I never knew New Order were actually good.
After years of having the opinion that New Order weren’t really that good, riding on the wave of ‘Blue Monday’ for their whole career, I listened to Power, Corruption & Lies last night and it’s really good. Then I ended up on a New Order kick for the rest of the night and realised they have so many great songs – ‘Age of Consent’, ‘Temptation’, ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’, ‘Love Vigilante’, and so on. Why was this kept from me? Why didn’t someone say “New Order are actually pretty good; you should listen to ‘Temptation’ and do the “up, down, turn around dance”? ‘Cause no one said that to me.
So yeah, New Order = great.
