New Order has put out a ton of bangers over the decades, so NME took it upon themselves to rank their albums. They note that the "Substance" compilation doesn't count.
9. Waiting for The Sirens’ Call (2005)
-The first album with Gillian Gilbert, and without Peter Hook
/
7. Republic (1993)
-Drummer Stephen Morris said this was “a very, very unpleasant record to make. And we shouldn’t have made it, really”
-The band was having a ton of trouble with Factory Records (Check out the film 24 Hour Party People for more on this.)
-There was also a ton of tension between the band at the time
/
6. Music Complete (2015)
-No one expected New Order to put out a CD this good, at this point in time
-The source calls Tutti Frutti one of their finest dance moments
-This OP suggests you listen to the song Singularity, too
/
4. Brotherhood (1986)
-All synth, pounding drums, and more
-The latter half of the album is a real party
/
1. Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)
-Their most defining release, which went on to influence club music in the 1980s and beyond
