Not (The Best of) New Order...

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 05 '02
Pros: Blue Monday, True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle
Cons: Some crap songs from 1993's Republic
After lead singer Ian Curtis of Joy Division hanged himself in 1980, the remaining members of the band still had a desire to make music. Guitarist Bernard Sumner picked up the role of vocalist while bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris...

The Pop Side of New Order

by thevoid99 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 05 '01
Pros: A Good Compilation from New Order.
Cons: A Couple of Awful Tracks and Not Enough Older Classic Tracks.


Throughout their entire career, New Order has been known as one of the greatest bands in electronic and dance music. From their early days as Joy Division in the late 70s to their brilliant twenty-year career stance from 1981 to 2001, New...

(but is it?)

by noisey , Nov 07 '00
Pros: Contains most of New Order's singles from the second half of their career
Cons: Not enough early material represented, too many rerecordings, too many remixes, too much late filler
As much as I love and have loved the band, I must say I'm displeased and a bit disappointed with an album mistitled "(the best of) New Order." Something about it just doesn't quite sit with me very well - perhaps it's the fact that the songs on...

They're eeeeeevil

by Daniel_Rf , Dec 09 '00
Pros: dadada
Cons: lalalala
So there I was in this record store, happily pondering on who was more worthy of my cash, Chuck Berry or Iron Maiden, when in walks this 20something girl with bleached blonde hair, a tank top and clutching a lollypop. As she drew nearer to me, I...

The Best Of...I Disagree.

by adicarter , Apr 27 '01
Pros: Some good New Order tracks are here
Cons: Not a good retrospective, laden with poor remixes.
Speaking as someone who really does like New Order a superior representation of their work was summed up on 1987's 'Substance'. The CD kicks off with 'True Faith - 94' , one of the band's finest points however if you are looking to hear good remixes of...

A solid compilation

by stewartj , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Good selection of New Order classics!
Cons: A little light on the early years
from a ground-breaking band :-)

It's a lot to ask of folks to go and pick amongst New Order's many albums - although I'd highly recommend it - so this is a good starting point. Containing a good cross-section of their career, though perhaps a...

Best of? ... almost

by dlc24 , Apr 25 '01
Pros: Contains all commericial singles; Necessary addition to collection along side Substance CDs
Cons: Unnecessary True Faith 94 edit; Not much new if you own the other albums.
As a New Order fan since 1987, this compilation doesn't offer much new except for a reworked version with lyrics of Let's Go originally from an obscure British movie soundtrack Salvation. Having heard this track on the radio prior to to the Best of...

In Love With New Order

by Nini23 , Oct 02 '01
Pros: Some songs you haven't heard since the 80's.
Cons: Some songs you haven't heard.
"How does it feel to treat me like you do?" Blue Monday was one of New Order's most successful songs ever, along with Bizarre Love Triangle, and although the album "Substance" does a fine job of incorporating both songs in pure form, "The Best of New...

this is why remixes unnerve me

by Texttrap , May 20 '01
Pros: a good introduction to the band
Cons: not nearly complete enough
You know Blue Monday and Bizarre Love Triangle and now you're trying to decide if it's worth your while to get this CD. Am I right? I've got some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is, this disc has 17 tracks including the...
