Somehow New Order was one from back in the day that slipped under my radar. Not sure exactly how that happened though. Especially considering that I was very into what was considered "alternative" music back then. Maybe I was listening to too much Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, etc.
"Substance" is a great start. For studio albums, a lot of people would suggest "Power Corruption and Lies"--and it's fantastic--but I always suggest "Low Life."
Great song 👏 I should definitely take a look to New Order's discography. Don't know why I know and admire only their iconic "Blue Monday", and "Age of Consent" 🧐. There's so much for me to catch up and I'm turbo excited for it. Thanks Kevin!
i love how short these pieces are! just enough to make me really want to look into their discography myself. i do longer-form music writing over at record store if you want to check it out!
I love New Order!! I’ve also listened to Substance on repeat. My favorite is right next to yours: Thieves Like Us. 🙂
That’s a great one too!

It's never too late! :)
This is true. Okay, what's my starting point? Which album do I jump into first? Should I maybe try a greatest hits compilation?

By the way, Noah would be proud of me. I've been on a HUGE Radiohead kick lately.
Lol. Yes he would!
