Imaginal Disk. It's not a bad album, but I'm struggling to see what separates it from other really bright psychy synthpop albums.

It's like "what does this do differently that other bright synthpop albums does not have?" Because like you could put that Carly Rae Jepsen album in the same place and it'd make just as much sense I think

"need to get into New Order"



Technique is an easy album to get into. It's a lot of fun. I generally like NewOrder but most of their albums just aren't as good as the ones their contemporaries put out.

There's a pain

A famine in your heart

An aching to be free

Can't you see?

All love's luxuries

Are here for you and me



[Chorus]

And when our worlds they fall apart

When the walls come tumbling in

Though we may deserve it

It will be worth it.





Heh also I was into this album before that Perfect Circle one fwiw.

The 80s output of New Order is close to being flawless. But wtf is Imaginary Disk???

VH1 is back apparently, I dunno. I was just upset a "staff" gave this a 2.

Can't forget Get Ready from New Order either. I say that one is underrated.

The lead single Crystal is one of my all time favs

Yeah, Get Ready is their only late-era album that’s up there with their heyday releases. Turn My Way is also a jam with Billy “I’m finally singing in NO” Corgan.

Probably should be giving my opinions on NewOrder in their proper album topics. But I like songs here or there, throughout their discography but the only albums I own are "Get Ready" which was alright, gosh I hadn't heard that album in like 20 years heh I remember a couple songs being quite good. And "Technique" which is just a lot of fun to spin.

Yeah I just played a snippet of 'Blue Dress' that song is ho-hum. I forgot I singled that song out as being only okay in my quick sound off. I forgot I did that haha but I know it never was one I particularly liked.

Wait until you find out that I think this is a 1.5 but Sputnik won't let me lower my rating
