New Order - Power Corruption and Lies REACTION/REVIEW

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

Age of Consent is the shit

[@lemmmakestunes8312]

@@absentiaaaaa ????????????????????????

[@evanwright9016]

Pause.

[@S-jq1yk]

Their best song imo

[@Nsj807]

Great opener

[@finlaylonghurst]

age of consent is my most listened song of all time, a banger to be sure

[@mrclyde7950]

Leave Me Alone is PEAK

[@milescory8928]

This and Loveless’s album cover are probably my two favorite cover arts

[@ReeceBLambert]

Talking Heads Remain In Light though. That cover is god tier.

[@Sporkonafork1]

Lily’s In The Presence of Nothing is another good candidate

[@Sporkonafork1]

*the ORIGINAL floral cover

[@d3w01d]

Absolutely love this album, Age of Consent is amazing, next album from New Order to check out is Substance. It is a must check out. Ceremony and Temptation are spectacular songs from that album.

[@SD-ou3pt]

Substance as good as it is is not an actual studio album though

[@StarMagicX]

If you liked Power, Corruption and Lies I'd recommend you to take a listen to their other albums (Low-Life, Brotherhood and Technique are incredible)

[@Egotej]

Fun fact: The Cure and New Order have both been accused of ripping off the other's songs, New Order in "All The Way" (said to sound like "Just Like Heaven"), and Cure in "Inbetween Days" (said to sound like "Dreams Never End"), which coincidentally is the opening track on "The Head on The Door", which Smags should absolutely listen to! 😤 If you continue to listen to New Order, my recommendation is Brotherhood because "Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of the best songs of all time :)

[@mjs734]

Also The Walk from The Cure was said to be a rip off of Blue Monday by New Order.

[@garyfox7558]

"Just Like Heaven"-sounding one is "All The Way", not "Round & Round". I wonder if that was a joke. Both great songs anyway 🙂

[@Egotej]

@@garyfox7558 oh no, got those two mixed up somehow, ofc its "All the Way" XD thank you for pointing that out, will edit the comment accordingly!

[@garyfox7558]

@@Egotej You're welcome 😌 Robert Smith disliked "Technique", by the way. At least back then. He said something about how it was typical pop dross that sounds like everybody else. He was sometimes quite mean back then. I remember reading one of his mid-90s interviews and chuckling at how he already slagged off 5 different bands before I'd even reach the middle!

[@resiseven7407]

the thing with new order is that a lot of their best songs were non-album singles, so id probably recommend the compilation album substance if you decide to do anymore. low-life and technique are both great studio albums from them too, though!

[@lizardman7718]

You definitely gotta do Low-Life, also by New Order

[@westsouthcentral]

Heard this album for the first time in college in 1985 and it was life changing. Until then Joy Division and New Order records could only be found in the import section of record stores.

[@PatrickMapper]

New order had crazy variation, technique was probably their best work after PCL its mad dancy while still sounding unique and guitarish.

[@musicaddict5076]

Your Silent Face is probably my favorite on the album with Age of Consent a close second. Just love Bernard’s voice on it.

[@GeroAri]

EL JARDÍN DE LOS PRESENTES SMAGS PLEASE DDDD:

[@eschmabriel]

second

[@katash2acmamut]

MORE LATIN MUSIC SMAGS PLEASE

[@fernandohinojosa3211]

Acabou chorare by Novos baianos!

[@nym5qu17]

leave me alone always makes me cry. its like im super nostalgic for a time period i never got to live thru

[@JFGaming.]

No fucking way literally this has been on repeat all day for me and I listen to A LOT of albums

[@vivwindsor4055]

Check out Movement iit's the first New Order album , it's more of a transition album between Joy Division and New Order.

[@pgvalhalla]

You can tell they were starting to get influence from their trips to the New York club scene. Blue Monday was the best selling club single of all time! Simple Minds, New Gold Dream is a timeless classic that would be a good one to check out

[@Manannan0402]

Probably New Order's best album. I'd suggest their 1989 album Technique as your next stop. From 1983, I'd suggest investigating Murmur, the debut album from R.E.M., and Head Over Heels by The Cocteau Twins.

[@kuvaytcev]

Low-Life and Technique next, please, they're even better

[@PatrickMapper]

Technique is genuinely their best work

I'd definitely recommend the 2006 Marie Antoinette soundtrack, it's packed with 80s gems

[@samstevenson5328]

If you dig this, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Orchestral Manoevres in the Dark! PHENOMENAL 80s electronic band

[@Toomooo]

i recommend give up by the postal service

[@gsming548]

Do Technique by New Order. Its my favourite

[@hurbruhsd]

There's just something so whimsical and charming about the music in the 80s. I'd also love to see your reaction to the The Blue Nile - Hats.

[@johnnylikes]

Simple Minds (the Breakfast Club "Don't you forget about me" band) are an often overlooked band from the era and they had some really good albums --> Empires and Dance, Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call. Also, nice reaction/analysis!

[@insideoutghost]

El Jardin de los Presentes by Invisible!

[@gou2es]

SIIII PORFAVORRR

[@PowerSlave66]

@@gou2es ARGENTINA PAPAAAA, AGUANTE SPINETTA

[@nahuuupf]

The best band in the world, Temptation is the best song of all time. Love this album and you Smags :)

[@josh0s]

Soft cell non-stop erotic cabaret is another classic from the 80s that is essential listening

[@loops734]

one of my all time favorites sooo underrated. its a 10/10 in my eyes

[@riskydigitsta1794]

Ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah! Love New Order.I’m so damn excited for your review of The Pogues, my god I can’t wait. They are definitely something different, so it would be cool to see your blind but honest response. Legend that you still heart and reply to comments. Thanks for all the vids!

[@manhattenman6075]

Great album, great choice and New Order are fucking great. Go through their albums.

[@Kast_311]

Alright Smags, listen up buddy, summers getting close to being over and you really need to hear these albums. They are all perfect summer songs and I’ve been practically begging for some forever. Here they are: When We Were Friends: The Backseat Lovers (vital listen) Citrona- Flipturn ( you cannot go wrong with any flipturn sing and they produce some of the most magical stuff nowadays along with the backseat lovers) Attic Sessions- Arcy Drive ( this is a generational put on and it’s a phenomenal album) Dr. Dog- Dr. Dog ( surprisingly has a great late summer vibe with so many chill tunes

[@pazuzu1]

smags if you see this listen to joy divison's song atmosphere. it's their best song (consensus) but it isn't on an album. make it a short or something idk however you want to do it edit: also if you like decades you will love atmosphere it is scientifically proven

[@bensbeats]

Age of consent is one of my favourite songs of all time let’s go 💪

[@lukebrinton521]

Oh fuck 😭 one of my favorite albums

[@mateusbragarezende725]

Please listen to movement its like the perfect mix of new order and joy division

[@ronancomaskey8952]

Low-Life, Brotherhood and Technique all fuck but I think Brotherhood would be the next one I'd recommend, then Low-Life and then Technique

[@ronancomaskey8952]

The Substance compilation is also absolutely mandatory

[@o0LanternLight0o]

SCOTT WALKER - THE DRIFT

[@mjs734]

Great to see you doing some New Order. Put on your dancing shoes and check out their Technique album 👍 (And do Bowie - Outside obv😉)

[@bodolfhalvgud1269]

My Recommendation is "Bee Thousand" by Guided by voices, one of my all time faves! 🤘

[@smoshbooz]

Great suggestion. Their best for sure imo

[@dogmanbitehurt8243]

WON’T YOU PLEASE LET ME GO

[@Alt-fg3ml]

Let's goooooooo!! This album has stayed my favorite of all time even as I explored so much different and more niche stuff just because of how much I grew up with it. Definitely check out some more New Order stuff sometime. Although Joy Division is of course gloomy, I think I've always preferred New Order's quiet melancholy they've got.

[@ishowspeed8813]

bro please listen to Lou Reed - Berlin and Velvet Underground’s third album. These two are definitely something you would enjoy listening to and also two albums where Reed is at his most genius

[@JackMellor498]

Great album Lot of people I know give New Order shit because Joy Division was so influential in the brief time they occupied in music history, but logically, the sound of New Order is likely where Joy Division would’ve gone anyway. Ian Curtis wasn’t opposed to electronic music, he loved Kraftwerk, and Your Silent Face is very Kraftwerk-esque minus the guitars

[@bombastrophee8433]

Can’t tell if bros mewing streak or consistency run has gone longer🙏

[@ryangates3992]

Gotta listen to Technique

[@Aidan0423]

please do Substance by New Order ❤

[@eschmabriel]

just finished this a bit ago! I've preferred new order to joy division since i heard low-life

[@wojtekwoszczyk5765]

New Order ,,Movement" or The Smiths ,,Strangeways,Here We Come" now I guess.

[@phagellama2811]

Strangeways here we come is a banger for sure

[@Johnxxxxxxx]

Gotta react to Substance by these guys next

[@ZenixRulez]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic) Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

[@Zavala1]

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic is jangle pop perfection. Loved the singles for years but only delved into the album this year. It's rare nowadays that I "get into" an album and want to play it repeatedly but it really presses some of my buttons.

[@bryanforis1839]

You made it easy to say it a great song big hits over time new order it took time for them to take them from 1976 to 2024 almost 50 years

[@xanApfel]

Dear Smags. Please listen to spoon kill the moonlight. Just saw them live they are truly the most consistent band of all time you will love it!! - Xanman

[@MCMSD]

Hey Smags, if you haven’t already checked out some of the work of Red House Painters, it’d be pretty nice if you did a video listening to their second album, Rollercoaster.

[@DRACULAFLOWTHEMUSICMAESTRO]

should check out the SUBSTANCE 1987 compilation or the best stuff by new order !

[@KBH48]

Day 5 of asking for 24 Hour Revenge Therapy by Jawbreaker or Repeater by Fugazi

recs: - Cap n' Jazz - Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We​’​ve Slipped on, and Egg Shells We​’​ve Tippy Toed Over (yeah that's the title lol, cap n jazz basically invented midwest emo) - New Order - Low Life (better than power corruption & lies imo) - Parannoul - Sky Hundred (just came out, super good) - Title Fight - Shed - Drop Nineteens - Delaware - Origami Angel - Somewhere City - Daniel Johnston - Hi How Are You - Newfound Interest in Connecticut - Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home

[@8MIIIR]

I think no one else will ever recommend this album so i will, please react to Gathering swans by Choir Boy 🙏 love

[@Kyhec]

Love this album, you gotta hear Low Life next

[@RumRaspberryMocha]

Then “Technique” from 1989 ❤❤❤

[@robinthemusician]

You should checkout Will Wood! All of it is great but the self-ish is great for concept and the Normal Album or Everything is a Lot are but great for bops

God no please don't

Peter Hook was sick on this album. Going to see him next month and he’s playing both Joy Division and New Order Substance albums. Can’t wait!

[@Andermander429]

Have fun! I went to one and it was a blast!

[@musicaddict5076]

Actually saw NO with the Sugarcubes and PIL on the Substance tour back in 87 or 88. I’m sure it won’t be that epic but will still be fun!

[@meatsuit6922]

If you like tracks like Age Of Consent and would be interested in a more modern contemporary, you should check out the album Cherish The Light Years by Cold Cave

[@creaturekaspar]

PLEASE react to Fearless Movement by Kasmasi Washington. This album somehow manages to pull of the best jazz I've ever heard, the best R&B I've ever heard, and the best rap I've ever heard.

[@phagellama2811]

Good i really wanted to check out kamasi washington

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

New order does the typical English thing that I do not understand. They had a massively hit single with blue Monday and then release the album that not only doesn't include Blue Monday but there's no singles. Oddly though 586 uses a lot of the same sound patterns as Blue Monday.

[@fullcol]

smags gets me and closer and closer every day😖

[@moviemania2269]

You need to do fear by john cale from the velvet underground. One of my favorite albums ever...and also How the hell have you not reacted to Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk Yet.

[@bernhardfbuttner5694]

Thanks for this one! Recommendation(s): Nobody does The Paper Chase. John Congleton: fuckin' genius! Maybe you wanna try the first two albums "Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know" and "Hide The Kitchen Knives" - psychosis formed to sound and lyrics!

[@fernandohinojosa3211]

Born to run, Darkness on the edge of town, Nebraska and Tunnel of love by Bruce Springsteen! PLEASE!

[@UltravioletASMR]

Such a good album. As far as other 80s albums you should listen to "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets" by Metallica. Also "Heaven Or Las Vegas" by the Cocteau Twins (technically 90s, but still worth a listen).

[@Davidsssrt]

You should check out low life by them aswell its more consistent imo

[@CreAnt.]

I hope that someday you will react to some killing joke album

[@smoshbooz]

This album is really good, but doesn't sound too much like JD anymore. For that, listen to their first album, that really is a transition record. It's pretty good so definitely interesting if you want to hear what they sounded like right after (literally right after) Ian passed.

[@keith-c]

Yooooooo... love this album. One of my few vinyls to get a spot up on my wall. Based on your reaction here, I think you'd really like "Any Other City" by Life Without Buildings. Similar to PCaL, the guitar, bass, and drums are so in the pocket with one another (and it also gets a wall spot from me)

[@pigonthewind7908]

Pure lack of disappointment from smags

[@CoolcatzCorner]

Y'all think we'll ever get a AIC reaction? I already know Smags would love Jar of Flies, Dirt, and Unplugged. Or is it just me?

[@joopnoop9343]

Dude you GOTTTA do Man Alive by King Krule fr its perfection

Oh cool, this album seems cool!! Albums I recommend are, Ram by Paul McCartney Pop Food and Hilo by Jack Stauber

[@chucklenutter5371]
