Favorite New Order Album

"Technique" for me, the melting pot of all that makes New Order so unique, touching and outstanding.

Technique and Low-life are indeed probably their best albums. I voted however for PC&L because it is their most creative album. It was a giant's step from Movement and Joy Division, and it set the bases of New Order's unique sound, together with Temptation and Blue Monday.

Technique definitely the best. However, I have a real soft spot for Brotherhood, though I'm not sure why............

I can't stand Technique, it is their second worst after Republic. I guess I am an old school fan, seeing as I've been disappointed with everything after True Faith.

tonight is was mostly Technique (i would have gone for Sudstance Abuse but couldn't see it listed )

It says I already voted.... Damn, I forgot what i voted for, or that i even voted... wiiiieeerrrrd

You mean SUBSTANCE ABUSE...what have you been taking HAC?:p For me it has to be LOW LIFE...then TECHNIQUE.:D

the wonderfully hypnotic and uplifting technique...

Republic for me right now. Spooky and Everyone Everywhere are SO COOL. I also count Technique and Get Ready as faves, depends on what I'm listening to at the moment...

:D:D:D:D:D anita

Hmm so so difficult as Technique is probably their BEST album but Brotherhood is my FAVOURITE album hence my vote has been made.

Likewise......

I can't remember if I voted for Low-life or PCL! :\ohwell:

My fav is Get Ready cuz it got me into NO. It will always bring back the best memories and get me teary eyed... But Brotherhood really moves me, I think its one of their best, at least second to Technique, which it seems most people here think is the best

Technique. I just love the mix of guitar tracks with dance tracks, it blends very nice.

Technique is my favourite, with Low Life a close second, then Brotherhood and Get Ready just after that.

Technique is just brilliant, no huge hits or anything just everything which epitimises new order and the songs finished off perfectly.

Cheers ALEX

Low life is the best and most "comlete" album in my opinion. Never even thought about skipping a single track while listening to it (ok maybe elegia sometimes when I want to sing along).

PCL is certainly creative and brilliant but the sound hasn't quite gelled yet to be complete.

Technique would be my 2nd favorite....might be 1st except for Fine Time which does not fit with anything else on the album (should have been issued as a separate single in my opinion...should have released Vanishing Point as a single in my opinion...)

I honestly don't see people's attraction in Technique. Vnishing point would be my favourite song from it but everything else I just find mediocre. I haven't heard republic or brotherhood yet but judging from what others in this thread have said, brotherhood will be on the list next time HMV have a sale!!

I voted for "movement" myself as I like the majority of songs on it. A very close second would be PC&L but is let down by that Godawful song "we all stand". With pure belters like Age of Consent, Your Silent Face and Leave Me Alone, how could they sleep at night knowing they vandalised that album?

Since I can only vote for one, I'll list the albums in order which I like them. I'd explain why, but that could take days.

1. Low-Life
2. Power, Corruption & Lies
3. Technique
4. Brotherhood
5. Get Ready
6. Republic
7. Movement

it was very hard to choose between PCL and Low Life... I chose PCL, for the innovative aspect.

Also voted for PC&Lies. First NO album I bought and contains all time classics such as AOC,YSF&LMA.

On balance, Technique. Their most consistent album. All great songs. Would buy it for Mr Disco alone.

Still think a lot of Movement, though. Like Ceremony, a link with the past.

Technique was the first full New Order album I ever got, up til then I had just a handful of singles. Aside from the nostalgia factor, it really nailed their sound down. It's so cohesive, and still sounds great.

But these days, Get Ready is almost tied with Technique, as far as favorite album goes....
