Best New Order album
I didn't include any best of or greatest hits like "Substance", studio albums only. I loved everything they did from 83-89, and was torn because "Technique" is a true masterpiece. But I'm going with "Power, Corruption & Lies". "Music Complete" was a roaring return for them too.

Re: Best New Order album
Is that your best-to-worst order? New Order was always more of a singles group for me, they never had the album to album consistency of Joy Division. But my order would probably go something like...
Power, Corruption & Lies
Technique
Low-Life
Brotherhood
Get Ready
Republic
Movement
Waiting for the Sirens' Call
Music Complete

Closer or Unknown Pleasures.

But if I were to choose a favorite, it'd have to be Brotherhood or Low Life.

I see what you're getting at and I almost agree, but I would argue that Power, Corruption & Lies bridges the gap between Joy Division and New Order perfectly.

Exactly! I had a friend in the 80's who was also a huge New Order fan and when "Technique" came out, he absolutely hated it. He felt it was too slick way too dance oriented. He revisited the album a year later and said his first impression was wrong. He still preferred the sound and style of their previous work, but recognized it's greatness.

I still have "∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif)" on heavy rotation. Especially this song. Just brilliant!
