- Power, Corruption & Lies (1983) ‘Power, Lies & Corruption’ is the defining New Order release. After ‘Movement’, the weight of expectation had been lifted and the group were able to push their sound and songwriting into bold new places. ‘
- Low-Life (1985) Expanding on the new-wave mastered on previous album ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’, here each song is trying to outdo the last in terms of creativity as the group dabble with house, rock, and beyond. ‘
- Technique (1989) Without a doubt the most fun entry in New Order’s daunting catalogue. Partly recorded in Ibiza and influenced by clubs in New York and London, consider this the most carefree album of the bunch.
- Brotherhood (1986) ‘Brotherhood’ shows a band in the midst of battle for their own soul – and it sounds tremendous. The record’s first half is awash with slinking guitar-led anthems such as ‘Broken Promise’ and some of Hooky’s best bass work in the shape of ‘Way Of Life’, but the album’s latter half is where the party is.

The tenth studio album by the Manchester icons, and the tenth on our list, is their most novel offering. The album presented itself as a series of firsts. It was the first to feature Gillian Gilbert after a decade-long hiatus, and it was the first to feature new bassist Tom Chapman, who had replaced the outgoing Peter Hook, who had quit over longst...
The ninth album by New Order, Lost Sirens, was the last to feature bassist Peter Hook. Weirdly, at this point, Hook had left the band almost six years prior to its release in 2007. The tracks on the album were recorded as part of the sessions for 2005’s Waiting for the Siren’s Call. In a Brazilian interview promoting the São Paulo appearance, Gilbe...
The eighth offering from New Order, 2005’s Waiting for the Siren’s Call was the first album not to feature keyboardist Gilbert. She had taken a break from the band in 2001 to look after her and Morris’s children. The album was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire, England and cost a whopping £700,000 to make. Interestingly, this is the first...
Get Ready was the band’s first album in eight years come to its release in August 2001. It was also the last to feature their classic line-up. The album also carried a melancholic feel, as it was dedicated to Joy Division and New Order’s late manager Rob Gretton, who died in 1999. Peter Hook stated that the album’s title “could mean anything or not...
New Order’s sixth studio album,Republic, was the band’s first album since its long-time label Factory Records in 1992.

The lead single, the classic ‘Regret’ became their last top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart. The b...
The band’s fourth album was released on 29th September 1986. It contains their early trademark sound of a post-punk and electronic fusion. However, the two styles are for the most part divided between the two sides. Brotherhood spawned only two singles, ‘State of the Nation’ and ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’. The latter was their breakthrough hit in the ...
New Order’s third album, Low-Life, is considered to be a turning point in the band’s career. Frequently discussed as one of their most vital works, it displays their sonic transformation from post-punks to the titanic dance-rockers we know today. The album features an increased role for synthesisers and samplers but marries them effectively with th...
New Order’s debut album was not an instant success but has retrospectively gained support. It marked a tragic period for the surviving Joy Divisiontrio, who found themselves at a personal and sonic crossroads. With the exceptions of ‘Ceremony’ and ‘In a Lonely Place’, which had been played at the final stages of Joy Division, the rest of the album ...
One of New Order’s best-loved, Technique, captures them at their absolute dance-rock best. Partially recorded in Ibiza, it incorporates Balearic beat and acid house, making it a party classic. Given the time, the album was heavily influenced by the nascent acid house scene, and by Sumner’s experiences at London’s weekly dance event Shoom. Technique...
You guessed it…undoubtedly New Order’s most outstanding work. The band’s second album was met with universal acclaim upon release. It remains a favourite today. Often regarded as one of the greatest albums of the ’80s, it features the classic tracks ‘Age of Consent’, ‘Leave Me Alone’ and ‘The Village’. The American version even included their magnu...
