Clearly deserve more recognition, its better than Brotherhood and its pretty much at the same level as PCL (if not better idk yet), theres no misses on this album : its bangner after bangner . 4,3/5

Undeniably New Order's magnum opus at that stage. 1-3 starts off w full synthpop NO. Whilst there are some kinda funny sounds in 1's intro, the tone behind is great (and a consistent highlight of this alb). The vox border on not great at times, but this fades. Instrumentally very cool, and like most tracks here (so im not gonna mention it for each) it is magnified in its conclusion. 2 again is a bit cheesily outdated at first but rapidly turns into a super dancey bop, almost disco, but still with the post punk guitars subtly in the back. 3 is on the sadder side but is still great especially with the added pianos from hte midtrack. Like Age of Consent on the previous LP, my fav track here is ofc the post punkest one, with 4 being a crazy jam after a Burzumesque intro - could well be my fav NO track. After such explosiveness, the ghostly calm of 5 is actually welcome. The added guitars at 1:40 start to make the track magnificient, and the only issue is the final fadeout. These two tracks alone bumped this to a 4.3 almost. Sadly, 6 is not as transcendental, with a quirky start and some bordeline vox again, and is more in line with the style of 1-3. Still a fine track, where 7 isn't. The main hook sounds like a Romeo and Juliet musical track and I cant unhear it, but beside that the track is corny and awkward, and the only onw I did not like on this alb. It's also the only track to feel overlong, as it doesn't have a great conclusion to extend the runtime. 8 is a fun way to conclude on a happy note with lots of 80s punk/Clash vibes to it, which prevents a further drop in points but also doesn't gain any. 4.1

Hey you know what? This was Factory Records' 100th release. Cool, huh? Yeah, cool. Austere post-punk has now been totally diluted into solar, synthpoppy new wave, the crystalline guitar accepting his background role alongside the elastic bass. The true stars are the hypnotic synths and samples - much more conspicuous than on Power, Corruption and Lies - leading the epic single "The Perfect Kiss", almost a disco jam given the prominence of those irresistible "clap claps". And almost all tracks are as successfully bangin' as this one, "Elegia" being the exceptional non-banger but it's got a pass because it sounds like what the Stranger Things soundtrack tried to be. Notwithstanding this outlier, New Order will make you dance hard bop after bop, having seamlessly blended their rock roots and their love for poppy electronic.
