 (7 Customer Reviews)
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.

 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.

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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A crap record.
The critics panned this one for good reason. Get Bizarre Love Triangle on Substance. This is a disappointing album full of flawed tracks.

| | New Order Substance CDs (1987)
Brotherhood music CDs
$19.15  
The 2-LP set of SUBSTANCE, a collection of 12" remixes of New Order's most popular pre-1987 singles, is wholly contained on the first CD. The second CD features the B-sides of these 12" singles (most are unavailable anywhere else), none of which were included on the LP or cassette.
New Order always shone brightest as a singles band, and this stellar two-disc set collects most of the a- and b-sides from singles released between the band's inception and 1987. "Ceremony," a leftover from the band's past as Joy Division, opens the proceedings. It is followed by 150-odd minutes of material that, through the 1980s, set the standard for dance music. Classics like "Everything's Gone Green," "Perfect Kiss" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" appear next to alternate versions of the stunning "Temptation" and "Confusion." Also included is "True Faith," which, along with "1963," was recorded especially for this collection. Opening the second ...

Brotherhood songs
$5.99 
To simply call this album the apotheosis of the shoegazing scene--that brief epoch of U.K. indie-rock in which bands turned away from melodic clarity and instead chased after the incendiary rapture of sheer guitar-driven noise--would be an understatement. LOVELESS is the sound of what might've happened if Brian Eno had produced DAYDREAM NATION. Or perhaps ...
| | New Order Movement CD (1981)
Brotherhood album
$9.39
From the slow, deliberate build and melodic interplay of its opening moment, the mid-tempo "Dreams never End," MOVEMENT boldly states the band's more experimental, slightly less emotionally turgid agenda. That Sumner is trapped under the influence of Curtis is undeniable--at times, the resemblance is alarming, but MOVEMENT is the sound of Sumner finding his voice. The spacey synth-pop of "The Him" foreshadows the sound New Order was to slowly develop, as Sumner became more comfortable with the upper reaches of his vocal range. Dynamic play abounds--the existentialist ...

Brotherhood songs
$6.75
Remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
Prior to joining Kiss, Peter Criss spent years honing his drumming chops in numerous New York City-area bands, playing other styles besides Kiss's heavy metal. For his 1978 Kiss solo album, Criss reconnected with a member of one of his old bands, Stan Penridge, with whom he co-wrote the majority of the tunes.
Sensing that most fans would want to hear more ballads in the vein of his 1976 hit with Kiss, "Beth," several are included: "Don't You Let Me Down," "Easy Thing," "Kiss the Girl Goodbye," and "I Can't Stop the Rain." The more rock-oriented selections are more mellow than Kiss's usual fare, with a cover of "I'm Gonna Love You,'" as well as the originals "Tossin' and Turnin'," "You Matter to Me," and "That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes."
Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte.
Engineers: Bob Schaper, Mike Stone, Dave Wittman.
Personnel: Peter Criss (vocals, drums, percussion, background vocals); Stan Penridge (guitar, background vocals); ...

| | ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits CDs (1993) With DVD
Brotherhood CD music
$32.09
In seemingly random order, GOLD contains fourteen of Abba's twenty American hits (the remainder are on MORE ABBA GOLD); which is to say, it contains fourteen of the most delectable pop productions of the '70s and early '80s. "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and the other landmarks of upbeat melancholy are complex concoctions--all layered harmonies and brilliant keyboard arrangements. These songs don't easily fit into any pop timeline, which may be why Abba received much of their acclaim long after breaking up. What may have seemed like Euro-pop fluff in its day, has been revealed by time to be truly classic studio pop.
The Swedish band's songs had show-tune and '60s-pop roots, skirted around the edge of disco, and were an unspoken influence on new wave. Without them, Madonna's very existence would be highly unlikely. With its Latin beat and gospel harmonies, "Lay Your Love All Over Me," one of the five songs here that didn't chart in the U.S., sounds like the very source of "Like A Prayer." Like Madonna, Abba had a grandiose vision of pop's place in the world--"who could live without it, I ask in all honesty," is how they put it in "Thank You For The Music," their Broadway-like farewell gesture. Hearing these singles, its hard to imagine anyone ever did.

Brotherhood album
$12.19
The eclectic Portland band 44 Long has absorbed most of the available musical influences in its first decade of existence--the trained ear can detect traces of 1960s pop, 1970s glam, and 1990s grunge in its artistic DNA. Helmed by multi-instrumentalist Brian Berg, the band's third album is a stripped-down synthesis of its previous inspirations, with perfect pop miniatures like "Ever Find a Way?" and "Please Don't Love Me Now" showing that rock bombast doesn't always have the best tunes.
