New Order's fourth album BROTHERHOOD was released in 1986, following up the acclaimed Low-Life. The power of their songwriting shines on the brilliant single “Bizarre Love Triangle” and other highlights including the fan favorite “Weirdo” and the ballad “All Day Long.” Disc One of Rhino's new 2-CD COLLECTOR'S EDITION features the newly remastered original album, while bonus Disc Two compiles assorted remixes and rarities.
The bonus disc presents a revamped 1988 version of the band's seminal 1983 hit “Blue Monday.” Highlights also include 12” single versions of “Touched By The Hand Of God” and “Bizarre Love Triangle” as well as two remixes of “True Faith” and its B-side “1963.”
Comprised of Bernard Sumner (guitar, vocals), Stephen Morris (drums), Peter Hooks (bass) and Gillian Gilbert (keyboards), Manchester, U.K.-based band New Order was formed in 1980 by the remaining members of Joy Division after lead singer Ian Curtis' suicide. They went on to develop a groundbreaking sound mixing synthesizer-driven pop, electronic dance beats and alt-rock, releasing five influential albums during the '80s that changed the course of alternative music.

Not my favorite New Order record, but definitely worthy for some standout tracks-- "All Day Long" could possibly be their best song ever, while "Weirdo", "Broken Promise" and of course "Bizarre Love Triangle" are not to be missed. This album has more of a "rock n' roll" feel than a dance record, which is good thing-- in contrast, I found the bonus disc to be virtually unlistenable-- the remixes at times are rough and choppy, resulting in what often sounds like the cd is skipping-- and we all know how unpleasant that sound is.

Their most underrated album-- and of all their releases this is the one that consistently sounds the most modern and least "dated" to me. New Order is at their peak instrumentally here as well as in their songwriting, much of which often sounds improvisational, a classic New Order album.
