I need some New Order help...
 

Okay, so I know 4 or 5 NO songs, and they have blown me away. I want to know where to go next, but based on "Bizarre Love Triangle" and some of their other stuff, I am a bit apprehensive - I'm not a huge fan of super synthy stuff.

My two favorites in particular are "Age of Consent" and "Ceremony" (and yes, it's shameful but obvious - my knowledge is restricted to the Marie Antoinette trailers.) What sounds the most like that stuff? I plan on buying something on iTunes, but I'm worried b/c the singles collections have bad reviews, and I'm not really a fan of the idea of singles. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Get "Movement" from 1981. It is pretty "rock" compared to a lot of their stuff and is a personal favorite of mine. It's their first album and has quite a few great tracks.

Most of New Order is synthy...But actually the album with Bizzare Love Triangle on it is one of their most guitar-based albums: Brotherhood.

But yeah, if that's what you like, buy Movement. You might like disc 2 of the Substance CD as well.

Any last tidbits before I start making purchases?

I need more information. You just want the New Order that sounds like Joy Division?

Power, Corruption and Lies
Brotherhood
Movement
Peel Sessions
Low-Life
The Best of New Order

totally agree with daycare except best of new order.... get substance instead. cuts out all the ibiza shit they do!
power corruption and lies and lowlife are essential

I have Substance and really like it. I would recommend starting there, I guess.

i like joy division better
