new order - movement

[bryantm3]

oh dear...

this is majestic. i've always liked the tracks on substance, but i always found the actual album tracks to be abnormally suck-ful compared to the singles, especially 'power, corruption, and lies' which, minus 'blue monday' and 'age of consent' has got to be an awful album. i mean "our love is like the flowers, the rain, the sea and the hours"? it's reprehensible. on the other hand, 'low life' is pretty good, especially with tracks like 'elegia' and 'sub-culture'. 'brotherhood' and especially 'technique' i find utterly boring. so i figured when i picked up the new remaster of 'movement' it would be more suckage. boy, i was wrong. this is their best actual album out there by far. emotionally powerful and deep, mesmerizing... wow.
