Like always.. vote and share your thoughts.

My pick is Angel Dust, somehow my least favorite New Order song :D Don't know why, I just don't like it.

Kind of difficult to guess the results though.. there is a lot of contradition in sight, because songs like All Day Long have fans and people who can't stand it..

All Day Long is in my personal top 5, so ;)

Never been a big fan of this album, so I had to pop the album in for this poll. I think I only pop this album in if I have the need to listen to "All Day Long", a beautiful piece of work.

After listening to the tracks again, "Broken Promise" is the lowest of the low. I can't find anything redeeming on it.

"As it is when it Was" always seemed to be odd song that doesnt work at all, at least to me. "Broken promise" uses that recyled bass line, so it always seemed inferior to the old JD song. always skipped those two.

other than that, i've always liked Brotherhood. "Every Little Counts" is an homage to the Velvet Underground, let 'em have some fun, at least they did not take themselves so seriously back then.

brotherhood.... my favourite album..... what should I choose? way of life is the song I´ve listened less times of this album. is this a good reason to choose it? maybe :D I just realized I chose broken promise by mistake. I made a huge mistake. could you please add a vote to WOL and take one of BP? than you very much. I´m terribly sorry :nervous:

"Broken Promise" i can't remember when i listened to it the last time, so it can't be a good one...

Angel Dust for me too - take this song out, and the rest works nicely. Actually really like the first half of Brotherhood, although I wouldn't neccessarily say I like NO's guitarry-stuff more on the whole. Weirdo is great, but has always been slaughtered live. CTB :bear:

I voted for A Broken Promise even though I really like the song.

Brotherhood comes in 3rd on my list of New Order albums, but I think cos my copy has State of The Nation on it, that has lowered my opinion of the album as a whole. Silly but true.

Cheers ALEX

None of the above.

I dunno, but with the exception of "Paradise", it's hard for me to listen to the 1st half of this album. Too bright and happy sounding, I prefer the more moody stuff that NO does. I'm a big fan of BLT, Angel Dust and Every Little Counts though

It's an embarrassing half-arsed attempt at a song, and only marginally better than the full-arsed but cringeworthy All Day Long (which at least has a decent tune).

Angel Dust, I do not think is a bad song as in "Rock the Shack" but it is inferior to the others.

Now how can anyone say that Broken Promise is not a great song I cannot understand. Probably in my top 5. As for Every little counts I am with Jeffsy on this, great tune, very funny, a perfect ending to a well rounded album.

Have you liked anything since? It's odd for you to be posting on a site for a band that you haven't liked for 16 years.

Im so sick of Bizarre Love Triangle. Over here in America its like the only New order song ever played. I hate it as much as I cant stand hearing I will survive. That is the most over played song ever.

I agree, it's definately overrepresented here in the States. But it's still New Order, so I won't complain :D

i actually love Angel Dust...i think it's one of the strongest tracks on Brotherhood.

i also love Every Little Counts...it's so fabulous!

"Paradise" is horrible. "i want you, i need you", lame.

Every Little Counts isn't as strong closing track as the album should have. The great B-side is somehow ruined after great trio of Bizarre Love Triangle - All Day Long - Angel Dust by ELC. It's not even close as the worst New Order track, but is the weakest on the album on my opinion. Besides that one, Brotherhood has eight very strong tracks. Great album.

I have to agree I HATE BLT, way overrated it's the only NO song I can't stand, I even change stations when it comes up. But Paradise... My favorite!
