I voted for Technique. It was a blind purchase for me based on the cool cover. At the time I was into metal/rock and this album turned me on to electronic music in a big way.

IMHO, "Get Ready" is their worst effort. Completely unmemorable aside for the fantastic "Crystal" - which sounds like vintage New Order.
Personally, I think it's a tight race between "Power, Corruption & Lies" and "Technique". "Low-life" isn't far behind either.
That being said, "Substance 1987" is possibly the best compilation ever released by a band. If you don't have it (for shame!) - do yourself a favour and go get it!

But have they ever released a truly bad record?

I only have Low-Life, Technique and the recent greatest hits. I'd probably rank Technique as my favorite, but as mentioned I think if you like their sound the quality of their work is pretty consistent. Peter Hook is my favorite bass player of all time--I love his simple, yet melodic lines that almost carry the whole song sometimes.

As for "Republic", it's a hit and miss album. There are some truly wonderful tracks such as "Regret", "World" and "Spooky" but there are as many forgettable songs as well.
But have they ever released a truly bad record?
I do think that Sumner has lost it though....
