really an album) 4 - Republic (sometimes I think it is their worst album because it lacks of spontaneity and because of Stephen fucking Hague, the man who makes NO sound like the PSB, but I like to play it in my car. Actually, it must be the album I listen the most often to) 5 - PCL & Brotherhood (although both contain very good tracks: Paradise, for instance) 6 - Movement
I became a Joy Division fan later. I do like their first two albums, but I hate Still.
I'm an Electronic fan as well (especially the first and the third albums). I don't like TOT that much, I hate Revenge ("I'm Hooky and I wanna play the fucking bass") and I find that Monaco is flat.
Voilà, c'était le vote d'une partie du jury belge :-)
@ Ben
Yes, STEPHEN BULLSHITASSHOLELICKINGDICKPIG HAGUE! :D
Hooky is a nice musician and the coolest bassplayer but that was all. I don´t like Revenge too. I´ve never heared stuff from monaco.
I am a NO fan, not a fan of their projects.
