BROTHERHOOD is a document of growth for New Order's ever-expanding sonic landscape. Packaged in the stark, utilitarian style that was the Factory label's trademark, the album belies its minimalist presentation with a sprawling, intricately crafted collection of pop gems, inspiringly diverse, yet uniformly infused with the band's trademark sincerity and off-kilter melodic sense. The album opens with the deceptively straight drum hits of "Paradise," which quickly adopts an intense double-tracked vocal and with it, an air of danger that offsets its soaring melody.
New Order developed into masters of intellectually stimulating dance music, an elusive combination of qualities. The album's biggest hit "Bizarre Love Triangle" exemplifies this rare mixture--atop a throbbing, heavily sequenced dance beat is played out a drama complete with consistently engaging musical shifts, dramatic lyrical turns, and a chorus that's instantly memorable and nothing short of gorgeous. The wistful vulnerability of "All Day Long" dissolves into a sprawling, regal affair and the supremely sweet "Every Little Counts" show yet another dimension to New Order's sonic richness.

Brotherhood Yes, this album does contain the ever-so-popular "Bizarre Love Triangle", but that's not the only good song. "Paradise", "All Day Long", "Angel Dust" and "State Of The Nation" are all brilliant New Order songs. Submitted by dontfallinatubofacid (Seattle, WA) Was This Review Helpful?

Every Little Counts says it all If you love New Order Buy this CD...... Submitted by tobjpg (Pittsburgh, Pa) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
3rd Best PC&L, Movement and Brotherhood in this order. Substance is a no-brainer. Tracks 2,3 & 6 from Technique belong on Brotherhood. A great mix of guitar soul searching and synth re-hashing. "I always thought we'd get along like a house on fire." Hehe. Submitted by djnorma (Seattle, WA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
One of the best! New Order's mellow dramatic dance pop continues to be an inspiration to all music lovers that were there in the late 70's and early 80's. I believe them to be the best group of the 80's. "Bizzare Love Triangle" is Awesome! I still listen to my old vinyls. Submitted by rmedellin (Austin, Texas) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Best NO album Their style focused more on the bass and guitar and this was the album that gave us "Bizarre Love Triangle",
probably the most popular NO song. Submitted by a reviewer (Seattle, WA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
